Revenue analytics and a customer portal on your own Stripe data.
Freelancers expense a dozen subscriptions — proposals, contracts, invoices, time tracking — against irregular income. Owning the tools outright removes a whole line of fixed costs.
The tool this job usually means renting is ChartMogul / Baremetrics, at $50-100+/mo — roughly $600 a year, every year. Clientdesk does the job for a one-time $39 — running on infrastructure you control.
MRR with trials excluded and yearly plans normalized, plus ARR, 30-day churn, LTV, ARPU and cash collected, with daily snapshots building trend history.
For freelancers, revenue dashboard pays off between gigs, against irregular income — and it's covered by the same one-time $39, not metered per month.
Point /webhooks/stripe at your account and customers, subscriptions and invoices cache locally, with optional signature verification and no Stripe SDK or API polling.
For freelancers, stripe webhook ingestion pays off between gigs, against irregular income — and it's covered by the same one-time $39, not metered per month.
Per-customer tokenized portal links show plan, status, invoice history and usage bars, with strict isolation so a token only ever sees its own data.

One payment of $39 gets the packaged Windows installer, or clone the MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/customer-portal-billing-mvp and run it yourself for free.
Docker-compose onto a $5 VPS to serve portals publicly, or run the desktop build locally.
Add a webhook endpoint for the customer, subscription and invoice events, paste in the signing secret, and your metrics start building.
Clientdesk is $39, once. ChartMogul / Baremetrics at $50-100+/mo — roughly $600 a year, every year. One month of ChartMogul more than covers Clientdesk, which then reads your Stripe data for free forever.

Yes, Clientdesk is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/customer-portal-billing-mvp. The $39 buys the packaged Windows installer and 1-click setup; building from source is free.
