The problem

Your churn story is already in Stripe, in pieces.

  1. 01

    Stripe has it, in pieces

    Cancellations, reasons and invoices on different screens.

  2. 02

    Cliffs stay hidden

    If people leave at the first renewal, that's where to act.

  3. 03

    Tools start from zero

    Without a before, every number after is hard to read.

How it works

What Tenure does, step by step.

  1. 01

    Who left, and when

    Cancellations, revenue lost and median time subscribed, by month, with Stripe's reasons. Failed payments and ended trials shown apart. Tenure reads 24 months, so this year sits beside last year.

The details

What’s in it.

  • Stripe's reasonsWhy people said they left, grouped.
  • In the backgroundStarts when you save a Stripe key.
  • The plans they leftWhich plans cancellations came from.
  • The count behind every figureNo percentages below 20 customers.
  • Refunds counted“Paid so far” is money actually kept.
  • No forecastsNo lifetime value, no predicted churn.

Questions about this part.

How long does it take?
It starts when you connect Stripe and fills in while you finish setup.
Why 24 months?
Enough to see a yearly cycle twice, and the first renewal of yearly plans, without keeping more than needed.
Is “paid so far” lifetime value?
No. It's what customers have actually paid you, as of today. Tenure never forecasts lifetime value.
