ChartMogul, or a plugin inside your own WordPress?
If you run a membership site on WordPress and bill through Stripe, you may not need a separate metrics service at all.
What ChartMogul is good at
ChartMogul is a hosted subscription-analytics product for SaaS companies. It covers MRR, churn, cohorts and segmentation, has a built-in CRM, connects to many billing systems, and gives your team its own logins.
Where it does not fit a WordPress membership site
It lives outside WordPress and does not know your WordPress users. It is built mainly for software companies and their teams, so a lot of it goes unused on a small membership site. Revenue that never touched Stripe can go in, but you load it yourself: through its import API, a CSV upload, Google Sheets, or by adding subscriptions one at a time.
ChartMogul has a free plan for businesses tracking up to $10K of MRR (about $120K a year). Paid plans are priced by the recurring revenue you track and, as of October 2026, start at $69 a month, or $57 a month billed annually. Check their pricing page for current figures. (checked 2026-10-19)
What SadAnalytics does instead
SadAnalytics is a WordPress plugin. The free plugin reads Stripe with a read-only key and shows MRR, churn, lifetime value, cohort retention and the reports that go with them inside wp-admin, with each customer matched to their WordPress user by email. It also spots recurring payments that Stripe never set up as subscriptions, such as WooCommerce renewals, and counts them in your MRR. SadAnalytics Pro, coming soon, will add the revenue Stripe never saw, Upcoming Payments, CSV export, and control over who can see SadAnalytics.

Questions
Is SadAnalytics a full replacement for ChartMogul?
For the core numbers of a WordPress membership site on Stripe, yes. Segmentation, a CRM and a hosted team app are not what SadAnalytics does.
Can I run both?
Yes. SadAnalytics only reads Stripe, so it does not get in the way of anything else connected to your account.
