For pure analytics, ChartMogul wins: deeper cohorts, 25+ billing sources, and a free plan under $120K ARR. Baremetrics wins if you need shipped dunning; its Recover add-on has no ChartMogul equivalent. Both batch their data. Mowt (our product, $79/month) is the pick for Stripe-only teams who want live numbers and full mobile parity.
Compared on how each product works as of July 2026. Prices change; check each vendor directly.
| Dimension | Mowt | Baremetrics | ChartMogul |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data freshness | Stripe webhooks; changes land in seconds | 2-hour sync cycle, per its own help center | Stripe near-live with a 10-minute processing window; PayPal syncs every 3 hours |
| Starting price | $79/mo (to $15k MRR) | $75/mo Launch (to $360K ARR) | $59/mo Starter, scaling with ARR |
| Free tier | 7-day trial, no card | Trial only, no free plan | Genuinely free under $120K ARR |
| Price at $50k MRR ($600K ARR) | $149/mo Growth plan | $255/mo Growth tier | Starter at $119/mo for this band ($99 on annual billing) |
| Annual discount | 20% off | 35% off | 17% off |
| Mobile apps | Native iOS and Android, full feature parity | iOS only (iOS 15+); nothing on the Play Store as of June 2026 | iOS and Android, but Android lacks chart sharing and multi-account support |
| Cohort analysis | Cohorts, segmentation and forecasting included on every plan | Segment analysis across its 28+ metrics | Deepest here: cohorts by plan, geography, ACV band and custom attributes |
| Dunning / payment recovery | On the roadmap, coming soon | Recover add-on, $129/mo, shipped and working | None native |
| Billing sources | Stripe only, by design | Stripe, Braintree, Recurly, Chargebee, plus app stores | 25+ including Stripe, Paddle, PayPal, Zuora and CSV import |
| Review scores | Smaller footprint; verify against Stripe during the trial | G2 4.6/5 (98 reviews, Feb 2026); Capterra 3.3/5 (3 reviews) | Capterra 4.7/5 (44 reviews) |
| Ownership | Independent | Xenon Partners (private equity), acquired for $4M in Nov 2020 | Independent since 2014; ~67 employees, ~$7.2M ARR (2024) |
This is the cleanest factual difference on the page. Baremetrics markets real-time analytics, but its help center describes a 2-hour sync cycle, so a churn at 9am can sit invisible until 11. ChartMogul is faster and more honest about the mechanics: its docs classify Stripe, Chargebee and Recurly as real-time with a 10-minute processing window, while Braintree and HubSpot sync hourly and PayPal every 3 hours. Its status page also logged data processing delays in December 2025 that affected downstream reporting tools.
Whether any of this matters depends on how you use the dashboard. For a monthly board deck, a 2-hour lag is irrelevant. For an operator who checks MRR after a launch or a price change, it isn't.
Mowt sits at the far end of this axis: it subscribes to Stripe webhooks, so upgrades, cancellations and failed payments appear in seconds. That's the one capability neither incumbent offers at any price.
Baremetrics is a suite. One dashboard covers 28+ metrics, and the paid add-ons do jobs adjacent tools charge separately for: Recover chases failed payments and Cancellation Insights surveys leavers, at $129/month each. Slack alerts and scheduled email reports round it out.
The trade-off shows up in reviews: Capterra reviewers report inconsistent metrics and duplicate entries when combining multiple payment sources, and one described account data being deleted accidentally. Pick Baremetrics if you want metrics, dunning and exit surveys from one supplier and can live with the sync lag.
ChartMogul is a depth tool. Its cohort analysis slices by signup month, plan, geography and ACV band, and it normalizes 25+ billing sources into one MRR feed, which nothing else here matches. It ships no payment recovery at all, and G2 reviewers mention sync discrepancies against their billing systems plus aggressive price increases over time. Pick ChartMogul if analysis is the job and billing is spread across systems.
The pricing ladders diverge hard. Baremetrics runs $75/month to $360K ARR, $255 to $3.6M, then $1,152 on Scale, with each add-on stacking another $129 (as of July 2026; 35% off annual, the biggest discount here). ChartMogul starts free under $120K ARR, then Starter runs $69 to $849 by ARR ($59 to $699 annual), Pro $99 to $1,199 annual, and Enterprise from $19,900/year, with CRM seats at $39/user/month extra.
Long-time customers on G2 describe ChartMogul prices doubling and then doubling again as ARR grew, so model your own trajectory before committing. Ownership matters to the trajectory too: Baremetrics has belonged to private equity firm Xenon Partners since November 2020, and Hacker News commenters who switched away cite a slow visible roadmap since, while ChartMogul remains independent and founder-led.
Mowt prices by MRR tier instead of ARR percentage: $79/month to $15k MRR, $149 to $50k, $249 to $100k, with 20% off annual (details on the pricing page). Whatever you pick, model two years of your own growth against the ladder, not the entry price.
Choose Baremetrics if you need failed-payment recovery today: Recover ($129/month) is shipped and earning its keep, and neither ChartMogul nor Mowt matches it yet.
Choose Baremetrics if you want cancellation-reason surveys inside the same product; Cancellation Insights ($129/month) has no equivalent in the other two columns.
Choose Baremetrics if you pay annually and the 35% discount moves the math; it's roughly double what the other two offer.
Choose ChartMogul if you're under $120K ARR: its free plan carries core metrics at zero cost, which nothing else on this page does.
Choose ChartMogul if you bill through more than one system; 25+ sources normalized into a single MRR feed is its home turf.
Choose ChartMogul for serious cohort work; segmentation by plan, geography and ACV band goes deeper than either alternative.
Choose either one if your dashboard is a weekly or monthly habit and a 10-minute-to-2-hour data delay changes nothing about how you operate.
You bill only through Stripe and want the dashboard to match Stripe right now, not on the next batch cycle.
Your team checks metrics from phones. Mowt ships native iOS and Android apps with full feature parity; Baremetrics has no Android app and ChartMogul's Android build trails its iOS one.
You want published flat tiers instead of ARR-linked scaling: $79/month to $15k MRR, $149 to $50k, with 20% off annual.
You'd rather verify than trust: connect the 7-day trial (no card) read-only and diff our numbers against Stripe before paying anything.
You can wait on dunning. Ours is coming soon, not shipped, so if failed-payment recovery is urgent, Baremetrics is the honest answer today.
For analytics, yes: deeper cohorts, 25+ billing sources, a free plan under $120K ARR, and a fresher sync (10-minute window vs 2 hours). Baremetrics is better if you want dunning and cancellation surveys in one product. Neither offers realtime data or full mobile parity; that gap is where Mowt sits.
$50k MRR is $600K ARR. Baremetrics Growth costs $255/month, and adding Recover plus Cancellation Insights takes it to $513. ChartMogul's pricing slider puts that band at $119/month for Starter, $99 on annual billing. Mowt's Growth plan is $149/month flat with every feature included (all July 2026).
Yes, below $120K ARR. The free plan includes core metrics like MRR and churn, and G2 reviewers praise it as serious functionality at zero cost. Cross $120K ARR and you move onto Starter, which starts at $69/month ($59 on annual billing) and climbs toward $699 as ARR grows ($849 billed monthly). Qualifying early-stage startups can soften that cliff with ChartMogul's Startup Program: $50/month off any paid plan for 12 months.
ChartMogul, by default: it ships both iOS and Android, while Baremetrics offers iOS only with nothing on the Play Store as of June 2026. But ChartMogul's Android app lacks chart sharing and multi-account support. Mowt is the only tool here with full feature parity across both platforms.
Baremetrics has been owned by private equity firm Xenon Partners since November 2020, a $4M acquisition from founder Josh Pigford. ChartMogul remains independent, founded in 2014 by Nick Franklin, with roughly 67 employees and about $7.2M ARR as of 2024. Some switchers attribute Baremetrics' slower roadmap to the ownership change.
No, despite both using the phrase. Baremetrics' help center documents a 2-hour sync cycle. ChartMogul's docs describe a 10-minute processing window for Stripe, hourly for Braintree, and 3-hour for PayPal. Only webhook-driven tools like Mowt update in seconds; see tracking Stripe MRR for why the lag matters.
Yes, and you should. All three connect to Stripe read-only, so nothing conflicts. Run them in parallel for a week and diff each tool's MRR and churn against your Stripe dashboard. Expect small differences: each vendor normalizes proration, discounts and annual plans slightly differently, so check definitions before calling any number wrong.
