Involuntary churn

Payment failures often drive a big share of churn.

At your current settings, about 4.2 subscribers per month may be lost to failed payments rather than bad fit.

How churn destroys revenue

Churn compounds. Even a single-digit monthly churn rate can remove a large share of your base over a year if new subscriptions do not keep up.

That is why the churn calculator looks beyond this month. It shows the annual effect, the LTV impact, and the benchmark gap for your box type.

Practical retention moves

  • Improve first-box quality and first-month onboarding.
  • Offer pause and skip options before cancellation.
  • Use dunning to recover payment failures.
  • Test pre-renewal emails and win-back campaigns.
