churn

Because of the SaaS LTV formula: monthly price / churn rate.

If you have a mediocre-ish 5% churn, then a $30 a month account is worth $600.

Maybe writers can churn and churn while working miserable hours for years on end.

Get your monthly churn rate down to 2% over time and you have a client with a life time value of $600.

Use that development time to churn out videos and blog about your progress.

One can be sloppy and churn out functional websites by the dozens.

> Adding the snooze function has helped decrease the churn rate down to just 2%.> By adding more products and flexibility, the average order size increased by 84%.This is pretty much all there is in the article about "how" that is so prominently featured in link title.

Worth noting: developer tools companies don't sell primarily to startups, who represent a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of the software developer market, frequently are averse to spending meaningful amounts of money, and have business turnover which is higher than the churn rates for many of these tools.
