The Recurly subscription management platform opens to a personalized dashboard for ReelFlix, a subscription-based streaming business. The left-hand navigation displays Recurly's full product suite — Dashboard, Customers, Compass, Analytics, Configuration, Integrations, Admin, Support, and Settings — giving teams a centralized hub to manage every aspect of their subscription business. At a glance, key metrics populate the screen: total active subscribers, churn rate, top subscription plans, net subscriber change benchmarks, and monthly recurring revenue.
The dashboard highlights the Total Active Subscribers metric at 2,741,934 — trending upward by 10% — alongside a Churn Rate of 2.41%, down 7.12%. A smooth amber trend line charts the decline in churn over time, visualizing improved subscriber retention. The Top Plans by Subscriptions donut chart breaks down the subscriber mix across Basic Monthly, Standard Monthly, Premium Monthly, Standard Annual, and Premium Annual tiers, giving revenue teams instant visibility into which plans are driving growth.
The Net Subscriber Change benchmark chart compares subscriber growth against the industry median across a full calendar year, with Recurly's benchmark ratings consistently outperforming peers. The Monthly Recurring Revenue bar chart tracks MRR performance month over month from January through December, making it easy to identify seasonal trends in recurring subscription revenue.
As the dashboard animates through its key metrics, the Compass AI Assistant is introduced — described as "Your AI-powered co-pilot for quick, reliable answers across the Recurly platform." Accessible directly from the dashboard, Compass delivers instant AI-driven insights that help subscription teams make faster, more informed decisions.
