Churn Rate
The percentage of customers who stop using your product or service in a given period.
Glossary/Churn Rate
Churn rate measures how many customers you lose over a period. It's a core health metric, especially for subscription businesses, because retaining customers is far cheaper than acquiring new ones — and small changes in churn compound dramatically over time.
Support quality is a major lever on churn: slow onboarding, unresolved issues and frustrating experiences push customers away, while fast, helpful support keeps them. Proactive support and quick resolutions directly reduce churn.
Frequently asked questions
How does customer support reduce churn?
Fast, accurate resolutions and smooth onboarding keep customers succeeding with your product, while proactive outreach heads off problems before they cause frustration — all of which lowers churn.
