Beta Test Stripe Subscription Calendar, Customer Management & Metrics App
Hey Indie Hackers,
2 weeks ago I announced the launch of ProfitKit, a Stripe data visualization and customer management app here: https://www.indiehackers.com/forum/launching-a-new-bootstrapped-stripe-manager-profitkit-616f185605
Our features include a calendar view of subscription payments, metrics related to MRR and customer purchase times (by hour of day & day of week + month), and a mobile-friendly table to view and edit your customer subscriptions.
We heard your feedback and made a number of changes to improve our site's load time as well as several in-app convenience features to our calendar, metrics and customer table. Whether you've visited our site before or are hearing about us for the first time, I'd encourage you to check us out again!
We're currently in beta and looking for users to provide feedback on both our existing feature set and potential features you'd like to see. Anyone who signs up during this period will receive a 50% discount in price for 6 months after our launch.
Sign up for free at https://www.profitkit.io!
Great! saas product, I signed up. I love the calender view
Thanks for signing up and I'm glad you like it! I sent you an email but if you have any questions or feedback don't hesitate to reach out
Cool and simple
Hey Matthew,
Congrats on launching ProfitKit! It's much more polished than I was expecting for a new product!
Initial Thoughts:
Love the calendar view
Design is clean & simple, but sidebar is huge
'Total Current MRR' is wrong. It's a bit more than our actual MRR...?
Having a read-only Stripe integration would be more reassuring. I don't want PK to set up any billing or create new customer, so having a read-only option would be nice.
MRR By Plan - Is this supposed to be a pie chart? There are just a bunch of different color tags and 'null' (https://ibb.co/VNVXrRx)
Would be nice to add other team members (RBA would be nice, but not necessary for now)
We've fixed the MRR By Plan chart by the way, so you should be able to see the pie chart now
Wow, awesome! Thanks for the quick turn around!
I hate to be needy, but let me know when you add the read-only scope for Stripe. For compliance reasons, we don't really want that permission wide open.
Just emailed you about this, but it's done! You can now choose whether to provide read only or read-write access when connecting your Stripe account.
I love it! Thanks Matt
Definitely, I'll get on it soon and let you know! And no worries, I totally understand the preference for read-only access
Also, I think there a lot of ways to expand on this product to increase revenue streams or at least likelihood to buy. If you're interested, drop me an email and let's jam on this (rborn[at] cloudcampaign [dot] io)
Awesome, I'd definitely be interested. I just sent you an email!
Thanks, I appreciate it! Let me know when it's ready if you don't mind.
Will do, we're working on it now and should have it ready soon!
Hey Ryan,
Thanks for the feedback!
Good idea on the read-only Stripe integration - we have read-write access now because users can change customer subscriptions in our customer's table but we might make that an optional feature or add-on going forwards. It seems like the calendar is our most popular feature anyways.
For the MRR By Plan chart, what's happening is you have a large number of subscription plans - enough to make the legend obscure the pie chart. I'll add a fix for that soon.
Regarding the 'Total Current MRR' stat, we've tested on other accounts and it's seemed accurate so far. Can I ask how you typically calculate MRR or where you're getting your numbers from? We calculate your MRR by taking all your active subscriptions and tallying up the monthly amount, but it's definitely possible for us to have overlooked something.
Side Q: what library are you using for the calendar? I really like the option of having the 'agenda' tab
We're using React on the frontend and this library for the calendar: https://github.com/intljusticemission/react-big-calendar
Right on, thanks! I saw rbc in the dom, but wasn't sure what it stood for 👍
No problem at all - thanks for all the tips and if you have any other questions or feedback, don't hesitate to shoot me an email! You can reach me at matthewchan2147@gmail.com :)
For our MRR, we're tallying up all active subscriptions including trials that convert that month minus any refunds.
The number we manually calculate is consistent with what we see on Stripe in the Billings tab and on mrr.io
Ah, gotcha. We're not handling the refunds yet for current MRR so I'm guessing that's why the numbers are off. I'll update our calculations to do that soon!
