Overview

Required plan

This feature or setting is available to all customers on any Recurly subscription plan.

Definition

Recurly's 'Plan Performance Subscription Trials' presents an in-depth look at the journey of trial subscriptions. Comprising swimlane charts, a status chart, and a line chart, it provides a comprehensive view of how trial subscriptions progress – whether they transition into full-fledged subscriptions or face hindrances along the way.

Note: It's essential to note the distinction between a subscriber and a subscription. While a single subscriber might hold multiple active subscriptions, this dashboard focuses on counting the individual subscriber, not the number of subscriptions they possess.

Plan performance subscription trials

The 'Trials' view includes two swimlane charts and one status chart in the 'Subscription Trials' section, and one line chart in the 'Trial Conversion Rate' section.

• The swimlane charts provide a visual representation of the status of trial subscriptions, such as conversions to paid subscriptions and non-conversions due to failed payment or cancellation.

• The status chart tracks the current state of subscriptions that began as trials, providing useful insights into how many trials convert to full subscriptions and the potential reasons if they don't.

• The 'Trial Conversion Rate' line chart shows the conversion rate of trial subscriptions for each plan, which can be helpful in assessing the effectiveness of trials in converting users to paid subscribers.
