Baremetrics Nordva Launch
What it is Baremetrics turns data from Stripe, Braintree, Recurly, Chargebee, Shopify, the Apple App Store, Google Play and other billing sources (QuickBooks Online and Xero too, and a Universal Connector API for the rest) into subscription metrics (MRR, LTV, churn), customer profiles, segments and forecasts.

Where Nordva Launch differs

Baremetrics is a subscription-analytics product: dashboards, forecasting, segmentation, customer profiles, with dunning and cancellation insights as paid add-ons, from $49 a month billed yearly ($75 billed monthly) tiered by ARR, with a remote MCP server. Nordva Launch's revenue primitive is a small read-only view of your own Stripe account: MRR, new and churned MRR, collected revenue and a customer list, with no forecasting, no dunning and no charts beyond the dashboard. What it adds is the join Baremetrics does not make: which waitlist source each paying customer came from and what they asked for in feedback. Stripe connects on every Launch plan, the free one included; feedback is on every plan too, with AI sorting from Indie at $19 a month.

Stay on Baremetrics if

You need forecasting, cohort and segmentation analysis, dunning, or metrics from a billing system other than Stripe.

Try the overlap on the free plan.

No card. One key. The MCP server is included on every plan.
