ChartMogul vs ProfitWell
ProfitWell Metrics, now part of Paddle, gives subscription metrics away for free. ChartMogul is free up to $10K MRR and paid after that. So the real question is what ChartMogul's paid plans give you that free does not, and whether that matters at your size.

How the pricing compares
ProfitWell Metrics costs nothing at any revenue, according to Paddle's page in October 2026, and you do not need Paddle billing to use it.
ChartMogul is free to $10K MRR. Above that, Starter begins at $69 a month ($57 annual) with one billing source, and Pro at $119 ($99 annual) with up to five. Both scale with ARR. Enterprise starts at $19,900 a year.
So past $10K MRR, choosing ChartMogul means paying for what it adds: custom data sources, CRM sync both ways, warehouse export, and an independent vendor.

Which one to pick
Pick ChartMogul if
Your revenue data needs to reach your CRM or warehouse, you combine several billing systems, or you want an independent vendor.
Pick ProfitWell if
You want solid subscription metrics and benchmarks for free, on almost any billing system.
If you run several products
Neither tool looks past revenue. If you run several products, you also want to know whether each site is up, whether traffic and signups are moving, and whether a build or email provider is failing.
LopeBase puts each product's MRR from Stripe or Polar next to its traffic, signups, uptime, errors, and SEO, for every product at once. Many founders pair it with a dedicated revenue tool. It is free for one product.
