  • What is subscription retention?

    Subscription retention is the practice of keeping subscribers active and paying for as long as possible. For a subscription business it is the single biggest lever on revenue, because a small drop in monthly churn compounds into a large gain in lifetime value and MRR over time.

  • How do you reduce subscription churn?

    We attack churn at every stage: onboarding that drives early product habit, replenishment and reorder timing, proactive saves for at-risk subscribers, a pause-instead-of-cancel path, and winback for those who lapse. We also fix the silent killer, failed payments, with smart dunning so involuntary churn stops leaking revenue.

  • What is dunning and failed-payment recovery?

    Dunning is the sequence that recovers subscribers whose card payment fails. A large share of subscription cancellations are involuntary, just an expired or declined card. We build timed email and SMS dunning flows that recover those payments before the subscriber ever churns, which is some of the easiest revenue a subscription brand can win back.

  • How do you win back cancelled subscribers?

    We segment cancellations by reason and tenure, then build winback journeys that speak to each one: a reactivation offer for price-sensitive churners, a new-product or restock nudge for the bored, and a simple one-click resubscribe path. Many cancelled subscribers will come back when the timing and the message are right.

  • Which platforms do you work with?

    We build retention in Klaviyo, Customer.io and Braze, with SMS in Attentive or Postscript, and we integrate with subscription platforms like Recharge and Shopify subscriptions. We make sure subscription events, billing status and cycle data flow cleanly into your ESP so the flows fire on the right signals.

  • How fast can we improve retention and MRR?

    Dunning and at-risk saves can show impact within weeks because they recover revenue you are already losing. Deeper retention gains in onboarding and winback compound over the following months as more subscriber cohorts pass through the improved journeys. Our 30-day money-back guarantee means you can start risk-free.
