Metrics
| Report | Description |
|---|---|
| Active Subscribers | Customers with an active subscription on record - that are not canceled or expired during any given time period. Helpful to know how many subscribers you have and how much you have grown in subscriber count over time. Subscriptions have a start date and a churned date, so Peel will count daily active subscribers over time to show trends. Active subscribers describe subscriptions that are not canceled or expired in any way. We do not count PAUSED subscriptions among active or churned. |
| Active Subscriptions | Amount of active subscriptions on record that are not canceled or expired. Helpful to know how many subscriptions you have and how much you have grown in subscription count over time. It is common that for many businesses there are always more subscriptions than subscribers, as a subscriber can hold multiple subscriptions depending on your offering. |
| Churned Subscribers | The number of churned subscribers on any given day. Subscriptions have a churn date due to cancelation or failed payments, so they're churned on that date. Helpful to keep track of the number of subscribers that leave your brand, so you can find ways to reverse it. |
| Churned Subscriptions | The number of churned subscriptions during any given time period. Helpful to keep track of the number of subscriptions that churn over time. Note that in many deployments, subscribers have multiple subscriptions, one for each SKU/product, and it is common to churn subscriptions to replace them by a new one upon a customer's request to switch products. |
| Duration of Active Subscribers | Looking at currently active subscribers, tracks the number of days since each customer's earliest subscription started: = "data": { "h-0": " / ort", "h-1": "Descrip (on any date or date range) Helpful to know how long your active subscribers stick around and stay a customer. This is best used by fast-growing brands with more active than churned subscribers. |

If a subscription renews every 6 weeks, we’ll count 6 (weeks) * 7 (days) / 30.5 (days) of the revenue towards the MRR, and put simply, if a $100 subscription renews every other month, we count $50 towards MRR. |

| Subscribers Churn rate | Rate of churned subscribers during a given time period The churn rate is looking at each subscriber and counting how many of the active subscribers 30 days ago are still active today. Our definition of churn is any customer who's canceling all their subscriptions or failing to pay and the absence of a future charge scheduled. When a customer is recovered, the churn rate is revised. As a formula: it is taking the number (A) of subscribers (All) at the beginning of a time period, count the number (C) of these (All) subscribers who churned during that time period. The churn rate is = C / A as a percentage. |
| Subscribers Growth Rate | # of subscribers at the end of the time period divided # of subscribers at the beginning of the time period. You want this to always be increasing. |
