Churn

Churn is the percentage of subscribers or repeat customers lost in a given period. For subscription stores it is the number that decides the business: high churn means marketing refills a leaking bucket. Retention tooling attacks it with pause-instead-of-cancel options, dunning for failed payments, and win-back flows. Small monthly churn differences compound dramatically over a year.
