Ehsan's Insight
Logo churn (percentage of customers lost) and revenue churn (percentage of revenue lost) tell different stories. A company losing 20 small customers (logo churn: 10%) but retaining all enterprise accounts might have revenue churn of only 2%. Conversely, losing one enterprise customer can mean 1% logo churn but 15% revenue churn. Most companies report whichever number looks better. The honest practice: report both. If your logo churn is high but revenue churn is low, you have a product-market fit problem at the low end but a strong enterprise product. If your logo churn is low but revenue churn is high, you have a whale dependency problem that one lost account will expose.
