A guided, narrative-driven view of your subscription revenue that walks you through current MRR, monthly movements, plan-level splits, and top customers - in that order, every time you open it.
Most subscription analytics tools put every metric on one screen and leave you to figure out what matters. The result is a dashboard you glance at, feel vaguely informed by, and close - without a clear answer.
We kept seeing founders open their Stripe dashboard, see a revenue number, and close it - without knowing whether that number was healthy, fragile, or improving. The problem wasn't the data. Stripe has the data. The problem is that raw data tools put the burden of synthesis on you. If you don't already know what questions to ask, you leave without answers.
The dashboard is structured as a sequence of questions that build on each other, not a grid of unrelated metrics.
At the top: your current MRR alongside last month's - dollar delta and percentage change, immediately visible. Below that: a 12-month trend line showing each month of MRR as a single point, so you can see at a glance whether predictable revenue is actually building over time.
Next: the MRR movements chart. Bars above zero represent revenue added that month; bars below represent revenue lost. Stack height shows total impact. In one view, you see whether a growth month was driven by meaningful new revenue or just noise.
Then: the plan breakdown. Every active pricing plan shows its MRR contribution, customer count, and month-over-month percentage change. Toggle plans on and off to compare them directly. Most teams find that growth and churn concentrate in one or two plans - and seeing that clearly changes how you think about pricing and retention.
Finally: ARPU, customer count, net revenue, and refunds together on one card - and below that, your top customers ranked by current monthly contribution, not lifetime value or signup date.
The sequence matters. Current state → movement over time → plan breakdown → customer ranking. That order isn't arbitrary. It's the same order a good analyst would walk you through your numbers - starting with where you are, then explaining how you got there, then showing what's driving it, then naming who matters most.
When the structure of the dashboard is the analysis, you don't need to know what questions to ask. You follow the narrative and arrive at a complete picture every time - whether it's your first week using Chartsy or your hundredth. That consistency is what makes a dashboard actually useful over time.
The MRR Breakdown Dashboard is available to all Chartsy accounts with a connected Stripe or Paddle account. Open your Chartsy dashboard, navigate to MRR Breakdown in the sidebar, and set your date range - we recommend Last 12 months for the clearest trend view.
The dashboard updates automatically as new subscription data comes in. No manual exports or refreshes needed.
