Do it yourself
Powsight
You remember to check. Insights depend on a routine you keep up.
You decide what to look at. Easy to miss what you didn't think to check.
You clean the exports. CSV files and spreadsheets before every look.
Formulas drift. Each sheet does the math a little differently.
What you tried lives in your head. Notes, if you keep them.
Total control. Any metric, any view. This is where doing it yourself wins.
Free, apart from your time. The hours add up, usually in the busy weeks.
It comes to you. No routine needed. Insights land in WhatsApp, Slack or Discord.
It picks what matters. Powsight points you to what deserves attention.
The data is ready. Connects to Stripe, RevenueCat, GA and PostHog directly.
Same numbers, every time. MRR, churn and retention are defined once and kept.
It remembers what you tried. And tells you what happened after.
Growth metrics, defined for you. Focused on revenue, traffic and product data.

Bottom line
Doing it yourself builds intuition. Powsight gives you the hours back.
Doing it yourself works and costs little, until the busy week: a drop goes unnoticed, the export needs cleaning, and what you tried lives in your head. Powsight keeps that loop running, so your time goes into what actually moves the business forward.
