Subscriber churn
Retention
Subscribers who stop their subscription in a given period, whether they cancel or their payments fail.
For example, a brand starts the month with 2,000 subscribers and loses 120: 90 cancel and 30 lapse after failed payments. Its subscriber churn rate is 120 ÷ 2,000 = 6%.
Churn quietly caps how big your subscription program can grow, so even small improvements compound over time.
