Baremetrics starts at $129/mo for Stripe revenue analytics — MRR, churn, LTV in a clean UI. Herald adds product events, support conversations, and sales-call context to the same picture, for $29/mo flat.
Baremetrics is Stripe-first, by design — MRR, churn, LTV, forecasts, all pulled from billing data. Herald ingests that same Stripe signal plus product events, Intercom and Zendesk conversations, sales-call transcripts, and Linear issues. The briefing correlates them: the week MRR dips and support volume spikes shows up as a single coherent narrative, not two separate dashboards.
Baremetrics' Metrics plan starts at $129/mo. Herald's Starter is $29/mo and flat — no tiers that scale with your revenue or customer count. You get the same briefing at $5k MRR as at $100k MRR.
Baremetrics delivers a dashboard of revenue metrics. Herald delivers a three-minute Monday briefing that names specific customers — who's expanding, who's at risk, who your team should call this week. Same underlying data; a different shape.
Herald gives each Product its own Cloudflare Durable Object with its own SQLite database. Your revenue data is architecturally isolated — not just access-controlled on shared infrastructure.

If you only want Stripe billing analytics — MRR, churn, LTV, trial conversions — and don't need product-event or support-conversation context, Baremetrics is the more focused tool.
If you want Recover (failed-payment recovery) or Cancellation Insights, those are Baremetrics add-ons that Herald doesn't cover.
Drop the Herald SDK alongside Stripe, connect Intercom if you use it, read Monday's briefing. Starter is $29/mo — run it alongside Baremetrics until you know which one you reach for.
