What Can MX Metrics Do for You?
We built this because WHMCS does not show MRR. Now we see our numbers every time we log in.
Know Your True Profit
Stop guessing. See your real profit after all costs: infrastructure, licenses, marketing, and operations. Make decisions based on facts, not assumptions.
Identify VIP Clients Instantly
Your top 20% of clients generate 80% of revenue. Know exactly who they are. Prioritize support, offer upgrades, and never let them churn.
Track MRR & ARR in Real-Time
Watch your recurring revenue grow. Monthly and annual views show you trends, seasonal patterns, and growth trajectory at a glance.
100% Private & Self-Hosted
Your data never leaves your server. Unlike cloud analytics tools, MX Metrics runs entirely within WHMCS. No external APIs, no data transmission, no third-party access.
Spot High-Maintenance Clients
Some clients cost more in support than they pay. The High Support Clients widget shows who generates the most tickets, so you can price accordingly.
Per-Service Cost Tracking
Set costs at product level or override per-service. Perfect for resellers who negotiate different rates with suppliers.

Frequently Asked Questions
- I only have 20 clients. Is MX Metrics for me?
- Probably not yet. MX Metrics shines when you have 50+ active services and need to track profitability across multiple clients and products. Under 50 services, a spreadsheet might work fine. We'd rather you come back when you've grown than pay for something you don't need yet.
- Can I get a lifetime license instead of monthly?
- No. MX Metrics is subscription-only at $15/month. We actively develop new features, maintain WHMCS compatibility, and provide ongoing support. If you're looking for pay-once software, this isn't the right fit for you.
- What metrics does MX Metrics show?
- MX Metrics provides 4 dashboard widgets: Revenue & Profit (MRR, ARR, costs, net profit), Top Clients by Revenue, MRR Breakdown by product, and High Support Clients analysis. It also includes a Costs Administration panel for managing recurring business expenses.
- Where do the metrics appear?
- All widgets display directly on your WHMCS admin homepage dashboard. Client-specific metrics also appear on individual client profile pages for quick reference.
- Can I track my business costs?
- Yes! The Costs Administration feature lets you input and categorize your recurring business expenses (hosting, licenses, infrastructure). These are automatically deducted from revenue to show your true net profit.
- Will it slow down my WHMCS?
- No. MX Metrics uses optimized database queries and smart caching to ensure minimal performance impact. Metrics are calculated efficiently on demand.
- What WHMCS versions are supported?
- MX Metrics supports WHMCS 8.0 and newer. We recommend using the latest stable version (8.8+) for optimal compatibility.
- Is my data secure? Does it leave my server?
- Your data never leaves your server. Unlike cloud-based analytics tools that require you to sync billing data to external servers, MX Metrics runs entirely within your WHMCS installation. All calculations happen locally using your existing database. No external API calls, no data transmission, no third-party access. Your client and revenue data stays 100% private.
