    As of Oct 2026, Baremetrics is subscription analytics with paid add-ons for failed payments and cancellations, plus a 0–100 customer score in limited release.

    NORTH METRICMONEY AT RISK FIRST

    North Metric is a Baremetrics alternative for churn on Stripe: every customer ranked by money at risk before the cancel, a drafted move you approve, and money kept counted against customers left alone.

    01 — AT A GLANCE

    Same churn.Different job.

    Baremetrics shows who may leave and offers at the cancel, while North Metric ranks risk by money first, drafts the move and counts what you kept.

    03 — CANCELLATIONS

    Cancellation Insightsvs acting earlier

    One asks why at the click, the other works the weeks before it.

    Most common is not most costly: here the top reason by $/mo comes up less often.
    Cancellation Insights is a $129/mo Baremetrics add-on that collects cancel reasons as they happen.

    Since Jun 29, 2026 it also shows retention offers inside its cancel widget, included at no extra cost and scoped by cancel reason. At launch the offer was a discount, with pauses and trial extensions listed as coming soon (Baremetrics changelog, Jun 29, 2026).

    North Metric acts before the click.

    Every paying customer is ranked by money at risk, and each at-risk customer gets one drafted move: a check-in note when usage drops, or a pause or plan option for a valuable customer with a price reason. When a cancel is scheduled, a save email is drafted the same day.

    North Metric also captures the cancel reason and totals reasons by type, in count and $/mo, split by customer type.

    You see which reasons cost the most, not only which come up most.

    04 — FAILED PAYMENTS

    Recover vs a noteafter Stripe's retries

    Neither retries cards itself. The difference is what happens around the retries.

    EXAMPLE
    ONE FAILED PAYMENT · ACME · $420/MO
    Payment fails
    Your processor's retries
    Last retry · still unpaid
    BAREMETRICS · RECOVER
    7-email sequenceSMSPaywall after a grace periodBranded card form

    NORTH METRIC
    Hard decline: note at once
    Waits · retries go first
    QUEUECard-update note in your name
    Own card-update linkApprove
    Paid during the retries · shown apart, never counted as money keptPaid within 30 days of the note · counted
    Recover is Baremetrics' $129/mo failed-payment add-on: a 7-email sequence by default, SMS alongside, an in-app banner that turns into a paywall after a grace period, and a branded card-update form.

    Baremetrics guarantees it recovers more than your Baremetrics cost, or your next month is free (pricing and Recover pages, checked Oct 18, 2026).

    North Metric runs no dunning sequence.

    Stripe's retries and emails go first. When they end unpaid, North Metric drafts one personal note in your name with its own card-update link, for you to approve. Declines Stripe can't retry, like a lost or stolen card, get the note at once.

    Payments Stripe recovers during its retries are shown apart and never counted as money kept.

    A payment counts as recovered only if it's paid within 30 days of North Metric's note. If failed payments are your biggest leak and you want SMS and a paywall, Recover reaches further.

    05 — RISK

    Revenue Pulse vs aranked list with moves

    Both score customers 0–100. One shows the risk; the other adds the move and the result.

    3Acme$420/mo × 72Check-in note$302/mo
    4Tallow & Co$150/mo × 81Save email$122/mo
    The top score lands fourth: it costs least to lose.
    As of Oct 18, 2026, Baremetrics' help center says Revenue Pulse is rolling out gradually and needs its newest Stripe integration.

    It scores every customer 0–100 from named factors, and adds revenue at risk, what discounts cost and a daily briefing.

    North Metric's churn prediction gives every paying customer a risk level (Likely, Possible or Safe), a 0–100 risk score and up to three reasons with data and dates, ranked by MRR × risk.

    Next to each customer is the move to keep them, ready to approve.

    Every move's result goes into one record, compared with at-risk customers held back, 10% by default.

    Results show as ranges, labeled Early until there's enough data, and every kept dollar is tied to an invoice.

    FAQ

    Still deciding?Fair questions.

    Yes, in part. Revenue Pulse scores every customer 0–100 and shows revenue at risk, but as of Oct 18, 2026 it is still rolling out. North Metric pairs its 0–100 risk score with a drafted move and a record of the money kept.
