What is CRMlytics?
Every WooCommerce store has the data to know its customers. Most just never get around to using it. CRMlytics reads your existing orders and builds predictions from that history. All on your server, no cloud sync, no monthly bill.
The plugin scores three things worth caring about:
- Churn risk. Every customer gets a health score from 0 to 100. You can see at a glance who's getting quieter and who might disappear next.
- Next-order timing. The plugin estimates how many orders each customer will place over the coming 30, 90, and 180 days. So you're not guessing when to reach out.
- Customer value. RFM sorting automatically groups people into Champions, loyal regulars, slipping accounts, and lost customers. No manual segments to build first.
Scores populate within minutes of activation because it works with the history you already have. If WooCommerce has the order, CRMlytics can read it.
What it does well
- Flags customers before they leave, not after.
- Tells you where to spend marketing money instead of blasting everyone.
- Lives inside WordPress. No switching tabs or logging into yet another tool.
- Runs locally. Your order data stays on your host.
- Completely free. No trial period, no contact limits, no feature locks.
Who it's for
This is for WooCommerce store owners who already have orders and want to make better decisions with them. Specifically:
- Store owners tired of paying CRMs per contact per month
- Operators who need a clear picture of who to retain and who to nurture
- WordPress-native shops that prefer tools running on their own infrastructure
- Anyone comparing Klaviyo, Metrilo, or Metorik who doesn't want to commit to a paid plan
Why it exists
Most WooCommerce CRMs focus on outreach: email sequences, automation flows, cart recovery. They help you send messages but don't answer the harder question. Who should you send to, and when?
CRMlytics is built for insight, not broadcast. It uses proven statistical models (BG/NBD for repeat-purchase forecasting) to study your actual order history and surface the customers who matter most. You can import those lists into whatever email tool you already use, or send directly from the plugin with your existing WordPress mail setup.

Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. It's on the WordPress plugin directory. No subscription, no hidden costs, and nothing leaves your server.
Will my customer data get sent anywhere?
No. Every prediction is built from your WooCommerce order history and calculated on your own server.
How fast does it work?
Install, activate, and scores appear within minutes if you already have order data.
What is RFM?
Recency, Frequency, and Monetary value. CRMlytics uses those three signals to sort customers into useful groups like Champions, Loyal, At Risk, and Lost.
How does the health score work?
0 to 100. For repeat buyers it reflects the probability they're still shopping, based on their personal buying pattern. Under 40 is critical. New customers who've placed one order start around 80 and fall if they never return.
Does it work with small stores?
No minimum order count. The plugin calculates from whatever you have. Better history means sharper predictions.
Does it play nice with FluentCRM or FunnelKit?
Yes. Use CRMlytics to figure out who to target, then feed those segments into your existing automation tool.
Will it slow down my site?
No. It runs silently in the background. Tested on stores with over 200,000 orders without touching storefront or checkout speed.

I think people like it because it's reliable and then if it's not reliable then I'll communicate with people pretty frequently as well as it's really easy to get a hold of me whereas a lot of developers who build these sort of things you don't even have their email or a way to contact them
Reliability and direct founder access build stickiness no competitor can match
In a commodity API market where scrapers break constantly, Adrian's retention edge isn't features — it's trust. He proactively communicates during outages and makes himself personally reachable, which developer customers deeply value because anonymous API providers give them no recourse when something breaks. This founder-as-support-channel dynamic is a durable retention moat a solo operator can maintain that a larger company would struggle to replicate authentically.
From my past startups I was always trying to make something unique, something that doesn't exist, and I always ended up building something that people don't really need. Here we intentionally got something that is a little bit tested. We said okay, this is a validated business model, we want just to make it much better and much simpler.
Copying a validated idea beats inventing something nobody needs
After 15 years of failed startups, Anton reversed his strategy: instead of chasing novel ideas, he found an existing market with clunky players and out-executed them on simplicity. This deliberate choice to compete on UX rather than concept differentiation was the turning point.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
