# SaaS and PLG - trials, activation, and churn defense

> Solutions · Industry

Trials, activation, feature adoption, and churn defense - orchestrated from product events on mobile and web, without an enterprise CEP timeline.

## The problem

PLG teams watch trials stall before the first value moment and churn signals appear too late in billing. Notification tools cannot model the product journey; enterprise CEPs take quarters to land.

## How Tappd helps

Tappd maps signup → activation → expansion → win-back onto live product events so growth owns the messaging while engineering only installs the SDK once.

## At a glance

- **Trial → paid** - Activation journeys
- **Feature adoption** - From product events
- **Churn defense** - Before renewal fails

## Capabilities

### Trial activation

Guide new workspaces to the aha moment before the clock runs out - push and in-app sequenced to setup gaps.

### Feature adoption

Nudge users who skipped the capability most correlated with retention.

### Expansion

Usage caps, invite milestones, and plan context trigger upgrade journeys.

### Churn defense

Dormancy segments for paying users with real history - not spray campaigns.

### Engineering leverage

One SDK; growth owns the rest. Approvals keep brand and pricing safe.

### Multi-product suites

Shared profiles help when users engage unevenly across your apps.

## Playbook: 14-day trial

A B2B SaaS trial converts poorly unless teams invite a teammate and create a first project.

### 1. Day 0–1

Onboarding journey to first project.

### 2. Day 3

If no invite_sent → in-app collaboration nudge.

### 3. Day 10

If still on trial without activation events → push + optional offer approval.

### 4. Day 14

Billing events from Stripe drive convert or expire branches.

## Who it’s for

- B2B and B2C SaaS with mobile companions
- PLG companies on Stripe or RevenueCat
- Growth + product pairs sharing activation OKRs

## FAQ

### We already use HubSpot / Customer.io - why Tappd?

Those tools shine on email and web. Tappd is built for real-time mobile push/in-app and email with A/B testing, dynamic variables, and experimentation - tied to product events and journeys. Complementary for many stacks; consolidatable when you want one canvas.

### How long to integrate?

Most teams install the SDK in about 10 minutes per platform, then iterate journeys without further releases.
