Expert strategies, case studies, and actionable tips to reduce churn and increase customer lifetime value.
Most SaaS companies obsess over acquisition and onboarding, then fumble the ending. But a clumsy cancellation experience doesn't just cost you a subscriber — it costs you future customers too. Here's how to turn offboarding into a strategic asset.
Your pricing page is your highest-stakes conversion moment. Most SaaS companies get it wrong. This playbook covers the psychology, structure, and copy decisions that separate pricing pages that convert from ones that just inform.
Most SaaS products lose the majority of trial users before they ever see the value. This playbook breaks down how to engineer an onboarding experience that gets users to their 'aha moment' fast - and keeps them coming back.
Stop guessing. Your highest ROI features are defined by your lost customers. Use a simple framework to weigh cancellation reasons by Volume & LTV, transforming churn data into the most objective, unbiased input for your product roadmap.
The cancellation flow is your 'Negative Onboarding'—the last critical UX touchpoint. Don't poison the well with dark patterns. A graceful exit preserves customer goodwill, gathers high-fidelity data, and ensures near-zero CAC for re-acquisition later.
Choosing your SaaS payment processor is critical. For founders, the choice is: Stripe (fastest to market, but DIY tax), Paddle (zero global tax headache), or Chargebee/Recurly (best dunning/retention logic, but adds stack complexity).
State "Click to Cancel" rules (CA, NY) are your biggest legal threat. Here's how to serve compliant flows, deploying smart interventions sparingly but effectively, and create an ironclad, timestamped audit trail to defend your business against compliance fines.
The Subscription Pause is your zero-CAC win-back strategy. It's a low-effort tool to save LTV by deferring revenue, not losing it. Offer it in your exit flow to retain data and goodwill, making re-activation free and instant.
The highest-converting upgrade gates are contextual flows. They appear at the user's moment of highest intent, triggered by a specific paid action. Focus on highlighting the unlocked value, not the price, to guide users through strategic gates and accelerate your trial-to-paid conversion rate.
A free tier is your PLG flywheel, not a cost center. To manage it, you must automate. Deploy AI support for free users, make human support paid-only, and use targeted in-app flows to convert active users into high-value, paying subscribers.
Stop guessing. Your most unbiased roadmap input is hidden in cancellation data. An intelligent exit flow transforms the user's final, honest feedback into actionable product strategy, revealing critical missing features and UX failures.
Use our S-C-F Framework (Strategic Impact, Complexity, Friction) to score any feature. Stop wasting engineering cycles on non-core functions and redirect that time to your UVP. The wrong choice is simply too expensive.
