RedChurn
Flow 03Trial cancel save

Save trial users before they churn at day zero.

Trials that cancel never convert to paid. RedChurn detects voluntary trial cancellations from your billing provider and runs save flows on email, in-app, or both — including pre-expiry reminders before the trial ends.

The problem

Trial cancels are paid churn you never had

Most apps lose trial users silently. They cancel during the trial and never see a save offer or a reminder before expiry.

  • Trial subscribers who tap cancel during their trial were never paying customers — but they were your most engaged prospects. Without an intercept, they disappear with no feedback and no second chance.

  • Even subscribers who do not actively cancel often forget their trial is ending. A reminder at J-3 and J-1 converts users who intended to subscribe but needed a nudge.

The workflow

How the workflow runs

Trial cancel save triggers on two moments: when a subscriber voluntarily cancels during an active trial, and on a pre-expiry schedule before the trial ends.

Default sequence

  1. Cancel tap

    Subscriber cancels during trial → save sheet or email sequence

  2. J-3

    Pre-expiry reminder email with value recap

  3. J-1

    Last-day urgency email before trial ends

  4. Outcome

    Trial converted or churn reason captured

  5. Analytics

    Complete

Trial cancel is separate from paid cancel saves and win back. Each flow has its own dashboard view and metrics.

Channels

Email and in-app together

Start with pre-expiry emails only — no SDK required. Enable J-3 and J-1 sequences under Scenarios → Email → Trial cancel save.

Add in-app intercept when a trial subscriber taps cancel. Wire the SDK cancel flow so trial users see save offers before leaving.

Get started

Getting started

Connect your billing provider and enable trial cancel save on email first. Add the SDK when you want in-app intercept for trial cancellations.

Make sure subscriber emails are set in your billing provider so pre-expiry sequences can deliver.
