Each Churnkey use-case page covers the reasons customers cancel in that industry, the offers that keep them, and save rates from Churnkey's own data. Churnkey saves cancellations with [Cancel Flows](/feature/cancel-flows.html.md), recovers failed payments with [Payment Recovery](/feature/payment-recovery/index.html.md), and turns churn into recurring revenue. Every plan starts with the reasons your own customers leave. ## Industry Benchmarks The in-depth industry pages publish two rates from Churnkey's accounts in that industry: the share of attempted cancellations that Cancel Flows save, and the share of failed payments that Payment Recovery recovers. Figures are trailing 12 months. The edtech payment-recovery figure is directional, drawn from two customers. | Industry | Cancellations saved | Failed payments recovered | |---|---|---| | [AI-native products](/use-case/ai-native/index.html.md) | 36.4% | 40.8% | | [Martech and salestech](/use-case/martech/index.html.md) | 32.0% | 53.1% | | [Edtech and online learning](/use-case/edtech/index.html.md) | 30.3% | 44.6% | | [Developer tools and infrastructure](/use-case/devtools/index.html.md) | 24.2% | 26.5% | | [Fintech and financial software](/use-case/fintech/index.html.md) | 22.3% | 48.1% | | [Travel and hospitality](/use-case/travel/index.html.md) | 21.1% | 48.2% | ## Every Industry Has Its Own Reasons for Cancelling - **[AI-native products](/use-case/ai-native/index.html.md)** — Users cancel once the novelty wears off or a usage-based bill surprises them. - **[Martech and salestech](/use-case/martech/index.html.md)** — Campaigns end, budgets get cut, and the tool leaves with the operator who bought it. - **[Edtech and online learning](/use-case/edtech/index.html.md)** — Learners finish the goal, fall behind the material, or reach the end of a cohort. - **[Developer tools and infrastructure](/use-case/devtools/index.html.md)** — Projects finish, teams consolidate their stack, and a pricing change reads as broken trust. - **[Fintech and financial software](/use-case/fintech/index.html.md)** — Cards fail, fees surprise, and customers leave once the financial goal is met. - **[Travel and hospitality](/use-case/travel/index.html.md)** — Bookings follow the season, so subscribers cancel once their off-season starts. - **[Consumer health](/use-case/consumer-health/index.html.md)** — Members discontinue when results plateau or the daily routine breaks. ## More Industries We Support - [B2B SaaS](/use-case/b2b-saas/index.html.md) - [Product-led growth SaaS](/use-case/plg-saas/index.html.md) - [Prosumer and B2C SaaS](/use-case/prosumer/index.html.md) - [Consumer apps](/use-case/consumer-apps/index.html.md) - [Streaming](/use-case/streaming/index.html.md) - [News and media](/use-case/media/index.html.md) - [Nonprofit fundraising](/use-case/nonprofit/index.html.md) ## What the Industry Pages Cover Each in-depth industry page follows the same structure, so they can be compared side by side: - **Who it serves** — The kinds of company in that industry that run on Churnkey. - **ROI calculator** — Enter monthly churned revenue and the split between cancellations and failed payments.
