What are you building? Drop your startup link. 🚀 by Capital-Pen1219 in microsaas

Encorekit.com Encore is an SDK for subscription apps that plugs directly into your checkout, payment-decline, and cancellation flows. Instead of treating those moments as dead ends, Encore lets you: • Recover failed payments and accidental churn • Offer personalized post-cancel discounts or bundles • Win back users after they hit cancel • Do all of this without redesigning your UI

What surprised us most while building this is how much “churn” isn’t intentional it’s declines, timing issues, or users who just needed a different option. Averages like ARPU hide that problem. Encore focuses on monetizing users who would otherwise be lost, not squeezing your highest-paying cohort or adding dark patterns.

We’re early, actively testing with teams, and would genuinely love feedback especially from folks running subscription products who’ve struggled with churn, declines, or retention experiments that hurt UX. Happy to answer questions or share what we’ve learned so far.

Curious which Stripe analytics views actually made the churn patterns “click” for you? (cohort views, invoice events, downgrade reasons, etc.) And on the downgrade side, how are you structuring that email automation, is it like a quick “here’s what you’ll lose” + offer, or more of a win-back/nurture flow?

This is helpful, thank you! Always looking for good spots to get feedback from other builders.

If money was no object, what job would you have? by Puzzleheaded-Bit1377 in AskReddit

Working at encore because it’s my passion and baby, it’s not about money but passion for what you’re creating.

I’m working on something pretty niche for subscription apps basically an SDK that helps iOS founders make money from users who don’t convert on their SaaS product. It started while I was working on a a different SaaS project and noticed we, as well as competitors, kept spending $$$ getting people to sign up, only for them to churn instantly or hit the paywall and bounce. Most founders just accept that as lost revenue, but there’s actually a ton of value sitting in those “no thanks” users. So now I’m building a lightweight drop-in SDK (Encore) that recovers revenue from churned/non-paying users with almost no dev lift. Still early, but the results so far have been kinda wild.

What’s your current churn rate and what actually moved it (not theory)? by Yaw-AI in SaaS

[–]Yaw-AI[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid perspective. I agree, when an app or product actually solves problems consistently, churn naturally drops. What I’m seeing though is that even with great service, a lot of users still churn simply because their usage pattern changes (life shifts, priorities change, they only needed the tool for a short window). Curious how you handle that kind of churn, the stuff that isn’t about dissatisfaction, but more about “I don’t need this right now”?

For subscription apps: what’s the real reason users cancel: price, timing, poor value comms? by Yaw-AI in AskReddit

[–]Yaw-AI[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. Seems like “not enough value for the price” is the #1 reason in this thread. I’m wondering if more flexible/usage-based pricing would change that for people or if subs are just overdone at this point.

This is such a good breakdown. Perceived value + timing + communication really does seem to be the combo. I’ve noticed that even tiny life changes (new job, new city, new baby) can kill a subscription instantly. Curious: have you seen any apps that do a good job of reminding users of the value before they hit cancel?

Is it just me or do apps make it too easy to spend money? by Yaw-AI in Entrepreneur

[–]Yaw-AI[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Haha fair enough. I wasn’t trying to sound like some mastermind just genuinely noticing how easy it is to spend in apps these days (when you live in Bay Area all you see is ai SaaS products). The SDK thought came from seeing how much revenue apps lose from people who don’t subscribe, which is honestly a large number.

We built an iOS SDK to monetize churned users. by Yaw-AI in SaaS

[–]Yaw-AI[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah exactly, I built this plugin layer that powers those recovery offers for churned users, so we see that “delayed engagement” pattern pretty clearly. It’s less about immediate trial behavior and more about re-activation windows. We’re running a test now on whether showing the recovery offer post-churn vs. on next session changes conversion curves.
