Cheap Baremetrics alternatives

Updated 2026-08-04

Baremetrics sits around $129/month, or roughly $1,548 a year. For a business at $2,000 MRR that's over 6% of revenue. Here's what costs less.

Free

ChartMogul — free under $10k MRR, with the best revenue-movement charts in the category. The obvious starting point for early-stage Stripe SaaS. More.

ProfitWell Metrics — free with no revenue cap, owned by Paddle. Genuinely free; it functions as a funnel into Paddle's paid products. More.

Under $50/month

MRR.io — low monthly cost, simple and accurate, limited segmentation. More.

QuantLedger — around $49/month with churn prediction. Considerably cheaper than ChartMogul at scale.

Stripe Sigma — usage-based SQL over your own Stripe data. Cheap if you're comfortable writing queries. More.

Under $50 per year

FRGMNT — $49.99/year, or $149.99 once for lifetime. That's about 3% of Baremetrics' annual cost.

It is not a like-for-like replacement, and pretending otherwise would be dishonest. What it does:

Five platforms in one figure — Stripe, App Store, Lemon Squeezy, Gumroad, PayPal. The integrations.
Native iOS, with a push notification per sale.
No backend — keys stay on your device, no account, nothing stored.

What it doesn't do: dunning, cohorts, churn analysis, forecasting, segmentation.

The honest comparison

	Price/yr	Dunning	Cohorts	Multi-platform	Native app
Baremetrics	~$1,548	✅	✅	Stripe-native	❌
ChartMogul	$0 under $10k	❌	✅	Multi-source	❌
ProfitWell	$0	❌	✅	Stripe et al.	❌
MRR.io	Low	❌	Limited	Stripe	❌
FRGMNT	$49.99	❌	❌	5 platforms	✅

Choosing on price alone is usually wrong

If you have meaningful involuntary churn, Baremetrics' dunning can recover more than its subscription costs. Failed payments are typically a few percent of revenue; recovering half of that on $10k MRR is worth more than $129/month.

Run that calculation before optimising for price. See is Baremetrics worth it under $10k MRR?.

If you don't have that problem — or you're at a revenue level where the subscription is a real proportion of income — the cheap options are genuinely sufficient.

Frequently asked

What is the cheapest Baremetrics alternative?

ProfitWell Metrics and ChartMogul both have free tiers. Among paid options FRGMNT is $49.99 per year, which is lower than any monthly plan in the category.

Are the cheap alternatives actually good?

For core metrics, yes. What you give up at lower price points is dunning, forecasting, deep segmentation and support — not accuracy.
