"Great for tracking top-line business metrics and improving customer retention"
5/5
What do you like best about ProfitWell Metrics by Paddle?

Completely free access to great top-level reporting that I can rely on. And the Retain product gives valuable reporting insights on delinquent churn + has shown promising success with retention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProfitWell Metrics by Paddle?

The pure focus on MRR detracts from the ability to really track cash flow, which means it doesn't help so much with internal reporting (the money I will actually make month-to-month) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about ProfitWell Metrics by Paddle?

We've been using Profitwell for a few months now and it's firmly become our go-to platform for understanding our user behaviour and its impacts on subscription revenue. Highlights are the upgrade/downgrade updates, MRR reporting and insights into churning users.

It really is awesome Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for bootstrapped SaaS companies to learn about their metrics"
4.5/5
What do you like best about ProfitWell Metrics by Paddle?

The dashboards and reporting are superb. So well designed, and impart a lot of information in the most effective way possible. Saves a LOT of time trying to calculate important SaaS metrics such as ARPU and LTV etc.

We recently implemented their 'Retention' tool, and love how that gives us another perspective into customer activity - especially being able to spot trends with subscribers with low/no activity for a while so we can try to head off potential churn before it happens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProfitWell Metrics by Paddle?

Not much to dislike. I wish the updating of graphs based on manual data entry (for payments that don't go through Stripe) wasn't delayed, but we are on the free tier, so that is to be expected (I believe the paid tiers have instant updating). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"We are a finance team that uses profitwell for top level Saas analytics on a directional basis."
3.5/5
What do you like best about ProfitWell Metrics by Paddle?

live ARR tracking, and the breakout of ARR waterfall by churn, downsell, new sale, upsell. Going one step further to show then trend of each contributor of the waterfall (growth rate detail, retention rates) is very helpful at giving a broader perspective for how the business is doing. Having the ability to go down to the account level detail to see how it's changed month by month provides the other end of the spectrum in detail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProfitWell Metrics by Paddle?

It only provides a directional number rather than an exact number. There are nuances to our business that make it difficult for profitwell to at a real time spit out the live ARR number. The biggest issue comes when we use promotions to incentivize our customers. We have not gotten to that level of detail with profitwell to regulate those month by month changes. The other main issue involves credits, which can somethimes show as a deactivation and reactivation. This shouldn't impact ARR Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Accurate tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about ProfitWell Metrics by Paddle?

Of all the tools we've reviewed, profitwell was the most accurate (we looked at baremetrics, profitwell, even Stripe's own dashboard). After manually calculating our MRR, profitwell was the closest.

Also, the goal and pacing emails are great

Finally, it's amazing that they provide this tool for free. It's the go to solution I recommend for all of my colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProfitWell Metrics by Paddle?

Some of the reports and views are counter intuitive (overall UX is "OK"). You can not export information by a time period (it always seem to pull entire history). Also, they seem to prefer slack integrations over email, and just from a focus standpoint, I prefer email :) They oversell some of their paid add ons, and they don't work as expected (the revenue recognition tool specifically didn't provide the value we thought it would).

"Instant value with insight that took me hours to compile myself"
5/5
What do you like best about ProfitWell Metrics by Paddle?

Immediately easy to view important metrics. I now have complete visibility into my growth and my churn. Originally, I would try to compile these metrics at the end of every month. Now, I can actually see the trends update every day. The visibility allows me to pivot quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProfitWell Metrics by Paddle?

No PayPal billing support. My subscription model previously used PayPal and unfortunately ProfitWell can't track that yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic product to provide insight into my metrics"
5/5
What do you like best about ProfitWell Metrics by Paddle?

I never knew my LTV before using this product. Now I make marketing investment decisions based on that information. It has helped me grow my business.

I also like the visibility into my growth day by day. Previously, I would have to wait until I reconciled everything monthly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProfitWell Metrics by Paddle?

Not a lot. I am on the freemium version, so its all good to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Gives me exactly what I needed. Exposes data I didn't know stripe offered."
5/5
What do you like best about ProfitWell Metrics by Paddle?

I have tried about 4 tools prior to this one. There are tools out there that provide more data points, but they were so useless. I want to know how many subs I have, my MRR and churn. Takes 2 seconds to figure this out on ProfitWell.

Not sure why or how they aren't charging for this product, but I exclusively use this now and barely log into Stripe now, haha.

As I said somewhere else, it appears that the data they provide is actually used by customers and not a list of pointless averages and sums. I'm a smaller company, around $5k MRR so take that into account as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProfitWell Metrics by Paddle?

I'm not a large company, so I am not sure about things like projections and future estimates... so I haven't flushed out that part of the app... but of what I have asked for, I haven't had any dislikes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
