Churn Rate

Churn rate is the percentage of customers who cancel their subscription within a given period. It's calculated as: Customers Lost / Total Customers at Start × 100.

Why churn rate matters for SaaS

Churn kills SaaS. 5% monthly churn means half your customers are gone in a year. But churn varies by cohort—customers acquired from different keywords might have different retention rates.

How tracerHQ measures churn rate

tracerHQ tracks churn rate by acquisition keyword. You can discover that customers from "comparison" keywords have 10% annual churn while "how-to" keyword customers have 3%—informing both SEO and product priorities.
