Every chart you actually want. Nothing you don't.
Every analytics tool ships with a default view of what matters - a set of charts someone else decided you'd need. Custom Dashboards is Chartsy's answer to that: a dashboard built entirely from the questions you actually ask, one chart at a time, with nothing on it that isn't there because you put it there.
Stripe's dashboard, Baremetrics' dashboard, even Chartsy's own four starter templates - all of them reflect a general idea of what a SaaS business should track. That's a reasonable starting point, but no two businesses ask the same questions. A usage-based pricing company cares about metrics a flat-fee company never touches. A team mid-way through a pricing migration cares about a chart that won't matter again in six months.
Custom Dashboards is where you diverge from the default. Start from a template if you want a head start, or start from nothing - either way, every chart you add from that point on exists because it answers a question specific to your business, not because a template author included it.
Most 'custom dashboard' features in other tools mean a chart builder - pick a metric from a dropdown, choose a dimension, set a filter, choose a chart type, save. It works, but it requires knowing the tool's data model before you can use it.
Chartsy skips the configuration screen entirely. Ask ChartsyAI a question in plain English - 'show me MRR by plan for the last 12 months' or 'which customers upgraded last quarter' - and the chart it returns can be saved directly to your dashboard with one click. Building a fully custom dashboard is just a sequence of questions, not a sequence of dropdowns.
A custom dashboard isn't a one-time build. Add a chart the moment a new question becomes relevant - a pricing change you're evaluating, a churn spike you're investigating, a metric your investors just started asking about. Remove a chart the moment it stops mattering. Rearrange freely so the most important number is always the first thing you see.
Because every chart is generated from your actual Stripe or Paddle data - including any metadata fields you've been tracking - a custom dashboard can reflect segments and questions no preset template would ever anticipate. It's not a fixed structure you outgrow. It's built to keep changing shape as your business does.
Link your Stripe or Paddle account via read-only OAuth. Chartsy syncs your data and keeps it current automatically.
Use one of the four starter templates as a base, or begin completely empty - both are equally valid starting points for a custom dashboard.
Type any question in plain English. When the chart it returns is one you want to keep, save it to your dashboard with a single click.
Move charts, rename them, or remove ones that no longer matter. Your dashboard stays fully yours, updating automatically with every data sync.
Custom Dashboards is for SaaS founders and operators whose business doesn't fit neatly into a generic template - usage-based pricing, an active pricing migration, an investor asking for a specific metric no preset dashboard covers. If you've ever looked at a standard dashboard and thought 'I don't need most of this, and it's missing the one thing I actually check,' this is built for that.
