PayHelm alternative: ReportWise
ReportWise is a PayHelm alternative for merchants who sell through Shopify, PayPal or Stripe and need a clean monthly PDF report rather than a full analytics platform. It works from your CSV exports with no app install or account connections, and costs nothing for the first report, then from $5 for 5 reports.

PayHelm is a multichannel analytics platform: it combines Shopify, Amazon, eBay and Etsy sales with Stripe, PayPal and Braintree fees, shipping costs and ad spend to show real profit. That's powerful if you run ads across channels. If you just need a monthly summary of what came in through Shopify, PayPal or Stripe, it's more than you need.
