Baremetrics lists self-reported dashboards, not audited ones

The workload

Reading Baremetrics's Open Startups page for what it actually documents, rather than what it implies, is itself the task. Verified: the current Open Startups page, retrieved 16 September 2026, lists companies under the description that "these wonderful companies are embracing transparency and openness by sharing their metrics with everyone." That single sentence is the page's own stated explanation of how a company's figures get there: a company chooses to share its connected Baremetrics dashboard publicly. The page does not describe a submission review process, a verification step, or an audit before a company's numbers go live.

What the documents show

Verified: the page names the initiative "The Open Project" and separately lists a "Benchmarks" product, described elsewhere on the same domain as letting a business see how it compares to others, a different, aggregated feature from the individual Open Startups listings this entry is about. Self-reported: every revenue figure that appears next to a listed company on the Open Startups page is that company's own live, connected subscription data, shared by the company's own choice, per the page's own framing. The page contains no disclaimer language stating that Baremetrics independently checks or audits any listed figure before or after publication, and no such statement was found on the page as retrieved. That absence is itself worth recording: a reader should not infer verification that the page does not claim.

The operating cost

The page states no cost to being listed, and Baremetrics's own product pages describe the underlying subscription-analytics tool as a paid product with a free trial, meaning a company must already be a Baremetrics customer with a connected data source to appear. No fee schedule for the Open Startups listing itself is stated anywhere in the cited pages.

The stop condition

Editorial: no stop condition is stated. A company's listing presumably persists as long as it keeps its Baremetrics connection live and opts to keep sharing; the page gives no removal process or renewal requirement to point to.

• Does the specific company being cited from this page still show a live, connected figure, or a stale one from an earlier date?
• Has Baremetrics published, anywhere else, a methodology or verification statement not present on this specific page?
• Is the number being quoted from Open Startups or from the separate, aggregated Benchmarks product?

A number pulled from Open Startups is a self-reported figure from a live dashboard a company chose to make public, carried through this entry with that label intact. It is a useful transparency gesture, and it is not, on the page's own terms, an audited one.
