MRR and Billings Reports
Follow the money — monthly recurring revenue, ARPU, and MRR composition on one report; payments, refunds, and net billings on the other.
Two reports cover the revenue side of the house: MRR for the recurring engine, and Billings for the cash movements of the period.
MRR#
"Recurring revenue, ARPU, and MRR composition over time."
Monthly recurring revenue normalises all your subscriptions to a monthly value so growth is comparable period to period. The stat row shows:
- Current MRR — the recurring revenue run-rate right now.
- ARPU — average revenue per user.
- MRR growth rate — how fast the engine is accelerating (or not).
- Active subscribers — the base generating it.
The MRR composition chart is the interesting one — it splits total MRR into:
| Slice | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Collected | Recurring revenue already paid. |
| In dunning | Revenue tied up in failed-payment recovery. |
| Expected | Billed and awaiting normal payment. |
| Discounts | What vouchers and discounts are costing you. |
Watch the In dunning slice. If it grows as a share of total MRR, collections are slipping even while headline MRR looks healthy — that revenue is at risk until recovered.
Billings#
"Payments, refunds, and net billings performance for the selected period."
Where MRR is the run-rate, Billings is the cash ledger of the period, broken into per-period rows:
- Payments — what came in.
- Refunds — what went back out.
- Net billings — the difference.
The stat row separates New subscriber payments from Renewing payments — useful for seeing whether growth or your existing base is carrying the period — plus the total Refunds amount.
