Subscription Retention

Subscription retention covers everything that keeps a recurring customer paying: flexible skip/pause options, failed-payment recovery (dunning), plan swaps, and win-back offers. Subscription apps live or die on this tooling, because acquiring a subscriber only pays off across many renewals. Retention metrics — churn, renewal rate, subscriber LTV — are the category’s real scoreboard.
