Getting started

Quickstart

Three steps, about two minutes: create an account, connect a provider, and run your first sync.

1. Create your account

Sign up with your email — no credit card required. The Free plan lets you connect one provider with six months of history, which is plenty to see your numbers for the first time.

2. Connect a provider

Right after sign-up, the onboarding wizard asks you to connect your first provider. You'll:

  • Pick the provider (Stripe, Creem, Polar, Lemon Squeezy, RevenueCat or Gumroad).
  • Choose the Mode — Live for real data, Test/Sandbox for test data.
  • Paste your API key. The panel next to the form shows exactly where to find it.
  • Optionally add a label (handy if you'll connect several accounts).

Metricneed validates the key live against the provider before saving it, and stores it encrypted (AES-256-GCM). Keys are only ever used server-side. See the provider connection guides for step-by-step instructions per provider.

3. Run your first sync

The final onboarding step imports your data — products, customers, subscriptions and transactions — and shows a summary of everything it pulled in. Then you land on your dashboard.

What you'll see

  • MRR with the number of active subscriptions.
  • Sales over the last 30 days, with the trend versus the prior period.
  • Active subscriptions and customers, with new additions.
  • Revenue by product and by provider.
