Try hooking Stripe up to any third party analytics dashboard. You won't get an accurate MRR.
It really sucks if you want to have Stripe metrics in front of your team.
That’s one of the options, yes. Chartmogul does an amazing job at ingesting and retrieving revenue data from stripe

can't you just design your database so as to be able to do that independently ?
You’ve got plenty of paid options with Stripe, but here’s the catch: trying to match what you see in the Stripe dashboard with exact cent accuracy using queries is a total headache. in addition, it would be simpler to add an option to pull that data via an API call.
If you have a single type of pricing(eg, variable, or tiered) its very easy rolling your own.
The issues happen when you change from variable to tiered(or vice versa), change from anniversary to calendary dates, add coupons, per user custom pricing, credits, etc etc.
I don't recommend building your own if you aren't familiar with Stripe or any other billing system. Once you understand how billing works, feel free to make a custom billing solution.
