A Baremetrics alternative that also recovers your revenue
Baremetrics shows you churn is happening. ChurnWard shows you and fixes it with dunning recovery, pre-dunning alerts, and revenue analytics in one tool for $29/month.
What is Baremetrics?
Baremetrics is a subscription analytics platform that connects to your payment processor and gives you dashboards for MRR, churn, LTV, and more. The analytics are genuinely good, especially the trial insights and forecasting. The catch: it starts at $108/month for up to $10K MRR, and if you want payment recovery, that's a separate addon at $129+/month on top.

Why choose ChurnWard over Baremetrics
Analytics + recovery in one tool
Baremetrics charges $108+/month for analytics, then another $129+/month if you want recovery. That's $237+/month before your MRR even factors into pricing. ChurnWard bundles both for $29/month flat.
Recovery included, not upsold
Baremetrics locks recovery behind a separate addon. ChurnWard includes pre-dunning alerts, smart retries, and automated recovery emails from day one.
Flat pricing that doesn't punish growth
Baremetrics scales with your MRR. ChurnWard is $29/month whether you're at $1K or $100K MRR. Your dunning costs shouldn't grow faster than your revenue.

Frequently asked questions

You can, but the maths gets expensive. Analytics starts at $108/month and the Payment Recovery addon adds another $129+/month. That's $237+/month for what ChurnWard does for $29. If you genuinely need Baremetrics-level analytics, you could run both and still spend less than Baremetrics alone with recovery.
Yes, included at no extra cost. ChurnWard detects expiring cards and emails customers before their payment fails. Baremetrics considers this part of their paid recovery addon.
