Tying engagement data about customers with subscription metrics in a frictionless way is game changing. Kudos to the ProfitWell team for putting something so painful to do into an elegant, easy to use package. Diagnosing what’s causing people to purchase, retain or churn has never been this easy.

@patticus and the ProfitWell team are unstoppable. They continue to plug away at creating truly valuable products for SaaS companies. If you're a SaaS founder, sign up for ProfitWell and sleep much better at night.

Is the safest way to integrate this to only turn it on for US customers due to GDPR? I'm guessing we would need to add you guys as a 3rd party data processor to use for EU customers. Do you guys have an integration that supports geo-fencing?
Patrick Campbell

@bryantchou Really great question here (per usual :)). We're fully GDPR compliant and have thousands of users based in the EU. Happy to send our DPA your way (or sign yours after review), but we've done the leg work to make sure we're good on this front (officially EU/Swiss privacy shield approved and compliant). We also built a few features inside the product to accommodate all the fun GDPR requests you may be getting. Going a step further, one other piece a lot of folks don't always realize is that we also do custom DPAs/Ts&Cs with a lot of our higher growth/enterprise companies just to make sure everything is picture perfect. Basically - we've got you handled. Shoot me an email if you want to go deeper or have any other questions - at pc@profitwell.com as you know.

@profitwell @patticus Really great answer, per usual! Thanks!

I've been using this for a couple of months now ! And it definitely gives a number of qualitative and quantitative metrics that helps me track the "the paying" usage of my SaaS. What I love the most is the Breakdown by plan! You are dominating the subscription metrics game guys ;)

@shub_s Thanks so much man! From a monetization perspective, super interesting to see engagement vary across your various plans and pricing tiers. What should we build next?
Jamie Lawrence
Is there any documentation about the integration and how "active customers" are defined? I'm really really interested in moving away from the notion that an active customer is one that needs to log in to get value from an app — I think/I hope/I wish that more apps will provide value without a user ever needing to log in and push buttons. I'm wondering if ProfitWell Engagement supports other usage metrics?
Neel Desai

@ideasasylum Hey Jamie! Really great point here - totally hear you and relate to this. One of our premium products Retain - is a anti-usage passive product, that seldom requires the user to log into the app, so we've been thinking about this a lot. While V1 of Engagement Data uses log ins as a proxy we're working on a number of other ways to log activity —including event tracking and custom events via an API. How would you define active users for your product?
Wes Wagner
First off, love the new feature @profitwell team. On @ideasasylum's note, I'm also pretty curious about how active customers are defined and what usage metrics the platform supports. Is it any metric that you've integrated with your billing system (assuming there's an integration with ProfitWell)?
Jamie Lawrence
@neel_desai Good point about Retain — my canonical example of this type of anti-usage app is https://deadmanssnitch.com/ and they send an email every day just reminding me that they're doing their job and everything is fine. I think it also applies to ecommerce apps like Podia: I want to see creators logging in to initially build a course or membership but the real value comes when they make sales 💰 — and the more sales they can make without doing work (like, logging into the app), the better for them

Been using Profitwell on 2 SaaS apps and have beta tested Engagement on both. Looking at customer engagement alongside revenue is so valuable, and with Profitwell I barely had to do anything to make it work. For small, bootstrapped teams like ours, it's so important to spot churn risks early, and now we can do that quickly and easily. Looking forward to see how this grows down the road (e.g. custom events/activity tracking other than logins), but it's already been valuable for us. Big fans of Profitwell, keep it up!

@conarro Thanks Kyle! You got that right, we've got so much more coming to expand this even further later this year. Appreciate the support and feedback!

Engagement metrics upped the game in Saas metrics for sure.

Pros:

Helps identify likely to covert trials and at-risk MRR

Cons:

Once you get started digging through your data, you'll be addicted

I'm super excited to start seeing our numbers once the month of engagement data comes through. This seems like a super simple overview of engagement vs revenue metrics that I've wanted to work out for ages. Also a big shout-out to ProfitWell's fantastic customer engagement; I really appreciate their genuine interest in solving customer problems and discussing product improvements. Keep it up!

Early Beta Tester here! I like the predictive measures it shares, how many are active and how many people are active and how that looks compared to your MRR. Great addition to ProfitWell.. especially because it's FREE!

Pros:

Easy to implement, great to atribute engagement to MRR and to see how active users are on your platform.

Cons:

Since it's free, there's literally nothing I can be upset about.. HA!

@neel_desai @shaqgould Nice! We believe making cash when you make cash (Price Intelligently, Retain, etc.) is a better model, so keep enjoying. Crazy more amount of value coming soon, too.
Shaquille Gould
@patticus @neel_desai Maybe adding in Monthly Burn? Also a calculator that shows runway remaining based on your current burn rate & MRR.

Thanks for great free product.

Pros:

Great UI and very useful statics. Good support and easy integration with well documented API. And all is free! Great work!

Cons:

None

Laura Simmons

I've been impressed with ProfitWell since I have started using them. Even if you don't want to use their product, they put out really great content.

Pros:

Easy to manage MRR/ARR, accurate customer count, easy to upgrade/ downgrade customers based on changes in their plan, great reporting!

Cons:

A customer can't pay $0 so the customer count is off b/w SFDC & PW for customers that we have a partnership with in exchange for software.
