Changelog

Every feature we've shipped. Built in public.

RetentionCheck turns raw cancellation feedback into a Churn Health Grade and ranked drivers. This page lists every meaningful change we've shipped since launch - new analyzer capabilities, integrations, pricing updates, and SEO content. Subscribe below to get each release in your inbox.

  1. feature

    Grade submissions auto-publish with inline result

    Pasting cancellation feedback at /grade/submit now returns the full Haiku 4.5 analysis inline: Churn Health Score with letter grade, summary, top 3 drivers with severity badges, and priority action. The public page goes live immediately at /grade/[slug] with a dofollow backlink and shareable OG card, no 24h manual review gate. Success state adds View your public page, Copy link, and Share on X CTAs plus a deep-analysis funnel to /try. Admin can still unpublish from /admin/grades; rate limit (2/IP/day plus 200 global breaker) and opt-in checkbox remain. Closes the dogfood gap from the 2026-05-16 CEO audit where the submitter waited 6s and received only a one-letter receipt.

  2. fix

    Build pipeline unblocked and footer trimmed

    Two quiet fixes that show up on the deploy side, not the product side. Vercel had started rejecting every push with ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH because a prior session regenerated pnpm-lock.yaml without the overrides block; rebuilt the lockfile under pnpm 10.x to restore it (PR #179). Public footer was also auto-emitting link rel=preload for four below-fold dofollow badges (neeed, toolfio, dang.ai), which triggered preloaded-but-not-used warnings on every page load; added loading=lazy plus decoding=async to drop the preload hints and quiet the console (PR #180).

  3. improvement

    Above-fold Notion teardown card redesigned

    The proof card on the home page is now a typographic newspaper-style report. Huge orange D as the headline, then 44/100 plus rank tease (Bottom 6 of 10 SaaS we graded), top 3 drivers with confidence scores, and a demoted HN source quote. Two CTAs: Run yours (deflects to the paste-box) and Share this grade (one-click X intent with quote-first tweet copy). Replaces a static PNG that had drifted out of sync with the source blog data. Drafted, scored, and iterated through 5 rounds with a 5-expert design braintrust before shipping.

  4. improvement

    Pricing migrated to recurring

    Public pricing is now Founder $99/mo or $950/yr (annual saves 20%) and Pro $249/mo or $2,390/yr. Lifetime sunsetted as a public tier, kept as a 50-seat warm-network promo gated behind a token. Existing pre-2026-05-07 lifetime customers grandfathered.

  5. improvement

    MCP server v0.6.2

    @retentioncheck/mcp-server@0.6.2 on npm. Startup telemetry now reports config_type (cloud / self-hosted / local), success bool, and error_message so install failures stop disappearing into the void.

  6. improvement

    Post-landing UI audit (16 fixes)

    Public nav gets a real mobile menu. Churn Report Card recheck button uses brand teal, share row collapses to icon-only on phones, and the export menu now uses a proper Radix dropdown with keyboard nav. FAQ + Testimonials swap heavy borders for shadow hover. Footer width matches nav.

  7. fix

    Analytics fixes + payment_completed event

    Fixed analysis_completed duration tracking, added payment_completed event with person properties on lifetime checkout, extended checkout_abandoned with plan/amount/source/step, and hardened MCP server startup telemetry with success/error capture.

  8. feature

    Churn Health Score

    Every analysis now ships with a 0-100 Churn Health Score so you can benchmark how bad your churn really is at a glance.

  9. improvement

    3-column pricing with Lifetime tier

    Redesigned pricing as Free / Pro / Lifetime. The Lifetime tier is capped at 100 seats, pay once, use forever.

  10. improvement

    Lifetime price bumped to $399

    First 25 lifetime customers got in at $199. We've raised the price to $399, still a steal for unlimited churn analysis.

  11. improvement

    Landing page overhaul

    New hero with live demo, pain-point cards, comparison table, inline pricing, and a founder note. Built to convert cold traffic.

  12. fix

    Stripe webhook hardening

    Fixed edge cases in checkout.session.completed and subscription.updated handling. Lifetime purchases now reliably flip the subscription row.

  13. feature
