Pick ChartMogul if you need a hosted dashboard that aggregates Stripe + Recurly + Braintree + Chargebee in one view, your finance team needs RevOps-grade segmentation, and you are still under their free MRR ceiling. Pick Sheetrev if you are Stripe-only, you already model in Google Sheets, and you would rather not learn another tool's reporting conventions.

Where ChartMogul wins
ChartMogul's biggest strength is breadth. They aggregate seven payment sources into one normalised view, which matters if you bill some customers on Stripe and others on Recurly or Chargebee. Their segmentation is mature, with custom attributes, geographic breakdowns, and plan-level views. The free tier under $10K MRR is genuinely generous.
For finance teams that need to slice MRR by plan, geography, customer type, and acquisition channel simultaneously, ChartMogul does that out of the box without you writing pivots.
Where Sheetrev wins
Sheetrev does not own your data. The sync runs as Google Apps Script inside your own Google account using a read-only Stripe restricted key. Your numbers land as real cells in a real Google Sheet. That means:
- Every number is editable. Pivot it, write your own QUERY formula, build forecasts on top
- Paste the MRR Waterfall into your board deck without screenshots or CSV export gymnastics
- Wire revenue into your forecasting model in the same workbook
- No new tool for the team to learn. They open the Sheet they already opened
- Your data never leaves your Google account. No third-party database
For Stripe-only teams that already think in spreadsheets, Sheetrev removes the dashboard switching cost.
Pricing Side by Side
| MRR Tier | Sheetrev | ChartMogul |
|---|---|---|
| $0 to $10K MRR | €19/mo (Starter) or €49/mo (Pro) | Free (Launch) |
| $10K to $50K MRR | €49/mo (Pro) | $129/mo (Scale) |
| $50K to $200K MRR | €49/mo (Pro) | $329/mo (Volume) |
| $200K+ MRR | €49/mo (Pro) | $1099+/mo (custom) |
ChartMogul's free tier is real and competitive under $10K MRR. Above that, Sheetrev's flat €49/mo Pro stays the same while ChartMogul ramps fast. By the time you hit $200K MRR you are paying ChartMogul more than Sheetrev's annual cost every month.
Choose Sheetrev if…
You should pick Sheetrev when
- You already live in Google Sheets for finance and forecasting
- You want to write QUERY/VLOOKUP/PIVOT on top of MRR data
- Stripe is your only payment processor
- You crossed ChartMogul's free MRR ceiling and the new bill stings
- You care about data sovereignty (your Stripe key, your Google account)
- You want flat-rate pricing that does not scale with your MRR
Stick with ChartMogul when
- You bill customers across multiple gateways (Stripe + Recurly + etc.)
- You are still under $10K MRR and free is hard to beat
- Your finance team needs deep segmentation without writing pivots
- You want hourly sync (Sheetrev syncs daily at 3am)
- You need their API for piping numbers into other tools
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I migrate from ChartMogul to Sheetrev?
There is nothing to migrate. Sheetrev reads directly from Stripe, not from ChartMogul. Install Sheetrev, paste a Stripe key, and your full history rebuilds in 30 seconds. The two run side by side cleanly because both are read-only.
Why is Sheetrev cheaper than ChartMogul's paid tier?
We are not a hosted database. The compute runs inside your Google account, so we do not pay for storage, query infrastructure, or your data egress. Pricing reflects that.
Does Sheetrev's MRR match ChartMogul's exactly?
Usually within a few percent. The two tools categorise expansion, contraction, and reactivation slightly differently. Sheetrev's MRR formula is visible inside the Sheet, so you can see exactly how each cell is computed. ChartMogul's logic is documented but not directly editable.
What about non-Stripe billing?
Sheetrev is Stripe-only for now. If you bill on Recurly, Braintree, Chargebee or Paddle alongside Stripe, ChartMogul is the better fit until we add those gateways.
