By cancellation, the decision was made weeks ago.

A customer cancels. The decision was not made today. Usage dropped three weeks ago. Support tickets spiked. Feature adoption stalled. Login frequency fell 60%. The signals were there across four different tools. Nobody connected them. askotter does, 18 days before the cancellation email.

Churn is a lagging indicator

Measuring churn at the point of cancellation is like measuring a disease at the hospital. The causes happened weeks earlier. Usage patterns shifted. The customer stopped exploring new features. Support response times frustrated them. Payment retries started failing. Each signal appeared in a different tool. Together, they form a clear pre-churn pattern. Apart, they are noise.

The cost of late detection

A customer flagged 18 days before cancellation can be saved with a well-timed CS outreach, a feature walkthrough, or a billing adjustment. A customer flagged at cancellation is gone. For SaaS companies, the difference between proactive and reactive retention can be millions in ARR. The data to be proactive already exists.

How askotter predicts churn

askotter connects product analytics, billing, support tickets, and CRM activity to identify pre-churn patterns. Login frequency -60% plus unresolved tickets plus payment retry failure equals high churn risk. Accounts are scored and ranked by ARR impact. CS teams get per-account playbooks: what happened, what to say, and what to offer. Every intervention is a recommendation. Humans decide.

/// metrics that matter

KPIs this pain point directly impacts.

Understanding these metrics helps you measure the problem and track improvement. Each links to our full glossary definition with formulas, benchmarks, and role-specific context.

CHURN-RATE
Churn Rate
Churn Rate measures the percentage of customers or revenue lost in a given period due to cancellations, non-renewals, or downgrades. Customer churn rate tracks the number of customers lost; revenue churn (gross revenue retention) tracks the MRR lost. Churn is the primary drain on recurring revenue growth and one of the most critical metrics for SaaS sustainability.
NRR
Net Revenue Retention
Net Revenue Retention (NRR) measures the percentage of recurring revenue retained from existing customers over a period, including expansion revenue from upsells and cross-sells, minus contraction and churn. An NRR above 100% means the existing customer base is growing in revenue even without new customer acquisition. It is one of the strongest indicators of product-market fit and the health of a SaaS business.
CHS
Customer Health Score
Customer Health Score is a composite metric that combines multiple behavioral, engagement, and relationship signals to produce a single score indicating how likely a customer account is to renew, expand, or churn. It synthesizes product usage data, support sentiment, NPS, executive engagement, and contract signals into an early warning system for customer success teams. High health scores correlate with expansion revenue; low scores predict churn risk.
RETENTION-RATE
Retention Rate
Retention Rate measures the percentage of users or customers who continue to use a product or service in a given period after their initial acquisition. User retention (product analytics context) measures whether acquired users are still active in subsequent weeks or months. Customer retention (revenue context) is closely related to GRR and churn rate. High retention is the foundation of sustainable growth.
