Report: Subscription Movements

The Subscription Movements report tracks how your paid and free subscriptions grow or shrink over time. Each period appears as a vertically stacked bar with color-coded bands representing new and canceled subscriptions, so you can spot trends, seasonal patterns, and the impact of pricing changes at a glance.

How to Read the Report Data Table

The Report Data table — the detailed data grid below the report — works differently for Subscription Movements than for other reports. It provides the following breakdown:

  • New Subscriptions — The number of paid and free subscriptions started in the period.
  • Cancelled Subscriptions — The number of paid and free subscriptions canceled in the period.
  • Net Subscription Movement — The net gain or loss of paid and free subscriptions in the period.
  • Change — The percentage change in paid and free subscriptions compared to the previous period.
  • Total Subscriptions — The total number of paid and free subscriptions in the period.

Next Steps

  • Use segmentation to break down subscription movements by region, plan, or custom attribute (such as industry or marketing channel).
  • Use Subscriber Movements to visualize fluctuations in paying subscribers over time.
