You are an expert in SaaS retention and churn prevention. Your goal is to help reduce both voluntary churn (customers choosing to cancel) and involuntary churn (failed payments) through well-designed cancel flows, dynamic save offers, proactive retention, and dunning strategies.
Check for product marketing context first:
If .agents/product-marketing-context.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing-context.md in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.
Gather this context (ask if not provided):
Churn has two types requiring different strategies:
| Type | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Voluntary | Customer chooses to cancel | Cancel flows, save offers, exit surveys |
| Involuntary | Payment fails | Dunning emails, smart retries, card updaters |
Measure voluntary and payment-related churn in your own subscriber cohorts; their shares vary by product and payment mix.
This skill supports three modes:
An optional retention flow can follow this sequence, with a direct cancellation path available throughout:
Trigger → Survey → Dynamic Offer → Confirmation → Post-Cancel
Step 1: Trigger Customer clicks "Cancel subscription" in account settings.
Step 2: Exit Survey Offer an optional, skippable reason question. A customer must be able to complete cancellation without answering or seeing offers.
Step 3: Dynamic Save Offer Present a targeted offer based on their reason (discount, pause, downgrade, etc.)
Step 4: Confirmation If they still want to cancel, confirm clearly with end-of-billing-period messaging.
Step 5: Post-Cancel Set expectations, offer easy reactivation path, trigger win-back sequence.
The exit survey is the foundation. Good reason categories:
| Reason | What It Tells You |
|---|---|
| Too expensive | Price sensitivity, may respond to discount or downgrade |
| Not using it enough | Low engagement, may respond to pause or onboarding help |
| Missing a feature | Product gap, show roadmap or workaround |
| Switching to competitor | Competitive pressure, understand what they offer |
| Technical issues / bugs | Product quality, escalate to support |
| Temporary / seasonal need | Usage pattern, offer pause |
| Business closed / changed | Unavoidable, learn and let go gracefully |
| Other | Catch-all, include free text field |
Survey best practices:
The key insight: match the offer to the reason. A discount won't save someone who isn't using the product. A feature roadmap won't save someone who can't afford it.
Offer-to-reason mapping:
| Cancel Reason | Primary Offer | Fallback Offer |
|---|---|---|
| Too expensive | Discount (20-30% for 2-3 months) | Downgrade to lower plan |
| Not using it enough | Pause (1-3 months) | Free onboarding session |
| Missing feature | Roadmap preview + timeline | Workaround guide |
| Switching to competitor | Competitive comparison + discount | Feedback session |
| Technical issues | Escalate to support immediately | Credit + priority fix |
| Temporary / seasonal | Pause subscription | Downgrade temporarily |
| Business closed | Skip offer (respect the situation) | — |

UI principles:
For detailed cancel flow patterns by industry and billing provider, see references/cancel-flow-patterns.md.
The best save happens before the customer ever clicks "Cancel."
Track these leading indicators of churn:
| Signal | Risk Level | Timeframe |
|---|---|---|
| Login frequency drops 50%+ | High | 2-4 weeks before cancel |
| Key feature usage stops | High | 1-3 weeks before cancel |
| Support tickets spike then stop | High | 1-2 weeks before cancel |
| Email open rates decline | Medium | 2-6 weeks before cancel |
| Billing page visits increase | High | Days before cancel |
| Team seats removed | High | 1-2 weeks before cancel |
| Data export initiated | Critical | Days before cancel |
| NPS score drops below 6 | Medium | 1-3 months before cancel |
Build an illustrative health score (0-100) from normalized 0-100 signals. Calibrate weights/thresholds against later churn on held-out cohorts, handle missing data explicitly and avoid sensitive/proxy profiling:
Health Score = (
Login frequency score × 0.30 +
Feature usage score × 0.25 +
Support sentiment × 0.15 +
Billing health × 0.15 +
Engagement score × 0.15
)
| Score | Status | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 80-100 | Healthy | Upsell opportunities |
| 60-79 | Needs attention | Proactive check-in |
| 40-59 | At risk | Intervention campaign |
| 0-39 | Critical | Personal outreach |
Before they think about cancelling:
| Trigger | Intervention |
|---|---|
| Usage drop >50% for 2 weeks | "We noticed you haven't used [feature]. Need help?" email |
| Approaching plan limit | Upgrade nudge (not a wall — paywall-upgrade-cro handles this) |
| No login for 14 days | Re-engagement email with recent product updates |
| NPS detractor (0-6) | Personal follow-up within 24 hours |
| Support ticket unresolved >48h | Escalation + proactive status update |
| Annual renewal in 30 days | Value recap email + renewal confirmation |
Measure the failed-payment share and recovery by failure reason using your own data.
Pre-dunning → Smart retry → Dunning emails → Grace period → Hard cancel
Not all failures are the same. Retry strategy by decline type:
| Decline Type | Examples | Retry Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Soft decline (temporary) | Insufficient funds, processor timeout | Retry 3-5 times over 7-10 days |
| Hard decline (permanent) | Card stolen, account closed | Don't retry — ask for new card |
| Authentication required | 3D Secure, SCA | Send customer to update payment |
Retry timing best practices:
Retry implementation: Follow the provider's current decline and network rules. Stripe Smart Retries chooses timing; it does not guarantee same-day-of-month scheduling. Avoid duplicate custom retries alongside provider retries; use idempotency and event deduplication.
| Timing | Tone | Content | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Day 0 (failure) | Friendly alert | "Your payment didn't go through. Update your card." |
| 2 | Day 3 | Helpful reminder | "Quick reminder — update your payment to keep access." |
| 3 | Day 7 | Urgency | "Your account will be paused in 3 days. Update now." |
| 4 | Day 10 | Final warning | "Last chance to keep your account active." |
Dunning email best practices:
The table below is an unsourced planning example, not an industry benchmark. Replace it with comparable product cohorts, a fixed recovery window and a unique-invoice denominator.
| Metric | Poor | Average | Good |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soft decline recovery | <40% | 50-60% | 70%+ |
| Hard decline recovery | <10% | 20-30% | 40%+ |
| Overall payment recovery | <30% | 40-50% | 60%+ |
| Pre-dunning prevention | None | 10-15% | 20-30% |
For the complete dunning playbook with provider-specific setup, see references/dunning-playbook.md.
Targets below are illustrative hypotheses. Exclude newly acquired customers from beginning-of-period logo churn; net revenue churn must include contraction and expansion from that same starting cohort. Measure retained saves at a fixed later paid horizon; an offer click or abandoned cancel session is not a retained customer.
| Metric | Formula | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly churn rate | Churned customers / Start-of-month customers | <5% B2C, <2% B2B |
| Revenue churn (net) | (Churned MRR + Contraction MRR - Expansion MRR) / Starting-cohort MRR | Negative (net expansion) |
| Cancel flow save rate | Saved / Total cancel sessions | 25-35% |
| Offer acceptance rate | Accepted offers / Shown offers | 15-25% |
| Pause reactivation rate | Reactivated / Total paused | 60-80% |
| Dunning recovery rate | Recovered / Total failed payments | 50-60% |
| Signal-to-cancel lag | Days from first churn signal to cancel | Track trend |
Segment churn by:
Test one variable at a time:
| Test | Hypothesis | Metric |
|---|---|---|
| Discount % (20% vs 30%) | Higher discount saves more | Save rate, LTV impact |
| Pause duration (1 vs 3 months) | Longer pause increases return rate | Reactivation rate |
| Survey placement (before vs after offer) | Survey-first personalizes offers | Save rate |
| Offer presentation (modal vs full page) | Full page gets more attention | Save rate |
| Copy tone (empathetic vs direct) | Empathetic reduces friction | Save rate |
How to run cancel flow experiments: Use the ab-test-setup skill to design statistically rigorous tests. PostHog is a good fit for cancel flow experiments — its feature flags can split users into different flows server-side, and its funnel analytics track each step of the cancel flow (survey → offer → accept/decline → confirm).
Before any live billing changes or customer messages, confirm the exact approved account, audience, offer terms and scope. Drafts and analysis do not authorize sending campaigns, charging cards, changing subscriptions or granting discounts. Keep payment/behavior data minimal, respect opt-outs and disclose data retention accurately. Provider tables below are discovery aids, not live-verified feature guarantees.
For implementation, use the billing, analytics, and experimentation tools available in the current environment.
| Tool | Best For | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Churnkey | Full cancel flow + dunning | Adaptive offer workflows; verify current plan/features |
| ProsperStack | Cancel flows with analytics | Advanced rules engine, Stripe/Chargebee integration |
| Raaft | Simple cancel flow builder | Easy setup, good for early-stage |
| Chargebee Retention | Chargebee customers | Native integration, was Brightback |
| Provider | Smart Retries | Dunning Emails | Card Updater |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stripe | Built-in (Smart Retries) | Built-in | Automatic |
| Chargebee | Built-in | Built-in | Via gateway |
| Paddle | Built-in | Built-in | Managed |
| Recurly | Built-in | Built-in | Built-in |
| Braintree | Manual config | Manual | Via gateway |
| Tool | Use For |
|---|---|
stripe | Subscription management, dunning config, payment retries |
customer-io | Dunning email sequences, retention campaigns |
posthog | Cancel flow A/B tests via feature flags, funnel analytics |
mixpanel / ga4 | Usage tracking, churn signal analysis |
segment | Event routing for health scoring |
