How ChartMogul and illumi Compare in Practice
ChartMogul is a mature platform built for multi-source revenue analytics. It supports Stripe, Braintree, Recurly, and other billing providers through API integrations and CSV imports. If you run multiple payment processors, that flexibility matters. For Stripe-only businesses, however, much of ChartMogul's complexity goes unused.
illumi is purpose-built for Stripe. There is no data-source mapping to configure, no webhooks to set up, and no import queue to monitor. You authorize via OAuth, and your MRR, churn, LTV, cohorts, and forecasting data appear within seconds. The trade-off is straightforward: less configurability, faster time-to-insight.
On the pricing side, ChartMogul's Launch plan starts at $99/mo and scales based on MRR. illumi uses flat pricing that stays the same whether you're at $5k MRR or $500k MRR, making it easier to budget for analytics as a fixed operating expense.
Who is illumi Best For?
- •Stripe-only SaaS companies that don't need multi-provider data merging and want analytics running in seconds, not hours of configuration.
- •Founders who want forecasting without enterprise pricing—revenue projections, CMGR calculations, and industry benchmarks are included in every illumi plan.
- •Small teams sharing metrics with investors or advisors who need shareable report links without adding users to the billing platform or granting Stripe access.
