Creator Analytics Platform

Substack Analytics for Creators — 2026

Track Substack subscriber count, paid conversion rate, monthly recurring revenue, and churn risk alongside your other creator platforms. Free trial.

Substack gives you a direct line to your readers — but its native analytics barely scratch the surface of what you need to grow a sustainable newsletter business. You can see open rates and subscriber counts, but you can't see which content drives the most paid conversions, which subscribers are at risk of churning, or how your revenue trajectory compares to your growth rate. CreatorSenseAI connects to Substack via our browser extension and brings your newsletter business data into a unified creator dashboard. You get paid subscriber trends, monthly recurring revenue tracking, churn risk scoring, and revenue forecasting — all alongside your other platforms so you can see your full business in one place. For creators running Substack alongside YouTube, Patreon, or social channels, CreatorSenseAI shows which content on which platform drives the most Substack sign-ups.

Common Substack Creator Problems We Solve

No Tax Visibility

Substack does not withhold tax. TaxWise estimates your quarterly obligation automatically so you're never caught short at year-end.

Platform-Siloed Data

Substack's native dashboard doesn't show you trends over time, cross-platform comparisons, or revenue per audience member.

Platform Concentration Risk

If Substack's algorithm changes or your account is restricted, how much of your income disappears? ORACLE models your platform risk score.
