Works with Restrict Content Pro

The recurring revenue report Restrict Content Pro leaves out.

When RCP bills through Stripe, it creates real Stripe subscriptions. SadAnalytics reads them with a read-only key and shows MRR, churn, retention and lifetime value inside wp-admin.

What Restrict Content Pro shows you today

Memberships, payments, customers, and reports for earnings, refunds, sign-ups and membership counts. No MRR, no churn rate, no cohort retention.

How SadAnalytics reads it

RCP creates a Stripe subscription for each recurring membership paid through Stripe. SadAnalytics reads customers, subscriptions, charges, invoices and prices from Stripe with a restricted key, spreads annual plans into a monthly figure, and matches each Stripe customer to their WordPress user by email.

Nothing is installed on the RCP side, and nothing changes in Stripe.

What you get

The monthly recurring revenue card: the headline figure, the number of subscriptions behind it, the change against last month, and a sparkline.
Your real MRR, with annual plans spread monthly and detected subscriptions counted.
Four months of the Revenue report's movement table: new, reactivation, expansion, contraction and churn, then net new MRR and ending MRR for each month.
What changed, and why: new, expansion, contraction, churn, reactivation.
The cohort retention heatmap: each monthly group of new members and the share still paying at one, three, six and twelve months.
Each signup month, followed for a year.

Restrict Content Pro questions

Is this still Restrict Content Pro, or Kadence Memberships now?

Restrict Content Pro's own site now points to Kadence, where the membership plugin continues as Kadence Memberships. Nothing changes for SadAnalytics: it reads the Stripe subscriptions either one creates, so an existing RCP site and a Kadence Memberships site report the same way.

Does SadAnalytics change anything in RCP?

No. It reads Stripe only.

What about free memberships?

They have no Stripe subscription, so they do not count toward MRR. Trials that convert are counted from the day they pay.

Annual memberships?

Spread into a monthly figure.
