Side by side
Skio bills the subscriptions. Polar tells you if they're healthy.
Skio 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.
