True MCA burden
MetrikData groups debits by funder identity and reports each active MCA position separately, so you see the stack — not just a list of categorized debits.

Why the difference matters
Built for one job, not every document
Cadence-based position typing
Financing inflows are removed from the revenue base, so burden isn’t distorted by advances landing as ‘deposits.’
Self-serve, single PDF
A monthly payer is typed as debt service, a daily/weekly payer as an MCA position — the distinction that decides whether it’s stacking.
Data, not a decision
Metrics and signals are laid out for an underwriter to interpret, with the source transactions behind each figure.
The honest take
MoneyThumb is stronger for raw conversion and forensics
MoneyThumb has a long track record converting a wide range of PDF and financial-file formats into clean transaction data, with well-regarded document-forensics and tampering detection. If your core need is turning messy statements into structured data across many file types, or deep forensic fraud analysis, that’s their strength. MetrikData assumes you have the transactions and focuses on what they mean for an MCA decision — positions, cadence, and burden.
For the MetrikData side of that trade-off, see the MCA underwriting software overview — or brush up on the terminology in the MCA glossary.
FAQ
Common questions
How is MetrikData different from MoneyThumb?
MoneyThumb specializes in converting statements to data and forensic fraud checks. MetrikData specializes in MCA interpretation — typing funder positions by cadence and computing burden against true revenue.
Does MoneyThumb detect MCA stacking?
It surfaces transactions and can flag lender-like activity, but position-level stacking detection with cadence typing and burden calculation is MetrikData’s specific focus.
Which is better for a small MCA broker?
If you mainly need a fast MCA read on a merchant’s statement without a data-engineering step, MetrikData’s self-serve, MCA-specific output is designed for that use case.
