Indie Hacker Revenue Dashboard - Multi-Platform
The Problem
Solo indie hackers and founders track revenue across fragmented platforms like Stripe, LemonSqueezy, Gumroad, PayPal, and app stores, with no unified dashboard for total MRR, churn, LTV, and cohorts; Baremetrics is Stripe-only while ProfitWell/Paddle focuses on its own billing. Indie Hackers relies on self-reported, unverified revenue numbers, lacking any analytics tooling. Thousands of indie hackers actively share revenue data on platforms like Indie Hackers, indicating scale, and they currently spend $50-100/month on partial solutions like Metrical or Baremetrics.

Core Insight
Provides the only unified dashboard aggregating real-time MRR, churn, LTV, and cohort analysis across Stripe, LemonSqueezy, Gumroad, PayPal, and app stores—filling gaps in Baremetrics (Stripe-only), ChartMogul (limited integrations), and RevenueCat (app stores only).
- Target Customer
- Indie hackers/solo SaaS founders with $1k-50k MRR across multiple platforms (e.g., web sales via Gumroad/LemonSqueezy + app store subs), part of a community of 10k+ active makers on Indie Hackers who verify traction via Stripe integrations like StartuPage.
- Revenue Model
- Freemium with free tier up to $5k total MRR across platforms, then tiered at $29/month (up to $20k MRR), $79/month (up to $100k), $149+/month higher—undercutting ChartMogul's $100 min while matching Baremetrics/ProfitWell value at indie-friendly prices.
Competitive Landscape
$50/month for Starter (1 metric), $90/month for Pro (all metrics)
Baremetrics only integrates with Stripe and a few select platforms like Recurly, lacking support for Gumroad, LemonSqueezy, PayPal, or app stores. It does not provide unified MRR, churn, LTV, or cohort analysis across multiple diverse payment processors.
Free core metrics, $59/month for Retain (churn tools), enterprise custom
Originally focused on Stripe, ProfitWell post-acquisition by Paddle primarily supports Paddle billing and select integrations, missing broad coverage of Gumroad, LemonSqueezy, PayPal, and app stores for comprehensive multi-platform MRR and cohort analysis.
$100/month minimum (based on MRR), scales with volume
ChartMogul supports Stripe, Braintree, and some others but has limited or no native integrations with Gumroad, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal; app store support is partial via CSV imports, hindering real-time unified dashboards for solo founders.
Free up to $10k MRR, $29/month up to $50k MRR, $99/month higher tiers
Metrical focuses on Stripe-only revenue metrics with churn and LTV but ignores other platforms like app stores or Gumroad, forcing indie hackers to manually aggregate data from multiple sources.
Free up to $10k tracked revenue, 0.8% thereafter (min $119/month)
RevenueCat excels in app store (Apple/Google) subscription analytics with LTV and cohorts but does not support web platforms like Stripe, Gumroad, or LemonSqueezy, leaving a gap for multi-platform totals.
Willingness to Pay
- $50-100/month
Product teams are already paying for tools like Productboard ($20K+/yr). A focused AI tool that does one PM task extremely well can undercut these at $50–$100/mo.
