Zuora bills the subscriptions. Polar tells you if they're healthy.

Zuora handles the billing, but it reports subscription revenue in isolation, apart from your acquisition, one-time orders and margin. So whether recurring revenue is truly growing, net of churn, stays a guess. Polar answers it.

Zuora on its own

  • Subscription revenue reported apart from the business.
  • No blend with one-time orders, acquisition or margin.
  • Churn and LTV hard to read against cohorts.
  • Nothing reconciles into the P&L.

  • New vs recurring revenue and churn in Polar's analytics.
  • Blended with one-time orders, ad spend and margin.

Featured Use Case

Recurring revenue, in context.

Recurring revenue, in context

A subscription business can look great in the billing tool and still be leaking, because Zuora shows you charges, not the net picture: how much is genuinely new vs recurring, how fast subscribers churn, and whether their lifetime value justifies what you paid to acquire them. Polar ingests your subscription data with a custom connector and maps it into its subscription analytics, so new vs recurring sales, churn and cohort LTV all sit next to acquisition cost and margin. You can finally answer the only question that matters, is recurring revenue growing net of churn, and act before a quiet leak becomes a trend.

What makes it real

New vs recurring. Revenue split so you see genuine growth, not renewals dressed up as new.

Churn and LTV. Churn trends and subscriber LTV by cohort, next to acquisition cost.

Ask Polar, in plain language. “Is recurring revenue growing net of churn, and what's subscriber LTV vs one-time?” No SQL, no export.
