Definition

NoteIt's important to understand the difference between a subscriber and a subscription. A single subscriber might hold multiple active subscriptions, but this dashboard counts each individual subscriber — not the number of subscriptions they hold. Data only includes plans that have had at least one subscriber.

TipFor more on navigating and using the filter tools, see our analytics overview documentation.

Key details

Total subscriptions

Total Subscriptions is a visual breakdown of your subscriptions by plan over your selected timeframe. Each bar represents a time unit, its height shows the total number of subscriptions, and each plan is color-coded so you can see at a glance which ones are gaining subscriptions.

Subscription breakout

These three bar charts — net, new, and churned subscriptions — let you analyze subscription growth rate, see which plans are gaining or losing subscribers, and spot which plans have higher churn rates.
