See How Much Revenue You Can Save by Reducing Churn

How the ROI Calculation Works

This calculator models your subscription business over 12 months under two scenarios: your current trajectory (status quo) and what happens when a percentage of canceling customers are retained using a smart cancel flow.

We simulate month-by-month customer counts using your growth rate and churn rate. The difference in lost revenue between the two scenarios is your projected ROI — the additional revenue you'd keep by saving customers who would otherwise cancel.

Understanding Save Rate

Save rate represents the percentage of customers who accept a retention offer and stay instead of canceling. It's the single most important lever in this calculation.

Businesses with no cancel flow save 0% of canceling customers. A basic cancel flow with a single offer typically saves 10-15%. An optimized flow with targeted offers based on cancellation reasons achieves 20-35%. The best-in-class flows with personalized incentives, pause options, and plan downgrades can reach 35-50%.

Tips to Maximize Your ROI

The most impactful lever is your save rate. Here are proven strategies to increase it:

1. Segment cancellation reasons and present targeted offers. A customer leaving for price reasons responds to discounts; someone who doesn't use the product responds to onboarding help.

2. Offer subscription pauses as an alternative to cancellation. Paused customers return at 3–5× the rate of fully canceled ones.

3. Test and iterate on your offers. Small changes to offer copy, discount amounts, and flow design can move save rates by 5–10 percentage points.
