Do You Actually Need 50 Charts?
Baremetrics is a metrics dashboard. It shows you MRR, ARR, LTV, churn rate, expansion revenue, and dozens of other numbers. It's genuinely well-designed. The problem is that most SaaS founders and small teams log in once a week, glance at the MRR number, and close the tab.
Those charts tell you what happened last month. They don't tell you which specific customer is about to cancel next week. They don't send you a prioritized list of who to reach out to today. Baremetrics is descriptive — it describes your business. ChurnWire is prescriptive — it tells you what to do.
If you need a full analytics suite, Baremetrics is great. If you need to actually save customers who are slipping away, you need ChurnWire.

What You Get with ChurnWire
Risk Scores, Not Vanity Metrics
Every subscriber gets a 0-100 risk score based on real signals — failed payments, downgrades, disputes, expiring cards. You don't need to interpret a chart. The score tells you who needs attention.
Daily Digest at 9am
No dashboard to check. Every morning you get an email with your highest-risk customers, what changed overnight, and who moved from healthy to at-risk. Read it with your coffee, then go save a customer.
Half the Price
Baremetrics starts at $108/mo and goes up based on MRR. ChurnWire is $49/mo flat — unlimited subscribers, unlimited history, all features included. Your MRR grows, your ChurnWire bill doesn't.
When Baremetrics Is the Better Choice
We're not going to pretend ChurnWire replaces everything Baremetrics does. If you need a full SaaS analytics suite — MRR forecasting, cohort analysis, LTV calculations, investor-facing dashboards — Baremetrics is a solid choice. It's a different product solving a different problem.
But if your main goal is to reduce churn — to catch at-risk customers before they cancel and actually do something about it — then Baremetrics is an expensive way to get there. Its Cancellation Insights feature tells you why people left. ChurnWire tells you who's about to leave so you can stop them.
Many teams use both: Baremetrics for reporting and ChurnWire for action. But if you have to pick one, ask yourself: do you need to measure churn or prevent it?
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use ChurnWire alongside Baremetrics? +
Yes. Both connect to Stripe via read-only access. They don't interfere with each other. Some teams use Baremetrics for board-level reporting and ChurnWire for day-to-day churn prevention.
Does Baremetrics have churn risk scoring? +
No. Baremetrics calculates your overall churn rate and provides Cancellation Insights (post-churn surveys). It does not score individual subscribers by risk or proactively alert you to at-risk customers before they cancel.
How does ChurnWire pricing compare long-term? +
Baremetrics prices based on your MRR. As your business grows, your Baremetrics bill grows. At $50k MRR, you're paying $208/mo. ChurnWire is flat $49/mo regardless of your MRR or subscriber count.
What if I'm currently on Baremetrics and want to switch? +
You can set up ChurnWire in 60 seconds — just connect your Stripe account. Run both side by side during your Baremetrics billing cycle, then decide. There's no migration needed because ChurnWire pulls directly from Stripe, not from Baremetrics.
