Built to help businesses keep more customers
Churn was founded by the team behind Dropship.io, operators who ran subscription and e-commerce businesses and got tired of watching customers cancel. They built Churn to turn the cancel button into a second chance, and to give every subscription business the retention tooling they wished they'd had.
Our values are simple, they shape everything we build
We believe the cheapest growth is the customer you already have. So we build tools that launch fast, stay honest with your data, and respect your customers, because a good cancellation experience is still an experience worth getting right.
We ship quickly, listen closely, and obsess over one number: how many customers you keep. That is our priority.
A team of builders, building for builders
Churn was founded by three brothers, former e-commerce operators and the founders of Dropship.io & Chargeback.io. They built their own retention tooling to solve their own churn, then turned it into Churn.

What Is Expansion Revenue? (SaaS Glossary)

Upsell, cross-sell, and seat or usage expansion are the three moves that push NRR past 100%, each fired by its own product signal, and sizing them against the gross-revenue-retention gap (1 − GRR) tells you how much expansion you actually need.

Cancel Flow vs. Dunning: Two Tools, Two Churn Problems
