The Best Lifetimely Alternative If You Don't Use Shopify

Lifetimely is Shopify-only. If you sell info products, courses, coaching, or SaaS through Stripe—via platforms like Kajabi, Teachable, or GoHighLevel—Lifetimely won't work for you. You need something that connects to Stripe directly and shows you daily profit without requiring a Shopify store. The best alternative: a tool that aligns cash in (Stripe payouts) and cash out (ad spend, refunds, fees) by calendar day so you know if yesterday was profitable.

Why Lifetimely doesn't work outside Shopify

Lifetimely is a Shopify app. It lives inside the Shopify ecosystem, pulls data from Shopify's API, and builds its analytics around Shopify orders, products, and customers. That's great if you run a Shopify store—but it means:

• No Stripe-direct connection: If your revenue comes through Stripe (not via Shopify), Lifetimely can't see it.
• No support for course platforms: Kajabi, Teachable, Thinkific, GoHighLevel—none of these are Shopify. Lifetimely can't pull their data.
• No SaaS or info product support: If you sell digital products, memberships, or services through Stripe, you're out of luck.

If you've been searching for Lifetimely and realized it's Shopify-only, you're not alone. A large share of online sellers—especially in info products, coaching, and courses—don't use Shopify at all. They use Stripe as their payment processor, either directly or through a course/funnel platform.

What to look for in a Lifetimely alternative

The reason you were looking at Lifetimely in the first place: you want to see daily profit. You want to know if your ads are working, if yesterday was green or red, and how your cash is actually moving. For that, any alternative needs:

1. Stripe connection: Read-only access to your Stripe account to see charges, refunds, payouts, and fees—by the day money actually moved.
2. Ad platform connection: Meta Ads (and ideally TikTok, Google) to pull daily ad spend.
3. Cash-day alignment: Revenue and spend aligned by the same calendar day. Not revenue by transaction date vs spend by campaign date—actual cash in and cash out for the same day.
4. No Shopify dependency: Works with any business that processes payments through Stripe.

NetDay: built for Stripe sellers, not Shopify stores

NetDay connects to Stripe and Meta Ads with read-only access. It aligns cash in (what actually hit your bank) and cash out (ad spend, refunds, chargebacks, fees) by calendar day. You get one number per day: your daily net.

Feature	Lifetimely	NetDay
Shopify required	Yes	No
Stripe direct	No	Yes
Meta Ads integration	No	Yes
Daily cash P&L	Revenue-based	Cash-day aligned
Course platforms	Not supported	Any that use Stripe
Read-only connections	N/A	Yes

NetDay doesn't try to be Lifetimely. It doesn't do cohort analysis, LTV projections, or Shopify-specific product analytics. It does one thing: shows you if yesterday was profitable by aligning real cash movements. For most non-Shopify sellers running paid traffic, that's the number they actually need.

Who this is for

• Course creators on Kajabi, Teachable, or Thinkific who run Meta Ads and want daily profit visibility. See how to track profit for online course creators.
• Info product sellers running funnels through ClickFunnels, GoHighLevel, or custom Stripe checkouts.
• Coaches and service providers who process payments through Stripe and run paid traffic.
• SaaS founders who want daily cash-day P&L without building spreadsheets.

If Stripe is your payment processor and you run ads, NetDay is the Lifetimely alternative you're looking for.

Common questions

Does Lifetimely work without Shopify?

No. Lifetimely is built exclusively for Shopify stores. It pulls data from Shopify's API and has no way to connect to Stripe directly, Kajabi, Teachable, GoHighLevel, or other non-Shopify platforms.

What can I use instead of Lifetimely if I don't use Shopify?

NetDay works for any business that sells through Stripe. It connects to Stripe and Meta Ads (read-only), aligns cash in and cash out by calendar day, and shows your daily net—no Shopify required.

Can I track daily profit for info products and courses without Shopify?

Yes. If your payments go through Stripe (as they do with Kajabi, Teachable, GoHighLevel, and most course platforms), NetDay can track your daily profit by aligning real cash movements with ad spend.
