Tutor LMS Paid Memberships stores each subscription as a custom post with plan postmeta (plan_id, price, billing_period) and writes every payment into the tutor_earnings table. Cancellations and refunds land in tutor_withdraws. The data is correct and complete. What is missing is the visual: active members, plan mix, monthly recurring revenue, daily new sign-ups, and churn are not default visuals on any Tutor screen.

A subscription business runs on those numbers. MRR drift, plan mix shifting from monthly to annual, churn picking up after a price change, member growth flattening after a campaign ends: each one is a question the team has to answer every month, and each one currently requires exporting the membership table to a spreadsheet and pivoting it by hand. The data is in WordPress. The friction is the missing visualisation.

SleekView Charts reads the membership post type, the plan postmeta and the tutor_earnings rows directly. A Number card counts active members. A Pie splits revenue across monthly and annual plans. A Bar ranks plans by member count. An Area trends new sign-ups against cancellations from tutor_withdraws. The whole subscription picture lives on one screen, refreshes against live data, and replaces the monthly export ritual with a dashboard URL.

Tutor LMS Paid Memberships gives a course site a subscription business. That business runs on a handful of numbers: active members, MRR, plan mix and churn rate. The data for all four is already in WordPress, split across the membership post type, the tutor_earnings table and the tutor_withdraws cancellation log.

The friction is that none of those numbers is rendered as a chart anywhere by default, so a monthly review involves exporting the membership table, joining it to earnings by hand and pivoting in a spreadsheet. Putting the same data on a Number, Pie, Bar and Area card collapses the spreadsheet ritual into a dashboard URL. The numbers do not change, the time to see them does, and a churn spike that used to surface a quarter late now surfaces on the area card the day after it starts.

That is the difference between running a subscription business reactively and running one on numbers.
