Turn your MRR target into a habit, not a number you wrote down once.
Most founders can name their goal for the year - a revenue target, a subscriber count - but far fewer can tell you whether last week actually moved them closer to it. Chartsy's Goals feature closes that loop: set a target, and your progress updates automatically as new revenue and subscribers come in, so "how am I doing" is always a current answer, not a stale guess.
Set a growth goal - an MRR target, a subscriber target, or both - and Chartsy tracks live progress toward it using your connected Stripe or Paddle data. Instead of a static number in a spreadsheet you update once a month (if that), the goal updates in real time as new revenue and subscribers come in.
A goal you check once a quarter barely functions as a goal at all - by the time you notice you're behind, there's little runway left to course-correct. A goal you can check in seconds, any day, is one you can actually steer toward.
Challenges layer a gamified structure on top of goal tracking, built for founders who find a bare number less motivating than visible progress with some structure around it. Rather than a single static target sitting in the background, Challenges frame growth as a series of milestones to hit, which tends to keep momentum higher over a multi-month push than a single distant number does.
This matters most for solo founders and small teams without a manager checking in on quarterly targets - the accountability has to come from the tool itself, or from a community you're sharing progress with.
If checking progress requires opening a spreadsheet, exporting Stripe data, and doing manual math, most founders simply stop checking - not because the goal stopped mattering, but because the friction of checking became higher than the perceived value. Distant goals lose their pull over time, too: "$10k MRR by December" feels motivating in January and abstract by August. Breaking a large goal into smaller, checkable milestones keeps the target close enough to feel real week to week, rather than becoming a number you've mentally filed away as "eventually."
Navigate to Goals in your Chartsy dashboard once your Stripe or Paddle account is connected and syncing.
Pick what you want to track toward - MRR, subscriber count, or both.
For example, "$8,000 MRR by the end of Q3." Chartsy uses this to calculate live progress from your data.
Your standing against the goal is calculated automatically from live Stripe or Paddle data - no manual updates needed. Turn a goal into a Challenge for a milestone-based structure, or share progress publicly with Share Progress.
Growth Goals & Challenges is for SaaS founders and small teams who want an ongoing, low-friction way to track a growth target - especially solo founders without a manager or board checking in on quarterly numbers. If you've set a goal before and quietly lost track of it by month two, this is built to close that gap.
