Know your real MRR
Gleam connects to your Stripe account and calculates the metrics Stripe's own dashboard doesn't get right — real MRR, ARR, churn rate, and a full movement breakdown: new, expansion, contraction, churn, and reactivation.
Most billing dashboards calculate MRR from invoice amounts, which means upgrades get counted as new revenue and annual subscriptions distort your monthly number. Gleam calculates MRR from Stripe Price objects instead, so mid-cycle upgrades are classified correctly and annual plans are normalized to their true monthly value.
Key features
- Accurate MRR breakdown — new, expansion, contraction, churn, and reactivation, calculate correctly from day one
- Daily email digest — a plain-English summary every morning at 8am your local time: your MRR, who churned, and whether you're on track. No login required.
- Churn feed with customer detail — every cancellation, payment failure, and trial expiry in one feed, with full subscription history, LTV, and cancellation reason
- Month-end forecast — a projection based on your current MRR and growth rate, with a confidence rating so you know how reliable the number is
- MRR by plan tier (Pro & Team) — see which pricing tiers are driving growth and which are churning
What sets it apart
Gleam is built for founders, not analysts. Setup takes 60 seconds via Stripe OAuth — no API keys, no webhooks, no configuration. Access is read-only: Gleam can't create, modify, or cancel anything in your Stripe account.
Unlike most tools in this category, Gleam sends you the numbers instead of waiting for you to log in and check. Pricing is flat per plan, not tied to your MRR, so it doesn't get more expensive as you grow.
Who it's for
SaaS founders, membership and community operators, agencies billing recurring retainers, and paid newsletter creators — anyone running recurring revenue through Stripe who wants to know what's actually happening to it.
Starter starts at $29/month. All plans include a 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
