RetainSure has put our customer success program on steroids. Preparing MBRs used to take up the entire last week of the month, but now it's down to just 2 minutes per customer. The AI gives us everything we need, data, insights, and next steps, so our team can focus on driving real outcomes.

Upsell is a key motion for our CS team, especially with our self-serve customers, but doing it at scale was always a challenge. RetainSure's upsell predictions changed that. It helped us zero in on high-potential accounts and even gave us personalized email drafts. We saw a 20x ROI from just the first month of using it.

FAQ

RetainSure vs. ChurnZero: common questions

ChurnZero's ChurnScore is user-configured, your team selects which metrics feed it and how they're weighted. Useful, but it requires someone to own the model and maintain it as your product and customer behaviours change. RetainSure's ML model learns from your actual data and builds the risk signal without manual configuration. You don't need a CS ops person to make the prediction accurate.
ChurnZero's AI Marketplace agents are powerful but credits-based, they're add-ons you pay for per execution, not included in your base subscription. RetainSure's multi-agent AI is the product itself. Every account summary, churn signal, and QBR draft runs through the same orchestrated agent layer with no credits meter running.
RetainSure goes live in 2 weeks on average. ChurnZero implementations run 4–8 weeks and typically require a part-time ops resource for setup. Both are faster than Gainsight. If getting to your first churn signal before the end of this month matters, RetainSure gets you there first.
That's exactly who RetainSure is built for. Churn prediction works without someone to configure and maintain a scoring model. Your CSMs get accurate risk signals from day one. ChurnZero gives you more manual control if you have a dedicated CS ops function, but if you don't, RetainSure removes that dependency entirely.
It's worth factoring in. Acquisitions in B2B SaaS typically mean roadmap priorities shift toward the acquiring company's product portfolio and growth targets. ChurnZero was an independent, CS-focused company. SaaS Labs is a broader communications platform business. How that shapes ChurnZero's CS product roadmap over the next 2–3 years is genuinely uncertain. RetainSure is a purpose-built CS platform with a single roadmap.
