What is the Renewal Rate?
The renewal rate tracks churn and retention down to the month of invoicing. Rather than track churn and renewals against your total customer count, you track renewals based on each cohort of monthly invoices.
For example, if I email one hundred invoices for Mar-XX renewals, I track who paid their invoice and who churned against the Mar-XX renewals, not against my total customer count.
