How to boost User Retention in SaaS products? Top Strategies and Mistakes to Avoid

Question

User retention has become a key success metric for SaaS products.
Acquiring a new user is more costly than retaining an existing one, so loyalty efforts are essential.

What really helps clients stay on a platform and actively engage with it? Should you focus on gamification, integrations, or improving customer support?
Share your experience: what helps your product reduce user churn?

I don't think there's a one fit all solution. From my experience, churn mostly comes from :
- low quality product (bug ...)
- under delivering on the promise
- bad acquisition

You need to talk to your customer and analyse how they use your product to identify the best way to reduce churn in your scenario
