Is your churn normal?

Churn Index is the definitive SaaS churn and retention benchmark, segmented by vertical, ARR band, and pricing model. Contribute your numbers anonymously once a quarter, and see exactly where you stand against comparable companies.

From raw numbers to your percentile, in four steps

Built for SaaS founders, CFOs, and investors who need an honest answer before the board meeting.

Tag your company

Vertical, ARR band, pricing model (per-seat, usage, flat), and customer segment. Your cohort is companies that look like you, not the whole SaaS universe.

Share your numbers

Connect Stripe or Chargebee for automatic quarterly pulls, or enter logo churn, revenue churn, NRR, and expansion manually. One methodology, so every cohort is comparable.

See your percentiles

Your private dashboard shows where you sit in each cohort slice: churn, NRR, expansion, contraction. Screenshot-ready for your board deck.

Benchmark quarterly

New data every quarter. Watch your percentile move as you ship retention work, and see how your segment shifts around you.

Why founders stop guessing

The incumbent is a hallway conversation and a spreadsheet. Churn Index beats both.

Segmented cohorts

Compare against companies like you

A blended industry average tells a $2M ARR dev-tools company nothing. Your cohort is your vertical, your ARR band, your pricing model, your customer segment.

True anonymity

Share without exposure

Your numbers are never visible alone. Public slices only publish above a contributor minimum, and your identity is never attached to your data.

One methodology

Apples to apples

Every contributor's churn, NRR, and expansion is computed the same way from the same definitions. No more arguing about what counts as churn.

Private dashboard

Board-ready percentiles

Your percentile in every slice, with trend lines. Walk into the board meeting with "we are 62nd percentile in our segment" instead of "we think we are fine."

Quarterly updates

A living dataset

Benchmarks that refresh every quarter as contributors report. Watch your segment shift and your percentile move as you ship retention work.

Independent

Not one platform's customer base

Platform-published indices reflect that platform's users. Churn Index is independent, with contributors from every billing stack.

Simple, annual pricing

Share your numbers quarterly and the benchmark is free. Pay only if you want the data without contributing.

Questions

Is my company's data really anonymous?

Yes. Your numbers are never displayed alone or attached to your name. Public benchmark slices only publish once a cohort passes a minimum contributor threshold, and your private dashboard is visible only to you.

How is this different from the benchmarks Paddle or ChartMogul publish?

Those are valuable but thin: directional indices over one platform's users, or infrequent blended averages. Churn Index is segmented by vertical, ARR band, pricing model, and customer segment, computed with one methodology, and refreshed quarterly.

What counts as churn in your methodology?

We publish exact definitions for logo churn, revenue churn, NRR, expansion, and contraction, and every contributor's numbers are computed the same way. The definitions ship with the product and are the same for everyone.

Do I have to connect my billing system?

No. Stripe and Chargebee connectors automate the quarterly pull, but manual entry works and takes a few minutes per quarter. Either way, you keep Contributor status.

What is the annual State of SaaS Retention report?

Once the dataset reaches density, we publish a public annual report on retention trends by segment. Contributors get it first; it becomes the earned-media flywheel that grows the dataset.
