This plugin is inspired by (and basically a total copy of) <a href="https://baremetrics.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Baremetrics</a>. I would have just used Baremetrics instead of building a new plugin, except that Baremetrics is very specific to SaaS businesses, and doesn’t really work for EDD.

EDD Metrics

This is how you do plugins, single feature that is simple to use and understand. Even if you don't understand the need for metrics you can find this plugin useful. 

Simple UI Done Right

Makes it easy to keep tabs on all the critical numbers needed for running my plugin business: units sold, amount sold, refunds, renewals, etc. All configurable to any date range you want to look at. Compare easily to past periods. Beautiful UI. Well done!

Valuable data now at your fingertips

Awesome Plugin!

Good basic metrics that every business should have. Easy to use.

Simple and Clean

Nicely designed, does what it says it does. Thank you!

Awesome

Good job, it's really nice. Something is missing for me though so I will open a support thread :)

Better than EDD Reports

I just isntalled this for the 2nd time, forgot how good this plugin is. A+, 5 Starts!

Super Useful Plugin! 5 Stars! Thanks Scott!

EDD Metrics is a perfect companion for EDD. The dashboard view gives a super quick overview of how things are going. And how it ties in with the subscriptions to show recurring revenue is extremely helpful!

Excellent for forecasting

Thanks for the plugin, it works great and it's very useful.

Excellent!

Thanks for creating this plugin for free! I enjoy it every day :)

Makes EDD even better!

Better reports for Easy Digital Downloads, similar to Baremetrics.
