If you bill only through Stripe and want live numbers on a phone, pick Mowt ($79/month, realtime, full iOS and Android apps). If you need dunning today or you bill through Braintree, Recurly or Chargebee, pick Baremetrics ($75/month plus $129/month for Recover). The 2-hour sync gap decides most other cases.
Compared on how each product works as of July 2026. Prices change; check each vendor directly.

|---|---|---|

| Mobile apps | Native iOS and Android with full feature parity | Native iOS app (iOS 15+); nothing on the Play Store as of June 2026 |
| Setup | Read-only Stripe OAuth; full history backfills in minutes | Connect a billing source; Capterra reviewers report some account changes need a support ticket |
| Core metrics (MRR, ARR, churn, LTV, ARPU) | Full set, Stripe-native | Full set, 28+ metrics. Effective parity here |
| Forecasting | Built in | Included |
| Cohorts and segmentation | Built in | Segment analysis included |
| Dunning / payment recovery | On the roadmap, not shipped | Recover add-on at $129/month (as of July 2026) |
| Billing sources | Stripe only | Stripe, Braintree, Recurly, Chargebee, plus app stores |
| Price at $10k MRR | $79/month (Startup, to $15k MRR) | $75/month (Launch, to $360K ARR) |
| Price at $50k MRR | $149/month (Growth, to $50k MRR) | $255/month (Growth; $600K ARR is past the $360K Launch ceiling) |
| Review footprint | Younger product, smaller third-party footprint; verify numbers against Stripe during the trial | G2 4.6/5 across 98 reviews (Feb 2026); Capterra 3.3/5 on just 3 reviews |
This is the sharpest difference between the two tools, and it isn’t a matter of interpretation. Baremetrics’ own help center describes a 2-hour data sync, even though the marketing copy says real-time. In practice that means a big account can cancel at 9:04am and still show as active at 10:45. Mowt takes the other approach: it subscribes to Stripe webhooks, so upgrades, cancellations and failed payments land on the dashboard in seconds.
Whether that matters depends on how you use the numbers. For a monthly board pack, a 2-hour lag is invisible. For a founder who checks MRR after every launch tweet, or a team that reconciles the analytics tool against the Stripe dashboard, the lag shows up fast and it erodes trust in every other number on the screen. Reviewers who left Baremetrics cite exactly this reconciliation gap more than any single feature.
Baremetrics ships a native iPhone app (iOS 15+ on the App Store), which already puts it ahead of most of this category. But there’s no Android app on the Play Store as of June 2026, so an Android-carrying cofounder gets a mobile browser and nothing else.
Mowt ships native apps on both iOS and Android, and they carry every feature the web dashboard has: churn, LTV, cohorts, forecasts, segmentation, not a trimmed read-only summary. That full-parity claim is unusual in this field; even ChartMogul, which has both apps, ships a limited Android build.
If your team is iPhone-only, this whole axis is a wash and you should weigh the other rows harder. If anyone who needs the numbers carries Android, it stops being a tiebreaker and becomes the decision. Details on what the apps cover are on the mobile page.
The two tools price on different axes, and the crossover point is specific. Baremetrics tiers on ARR: Launch is $75/month up to $360K ARR, then Growth jumps to $255/month, and Scale runs $1,152/month past $3.6M ARR (July 2026 prices). Payment Recovery and Cancellation Insights are $129/month add-ons each. Mowt tiers on MRR: $79 to $15k, $149 to $50k, $249 to $100k, $349 to $250k, $499 to $500k.
Run the math at three revenue points. At $10k MRR ($120K ARR), Baremetrics is $4/month cheaper. At $30k MRR ($360K ARR) you’re at the cliff edge: one more dollar of ARR and Baremetrics goes from $75 to $255 while Mowt sits at $149. At $50k MRR, it’s $149 vs $255, before add-ons.
Annual discounts pull in opposite directions too: Baremetrics offers 35% off annual, Mowt 20%, so a small annual-billed team can genuinely pay less on Baremetrics. Full tiers are on the pricing page.
You need failed-payment recovery today. Recover ($129/month) is shipped and working; Mowt’s dunning tools are still on the roadmap.
You bill through Braintree, Recurly, Chargebee or the app stores alongside Stripe. Mowt reads Stripe and nothing else.
You want Cancellation Insights surveys to learn why customers leave, another shipped add-on with no Mowt equivalent yet.
You’re under $360K ARR and bill annually: 35% off $75/month undercuts anything Mowt offers at that size.
You want a long third-party track record before you trust a vendor. Baremetrics has 98 G2 reviews at 4.6/5; Mowt’s footprint is smaller.
You bill only through Stripe and want the dashboard to match Stripe right now, not on the next 2-hour cycle.
Anyone on your team carries an Android phone. Mowt is the only tool in this matchup with a full-parity Android app.
You’re past $360K ARR, where the comparison flips from roughly even to $149 vs $255 per month.
You want pricing that steps gradually with MRR instead of jumping 3.4x at a single ARR threshold.
You check metrics from your phone more than your laptop and want every view, cohorts and forecasts included, in the app.
It depends on your revenue. At $10k MRR, Baremetrics Launch ($75/month) beats Mowt ($79) by $4, and its 35% annual discount widens that gap. Past $360K ARR the order flips: Baremetrics Growth is $255/month while Mowt charges $149 to $50k MRR (July 2026, see pricing).
Every 2 hours, according to Baremetrics’ own help center article on data updates, despite real-time language on the marketing site. Mowt updates in seconds because it listens to Stripe webhooks instead of polling on a schedule. For daily operators, that gap is the biggest practical difference between the two.
Not yet. Dunning and churn-busting tools are on Mowt’s roadmap but haven’t shipped, while Recover is a working $129/month add-on. If recovering failed payments is your main reason for buying an analytics tool, Baremetrics wins this matchup today.
No. Mowt is Stripe-only by design, with no Paddle, Braintree, Recurly or Chargebee support. Baremetrics connects all of those plus the Apple and Google app stores. If your billing spans multiple processors, Baremetrics (or ChartMogul) is the practical choice; Mowt only fits Stripe-native businesses.
No. Baremetrics has a native iOS app requiring iOS 15 or later, but no Android app on the Play Store as of June 2026. Mowt ships native iOS and Android apps with full feature parity, which is currently unique among Stripe subscription analytics tools.
Yes, and you should before committing. Both connect to Stripe with read-only access, so they don’t interfere with each other or your billing. Run both for a week, diff their MRR and churn numbers against the Stripe dashboard, and keep whichever one you actually open.
Every analytics tool normalizes annual plans, discounts, proration and refunds its own way, so small MRR gaps between tools are normal rather than a bug. Compare each vendor’s definition before deciding which number is wrong. Capterra reviewers have also reported inconsistent Baremetrics metrics when combining multiple payment sources.
