StayMate positioning
Lightweight WooCommerce cancel deflection with a smaller offer set.
When to choose each
Choose ChurnStop if
- - You need more than two offer types — our router supports discount, pause, skip, tier-down, extend-trial, product-swap
- - You care about FTC click-to-cancel compliance being enforced, not just documented
- - You want A/B testing, cohort analytics, winback, and agency multi-site in one plugin
Choose StayMate if
- - You want the smallest possible plugin surface and only need one or two offer types
- - You do not need compliance enforcement at runtime

| A/B testing | Starter tier, sticky bucketing + z-test | Limited |
| Cohort LTV analytics | Growth tier | No |
| Winback email sequence | Growth tier | No |
| Agency multi-site rollup | Agency tier | No |
| Free tier | Full save flow | Varies |

Both are WordPress plugins. ChurnStop prices from free to $399/mo (Agency); StayMate-style plugins typically price on a one-time license model.
Best fit for
If you run any of these, ChurnStop is a good match out of the box:
- Subscription boxes- Box stores get hit hardest on schedule conflicts and variety fatigue, not price. ChurnStop routes "not using" to skip-renewal and "missing a feature" to product-swap so you stop discounting churn you did not cause.
- Replenishment commerce- Customers who subscribe to consumables cancel on timing, not intent. A skip-renewal offer converts 40%+ of "not using" cancellations. The product is fine. The cadence is wrong.
