Cancellation Reasons

This table breaks down the reasons subscribers selected when attempting to cancel. For each reason, you can see:

  • Reasons: The cancellation reason selected by the subscriber.
  • Selected: How many times that reason was chosen.
  • Retained: How many subscribers with that reason were successfully retained.
  • Continued Cancellation: How many proceeded to cancel despite the flow.
  • Prevention Reason: The number of prevention steps triggered for that reason.
  • Revenue Saved: Total revenue saved from retaining subscribers with that reason.

This breakdown helps you understand the most common cancellation triggers and which reasons are hardest to recover from.

  • Retained: How many subscribers were retained after seeing the offer.
  • Accepted: How many subscribers accepted the offer.
