SaaSMon vs Stripe Dashboard and Sigma
If you bill through Stripe, the Stripe Dashboard already shows payments, payouts and, with Stripe Billing, subscription figures. Stripe Sigma lets you query your Stripe data with SQL. Both are excellent for what passes through Stripe. SaaSMon is for everything around it: costs, budgets, other revenue sources and runway.

Where they differ
Only what passes through Stripe
The Stripe Dashboard is accurate and immediate for Stripe payments. It does not know about your hosting bill, the product you sell through Lemon Squeezy, or the cash in your bank. SaaSMon is where those come together.
Several Stripe accounts
Founders with several products often have several Stripe accounts, and switching between them to add things up gets old. SaaSMon's portfolio overview shows every project together, whatever it bills through.
No Stripe sync yet
SaaSMon does not connect to Stripe directly today. You can export payments from Stripe as CSV and import them (Pro), enter monthly totals by hand, or set recurring rules for stable revenue.
Choose SaaSMon if
- One view across products, whichever processor each one uses.
- Expenses, budgets and burn next to revenue.
- Runway estimate from recurring rules and recent months.
- No SQL needed for MRR, ARR, margin and churn reports.
Choose Stripe Dashboard and Sigma if
- All your revenue goes through one Stripe account and that is the only number you need.
- You want transaction-level detail on payments, disputes and payouts.
- You are comfortable writing SQL for custom reports (Sigma).
Using both
Stripe stays your source of truth for payments. Once a month, export or total each product's Stripe revenue into SaaSMon, and let SaaSMon handle costs, budgets and runway.
