Baremetrics Pricing (2026): What It Costs and How It Compares to Adlega
Baremetrics is subscription-analytics software that plugs into Stripe (and other billing systems) to surface real-time SaaS metrics, MRR, churn, LTV, and more, plus an optional Payment Recovery add-on to recover failed payments. There are three plans set by your ARR: Launch from $49/month, Growth from $189/month and Scale from $749/month when billed yearly ($75, $255 and $1,152 billed monthly). Payment Recovery and Cancellation Insights are add-ons at $129/month each. There is no permanent free plan; a free trial is offered. Baremetrics is excellent at showing what has already happened in your subscription business, and it also sells forward planning: Forecast+ adds a P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, runway and scenarios, with scenario planning listed on the Scale plan. Adlega is built the other way round: a driver-based SaaS forecast first, with an AI CFO, from a free plan.
Baremetrics' strength is zero-effort reporting: connect your billing provider and get an accurate, real-time dashboard of MRR, churn, ARPU, and LTV without building anything. For founders who just want to see the numbers, that is genuinely valuable, and the Payment Recovery add-on can pay for itself by recovering failed charges. For planning, Baremetrics starts from those actuals: Forecast+ projects revenue from your Baremetrics data and builds the P&L and cash view from a QuickBooks or Xero connection. An earlier version of this page said Baremetrics does not forecast or run scenarios; that was wrong.
What we checked in the live demo
Baremetrics runs a public demo with sample data at demo.baremetrics.com, no signup needed. We went through it on October 12, 2026. Screenshots below are ours, with Baremetrics' sample data.
Demo only: we have not connected our own billing data to a paid Baremetrics account, so data accuracy and sync behaviour are not tested.

Prices verified on baremetrics.com/pricing on October 10, 2026.
Plans are priced on your ARR; yearly billing is up to 35% cheaper than monthly. No permanent free plan; a free trial is available. An earlier version of this page listed a $129/month tier; $129 is the price of each add-on, not a plan.
Baremetrics is testing a second version of its pricing page (seen on October 11, 2026): Launch free up to $180K ARR and then $49/month, Growth from $69/month and Scale from $409/month, with annual rates on request. Visitors see one version or the other; the table above is the version its pricing FAQ also states. Check the live page before you buy.
Baremetrics vs Adlega
They overlap on forecasting but start from opposite ends. The honest split:
| Dimension | Baremetrics | Adlega |
|---|---|---|
| Category | Subscription analytics, with Forecast+ planning on top | Financial forecasting & planning |
| Starting point | Actual metrics from billing data; forecast extends them | Driver-based model from your own assumptions |
| Source | Your billing data (Stripe, etc.) | Your assumptions and drivers |
| Core job | Show MRR/churn/LTV as they are | Project MRR/runway and plan ahead |
| Entry price | $49/mo billed yearly ($75 monthly), no free plan | Free plan; paid from $49/mo |
| AI | Analytics + insights | AI CFO that explains every forecast number |
The bottom line
If you want an effortless, accurate view of what your subscription business is doing right now, Baremetrics is a strong choice, and its Payment Recovery add-on can pay for itself. If you already pay for Baremetrics, its Forecast+ may cover a simple forward view. If you want a driver-based model of the whole SaaS business, with base/best/worst scenarios, runway and every number explained, without paying for an analytics plan first, that is what Adlega is for. To try Baremetrics itself, it offers a free trial (affiliate link). Adlega gives you projected MRR/ARR, churn, CAC, LTV and runway, an AI CFO, a free plan, and paid plans from $49/month.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Baremetrics cost?
Baremetrics has three plans set by your ARR: Launch from $49/month (up to $360K ARR), Growth from $189/month ($360K to $3.6M) and Scale from $749/month ($3.6M+), billed yearly. Billed monthly they start at $75, $255 and $1,152. Payment Recovery and Cancellation Insights cost $129/month each on top. There is no permanent free plan, though a free trial is offered.
Is Baremetrics a forecasting tool?
Partly. Its core is real-time subscription analytics from billing data, and it sells Forecast+ on top: revenue projections from your Baremetrics data, plus a P&L, balance sheet, cash flow and runway built from QuickBooks or Xero. Scenario planning is listed on the Scale plan. It is not a driver-based model built from your own assumptions.
What is the difference between Baremetrics and Adlega?
Baremetrics starts from what your subscription business has done (actual MRR, churn, LTV from billing data) and extends it with Forecast+. Adlega starts from a driver-based model of what it will do (projected revenue, costs, runway, scenarios) with an AI CFO that explains every number.
What is a Baremetrics alternative that forecasts?
For the forward model rather than historical analytics, Adlega is a SaaS-native forecasting tool with a free plan and paid plans from $49/month, native projected metrics, runway, and an AI CFO.

Where Adlega is weaker
Adlega is self-serve: you build the model yourself. The AI CFO guides you and explains every number, but no analyst builds it for you, so a founder who wants the work done by a person may prefer a done-for-you service. Its integrations (Stripe, Chargebee, Google Analytics, Google Ads), forecast-vs-actuals and scenario comparison are still rolling out on the Growth plan, so today most numbers come from the drivers you enter rather than synced data. And it is built around SaaS metrics, so a business without recurring revenue will get less from it than from a general-purpose planning tool.
