The Real Problems
Why Traditional SaaS Activation Fails
The technology industry is built on broken psychology. Here's the data.
80% Abandon Onboarding
Only 19.2% complete setup. $360 CAC wasted per non-activated user. Problem: No psychological momentum. Solution: Endowed Progress starting at 30%.
75% Features Undiscovered
24.5% average adoption means your R&D investment goes to waste. Customers churn believing features don't exist.
4.2% Monthly Churn
Losing half your customers yearly. 5% churn reduction = 25-95% profit increase (HBR).
Developer Time Waste
97% lose 1 full day/week to inefficiencies. 61% spend 30+ min/day searching docs. 45% cite poor docs as #1 barrier. (Source: Stripe Developer Survey 2024)
CAC Crisis: 60% Increase
CAC increased 60% in 5 years to $200-600 per customer. 18-month payback (was 14 months). Retention costs 5x less than acquisition.
PLG Conversion Gap
5% free-to-paid conversion when benchmark is 12%+. Users don't hit 'aha moment' before trial expires.
