Comparison · RecurBoard and ChartMogul and Baremetrics
ChartMogul or Baremetrics with Exact Online?
ChartMogul and Baremetrics are strong subscription analytics tools. They are built around payment systems such as Stripe and Chargebee. If you invoice from Exact Online, things are different.
Short answer
ChartMogul and Baremetrics have no standard connection to Exact Online; you have to supply your data via CSV or your own API integration. If you bill through Stripe or Chargebee, they are an excellent choice. If you invoice from Exact Online, RecurBoard works without that extra step.

- You are an international software company and want benchmarks against other SaaS companies.
- You want to connect subscription data to your CRM or data warehouse.
Choose RecurBoard if
- You invoice from Exact Online Subscription Management.

- You are not a software company but do have recurring revenue: maintenance contracts, memberships, leasing or service.
What 'not standard' means in practice
Both tools offer a way to supply data from a system they don't connect to. With ChartMogul that is a CSV upload, Google Sheets or the Import API. Baremetrics offers an API with which you create customers and subscriptions yourself.
That works, but someone has to get the data out of Exact Online, convert it to the tool's format and redo it with every change. You move the work from the spreadsheet to an integration that needs maintaining.
