ChartMogul’s analysis of 2,500+ SaaS firms shows customers are 3‑4× more likely to switch to an annual plan in month 2 than in month 9. Prompting the upgrade early—framed as an investment rather than a discount—boosts net revenue retention by 10‑20 percentage points and accelerates growth, especially for products with strong monthly adoption.
