Growth Goals & Challenges

Set a growth goal - an MRR target, a subscriber target, or both - and Chartsy tracks live progress toward it using your connected Stripe or Paddle data. Instead of a static number in a spreadsheet you update once a month (if that), the goal updates in real time as new revenue and subscribers come in.

A goal you check once a quarter barely functions as a goal at all - by the time you notice you're behind, there's little runway left to course-correct. A goal you can check in seconds, any day, is one you can actually steer toward.

Challenges layer a gamified structure on top of goal tracking, built for founders who find a bare number less motivating than visible progress with some structure around it. Rather than a single static target sitting in the background, Challenges frame growth as a series of milestones to hit, which tends to keep momentum higher over a multi-month push than a single distant number does.

This matters most for solo founders and small teams without a manager checking in on quarterly targets - the accountability has to come from the tool itself, or from a community you're sharing progress with.

If checking progress requires opening a spreadsheet, exporting Stripe data, and doing manual math, most founders simply stop checking - not because the goal stopped mattering, but because the friction of checking became higher than the perceived value. Distant goals lose their pull over time, too: "$10k MRR by December" feels motivating in January and abstract by August. Breaking a large goal into smaller, checkable milestones keeps the target close enough to feel real week to week, rather than becoming a number you've mentally filed away as "eventually."
