The problem

You're paying to acquire users. The lifecycle is leaking.

You spend to bring users in, then lose too many of them before they ever activate, pay, or stick.

Users sign up and disappear.
Trials start but never convert.
Free users never hit the paywall.
Paid users churn before the habit forms.
Inactive users are never brought back.
The emails are basic, generic, or missing entirely.

The data

Every subscription app leaks in the same places.

Benchmarks from 115,000+ apps and $16B+ in tracked subscription revenue. Lifecycle email is the system built to close these exact gaps.

84%

of trial cancellations happen within the first 48 hours of the trial starting.

What we build

Every journey that turns users into revenue.

Every message is tied to what a user just did, or didn't do. Behavior in, the right email out. Built in Customer.io, Braze, or the ESP you already run.

Onboarding & activation

We guide new users to their first real win, the moment they actually feel the value.

Trial-to-paid conversion

We show trial users what they've built and what they'll lose, so they upgrade before it ends.

Free-to-paid upgrades

We catch free users at the right moment, like hitting a limit, and move them to paid.

Failed-payment recovery

We win back the revenue leaking from declined cards and expiring payment methods.

Churn prevention & saves

We reach users before they cancel and give them a reason to stay.

Winback & re-engagement

We bring dormant and churned users back before they're gone for good.

The outcomes

What changes when the lifecycle works.

Higher activation rate
Higher trial-to-paid conversion
More free-to-paid upgrades
More feature adoption
Lower early churn
More saved cancellations

Higher LTV from the same CAC
