ChartMogul is a subscription analytics and revenue intelligence platform that connects to billing systems to provide SaaS companies with accurate, real-time MRR, ARR, churn, LTV, and cohort metrics. It is the go-to analytics layer for subscription businesses that need investor-ready subscription metrics without building custom data pipelines from their billing system to a BI tool.
Product Overview
ChartMogul's core value is turning raw billing system data into standardised SaaS metrics: it connects to Stripe, Chargebee, Braintree, and App Store billing data and automatically calculates MRR movements, churn cohorts, expansion revenue, and LTV — metrics that are complex to derive accurately from raw transaction tables. This removes the engineering effort of building and maintaining a bespoke SaaS metrics data model. Compared to Baremetrics (its primary direct competitor), ChartMogul has stronger support for complex billing models (tiered pricing, add-ons, usage-based overages, multiple currencies) and more sophisticated cohort analysis. Compared to general BI tools like Looker or Metabase, ChartMogul is ready out of the box — no SQL or data modelling required. Its Workflow Automation feature enables event-triggered actions from subscription data (trial expiry, churn detection) — connecting analytics to customer lifecycle orchestration. ChartMogul also integrates with CRM and customer success tools to provide sales and CS teams with subscription health context on their accounts.
Key Features
- Real-Time Subscription Metrics: Automatically calculated MRR, ARR, churn rate, LTV, and expansion revenue — accurate subscription metrics without manual spreadsheet maintenance or custom SQL.
- Cohort Analysis: Retention and revenue cohort visualisations by plan, channel, and time period — identify which customer segments have the best long-term retention and expansion.
- Forecasting: MRR and ARR forecasting based on current growth rates and churn trends — give leadership confident revenue projections from billing data.
- Workflow Automation: Trigger actions from subscription events (trial expiry, downgrade, churn) — connect subscription signals to CRM tasks and customer success outreach automatically.
- Subscriber Segmentation: Filter metrics by plan, geography, acquisition channel, and custom attributes — drill into which segments drive growth and which are churning.
Best For
SaaS founders, operators, and CFOs at subscription businesses that need accurate, real-time SaaS metrics without building a custom billing analytics data model — particularly seed-to-Series C companies preparing investor reporting or tracking product-market fit through subscription behaviour.
