Frequently asked
How is a subscription box model different from SaaS?
It shares recurring revenue and churn mechanics with SaaS, but every shipment has real product, fulfillment, and shipping cost — so contribution margin is much lower and inventory and cash timing matter far more.
What churn rate is normal for a subscription box?
Physical subscription boxes typically see 5–10% monthly churn — higher than software — so acquisition efficiency and early-cohort retention are critical.
