Cohort revenue analysis groups customers by the period in which they made their first Stripe payment and tracks the revenue each cohort generates over subsequent months. It reveals how monetisation and retention evolve for different acquisition vintages.
Why cohort revenue analysis matters for Stripe users
Aggregate revenue figures can mask deteriorating unit economics. Cohort analysis exposes whether newer customers spend as much as earlier ones and whether retention is improving or declining over time.
Stripe users can overlay cohort curves with product launches, pricing changes, and marketing campaigns to attribute revenue shifts to specific initiatives and make data-driven investment decisions.

Customer Lifetime Value
PaymentsMetric Definition
LTV = Average Revenue Per Customer × Average Customer Lifespan
Customer lifetime value (LTV) estimates the total revenue a customer will generate across all transactions over their relationship. For Stripe users, it aggregates both one-time and recurring payments into a comprehensive value figure.
Revenue Per Customer
PaymentsMetric Definition
Revenue Per Customer = Total Revenue / Unique Paying Customers
Revenue per customer divides total revenue by the number of unique paying customers. It captures how effectively you monetise each customer relationship through pricing, upselling, and cross-selling.
Subscription Churn Rate
PaymentsMetric Definition
Subscription Churn Rate = (Cancelled Subscriptions / Start-of-Period Subscriptions) × 100
Subscription churn rate is the percentage of active subscriptions that are cancelled within a given period. It measures the rate of subscriber attrition and is a core indicator of product-market fit and customer satisfaction.
Revenue Growth Rate
PaymentsMetric Definition
Revenue Growth Rate = ((Current Period Revenue - Prior Period Revenue) / Prior Period Revenue) × 100
Revenue growth rate measures the percentage change in total revenue between periods. It captures the combined effect of new customer acquisition, existing customer expansion, and churn on overall revenue trajectory.
