The Problem

One Blended Number Hides Three Different Problems

Your store, subscription app, and gateway each hold part of the answer. Until they're combined, one cancel rate can't show you what to fix first.

  1. 01 · Mixed signals

    Your app, gateway, and inbox each tell a different story.

    Orders, renewals, payment failures, and cancel reasons get matched to each subscriber.

  2. 02 · Declined cards

    A spike in declined renewals hides inside your cancel count.

    Failed payments get split from real cancellations, so each gets the right fix.

  3. 03 · Guesswork

    The team guesses with a discount here and an email there.

    Cancel reasons get broken down by product and signup month.

  4. 04 · Flat numbers

    Months later, the number hasn't moved, and nobody knows why.

    A report or dashboard keeps answering what to fix first.

Your subscription app says cancellations went up last month. Your payment gateway shows a spike in declined renewals. Your inbox fills with people saying the product arrives too often. Each tool tells a different story, and nobody can say which one matters most. So the team guesses: a discount here, a new email there. Three months later, the number hasn't moved, and you still don't know why.

We start by putting the data in one place. Store orders, subscription events, payment failures, and cancel reasons get matched to each subscriber. Then we split failed payments from real cancellations and break the rest down by reason, product, and signup month. You get a clear answer on what to fix first, and a report or dashboard that keeps answering it.

  • One subscriber, one record

    Orders, renewals, payment failures, and cancel reasons matched to the same customer across tools.

  • Failed payments split out

    Declined renewals separated from real cancellations, so each problem gets the right fix.

  • Cohorts instead of averages

    Signup months, products, and channels compared side by side over time, not blended.

Our Analysis Process

From Raw Exports to Answers You Can Act On in Five Steps

You see which data we use and how each metric is defined before any chart gets built. Nothing hides in a spreadsheet only we can read.

  1. We look at what your store, subscription app, and payment gateway can export. You get a short list of the questions your data can answer today, and what's missing or messy.

What's Included

What You Get Beyond a Churn Rate Analysis

Clean, matched data, chosen and failed cancellations split apart, and breakdowns your team can act on, as a report, a dashboard, or both.

  • Matched subscriber data

    Store, subscription app, and payment gateway records joined per subscriber, with test orders and duplicates removed.

  • Voluntary and involuntary split

    Real cancellations separated from failed renewals, so price problems and card problems never share a number.

  • Reason, product, and cohort views

    Cancellations broken down by stated reason, product or plan, and signup month, side by side.

  • Retention curves by cohort

    Curves showing how each signup month holds up over time, so you spot when subscribers drop off.

  • Dashboard or written report

    A live dashboard with a daily refresh, or a written report with charts, whichever your team will use.

  • Findings sent to your tools

    Segments and tags sent to Klaviyo or your subscription app, so save offers and retries use the findings.

DeveloperLook vs App Analytics vs a Spreadsheet

Your subscription app's analytics are free, and a spreadsheet costs only time. Both suit some stores. Here's where each stops answering why subscribers leave.

What Our Clients Say

What Clients Say After Launch

Feedback from store teams we have built for.

We had a different kind of problem. People were visiting the store, adding products to their carts, and then disappearing before they finished the order. We had tried a few apps and made changes here and there, but nothing really seemed to solve the bigger issue. The team went through the shopping experience with us and pointed out things we hadn't really noticed ourselves. They cleaned up the cart and checkout flow, made the mobile experience much smoother, and helped us make the store feel easier to shop. I’m not going to pretend we fixed everything overnight, but it finally feels like the store is helping the sale instead of getting in the way of it.

Work Culture

Why Subscription Brands Trust Us With Their Data

Retention numbers only help when everyone trusts them. These habits keep your data clean, your definitions clear, and your findings honest.

  • Definitions agreed first

    We define cancellation, failed payment, and active subscriber with you before any chart. Every number on the page then means the same thing to everyone.

  • Test orders removed

    We strip test orders, staff purchases, and duplicate accounts before counting anything. Otherwise the numbers you see aren't the numbers you have.

  • Findings ranked by impact

    We rank what we find by how many subscribers it affects and how easy it is to fix. You get a short list, not a pile of charts.

  • Data that feeds your fixes

    Findings don't stay in a slide deck. We push segments to Klaviyo and your subscription app, so offers and retries use what we learned.

  • Honest about your data

    If your data can't answer a question yet, we'll tell you before we quote. We'd rather fix the tracking than sell you a guess.

  • You own the dashboards

    Dashboards, queries, and exports live in your own accounts. Your team can change a chart or add a metric without asking us.

Good fit

  • Stores with one blended cancel rate

    You know your overall cancel rate, but you can't tell whether price, product fit, or failed cards drive it.

  • Brands planning retention fixes

    You're about to spend on save offers or a new app, and you want data showing which problem is biggest.

  • Teams with data spread across tools

    Your store, subscription app, gateway, helpdesk, and email tool each show part of the picture, and nothing ties them together.

  • Founders who want plain answers

    You want a churn rate analysis that explains the why in plain language, not another dashboard nobody opens.

  • Agencies reporting to clients

    Your agency runs client churn analysis for several subscription brands and needs matched data and reports under your brand.

Not a fit

  • Reasons already known

    You already know why subscribers leave and need the fix built. Subscription Churn Reduction builds the cancel flow and offers.

  • Whole-store reporting

    You need reporting across your whole store, not just subscriptions. Ecommerce Reporting Software covers sales, margin, and channels.

  • Program only weeks old

    Your subscription program is weeks old with little history. Ecommerce Subscription Platform Development comes first, and analysis can wait.

  • Under a hundred subscribers

    You have fewer than a hundred subscribers. Your app's analytics show the same patterns, so a $600 report is more than you need.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on what the analysis covers, the data you need, costs, and dashboards.

  • Churn reporting starts at $600 for a one-time findings report on up to 12 months of data. A live dashboard with a daily refresh costs $1,900, and a full reporting system across several stores or apps starts at $3,900. Tool fees are separate, and your quote is fixed.

  • A findings report takes 1 to 2 weeks, most of it spent cleaning and matching data. A live dashboard takes 2 to 4 weeks, and a reporting system across several sources takes 4 to 6 weeks. Messy exports can add a few days, and we flag that early.

  • Customer churn analysis shows which customers leave, when, and why, so you fix the biggest cause first. Stores use it to choose between save offers, better retries, product changes, or pricing, and to check whether a fix worked. Without it, retention work turns into guessing.

  • Start by exporting 12 months of orders, subscription events, payment failures, and cancel reasons. Match them to each subscriber, remove test orders, and split failed payments from real cancellations. Then compare cancellations by reason, product, and signup month, and rank findings by how many subscribers each affects.

  • You need subscription events, orders, payment failures, and cancel reasons, ideally for 12 months. Most of it comes from exports in Recharge, Skio, WooCommerce Subscriptions, or Stripe, plus your store and gateway. Helpdesk tags and email data add context, and the free review shows what your data can answer.

  • Tag every lost subscriber by how the subscription ended: a cancel request is voluntary, while a subscription ended by failed payments is involuntary. Your gateway and app logs show which is which. We keep both as separate lines in every chart, because they need different fixes.

  • Group every cancellation by its stated reason, the product or plan it held, and the month the subscriber joined. Then compare each group's cancel rate side by side. We group free-text reasons into themes and chart retention curves by signup month, so patterns show at a glance.

  • Yes, in Looker Studio, Power BI, or Google Sheets, refreshed daily from your store, subscription app, and payment gateway. It shows the voluntary and involuntary split, reasons, products, and cohort curves. We add alerts when cancellations jump, and your team can edit every chart without us.

  • We turn findings into segments your tools can act on. Overstocked subscribers get tagged for skip offers, price-sensitive ones for a downgrade, and cards about to expire for early reminders. Those segments flow to Klaviyo or your subscription app, so offers and retries follow the data.

  • Yes. Dashboards, queries, and data connections live in your own accounts, documented so your team can edit them. You also get 30 to 90 days of post-launch support by plan, and we answer questions about the numbers during that time. Nothing is locked inside our tools.
