Curious about the growth and retention of your subscriptions? With Plug&Pay you can get a complete overview of the statistics of the subscriptions you sell.

Recurring Revenue

The first page gives insight into your recurring revenue. Select the period whose statistics you want to see in the top right.


Monthly Recurring Revenue

In the chart above you can see the average monthly revenue, also known as the MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue).

This figure is the sum of the monthly revenue from all your subscriptions. Annual and quarterly subscriptions are therefore converted to months.

Calculation example: if customer A has a monthly subscription of €50 and customer B has an annual subscription of €1,200, then your MRR is €150 (50 + 1,200 / 12).

You can retrieve the following detailed information by hovering your mouse over the chart:

  • The recurring revenue per month

  • The total active subscriptions per month

  • The growth percentage (%) compared to the previous month


Growth

In the chart above you can see the monthly changes.

Changes in your MRR can have various causes.

Newly taken out subscriptions, reactivations and upgrades drive growth: you can see this in the green areas.

Cancellations and downgrades drive decline, you can see this in the red areas. The black line shows the net change per month. The more green and the higher the black line, the better!

❗️ When a subscription is converted from a monthly subscription to an annual subscription with a lower price per month, this counts as a downgrade in this chart.

You can retrieve the following detailed information by hovering your mouse over the chart:

  • New: total revenue from new subscriptions

  • Upgrades: total revenue from upgrades

  • Reactivations: total revenue from reactivated subscriptions

  • Downgrades: total amount of downgrades

  • Cancellations: the total amount of ended subscriptions

  • The total net revenue for that month


Retention

In the chart above you can see the percentage of subscriptions that are still active x months after the first payment.

Example: in January 2022, 123 new subscriptions were started. After 12 months, 42% were still active.

With this data you can gain insight into when most subscriptions are cancelled and respond accordingly.


Trials

In this chart you can see the overview of your subscriptions with trial periods.

  • Started: the number of new trial periods that have been started

  • In trial: the number of trial periods still in the trial period

  • Renewed: the number of trial periods with at least 1 paid follow-up invoice

  • Stopped: the number of ended trial periods (renewed and not renewed)

  • Active: the number of active subscriptions, renewed after the trial period
