How Much Is Churn Costing Your ISP?

Most ISPs don't know the real number. Use our calculator to see what churn is actually costing you — and what you could save.

The Math Your CFO Needs to See

20,000 Subscribers

2% monthly churn = 400 subs lost/month

= $312K per year in lost recurring revenue (at $65 ARPU)

Replacement at $500 SAC = $2.4M/year

5% churn improvement = $15.6K revenue preserved + $120K acquisition costs avoided

4,000 Subscribers

3.5% monthly churn = 140 subs lost/month

= $9,100/month lost revenue (at $65 ARPU)

Replacement at $500 SAC = $70,000/month

Even saving 10 more subscribers/month = $7,800/year preserved + $60,000/year avoided acquisition

How We Prove the Numbers

How do we know the churn reduction was QueSee and not something else? We measure using controlled analysis: comparing cohorts of subscribers flagged by QueSee with similar subscribers not yet receiving proactive outreach. We also track save rate before and after deployment. Methodology details available during implementation — we'll walk through it with your team so the numbers hold up in a board presentation.
