Churn

Churn is the share of customers who left you in a given period. High churn eats LTV and stalls growth — new customers just replace the lost ones.

Back to the knowledge base

Churn (churn rate) is the percentage of customers who left in a period. For example, starting a month with 100 customers and losing 5 gives a monthly churn of 5%. It's the opposite of retention.

Churn is a hidden risk: even if you acquire new customers, if old ones keep leaving, the business becomes a "leaky bucket." At high churn, CAC is never recouped because the customer leaves before reaching their LTV.

Frequently asked questions

How do you reduce churn?
