What is the New Subscribers Metric?
The New Subscribers metric represents the number of first-time subscribers who activated a subscription during a given period. This metric focuses on the acquisition of entirely new customers, excluding returning subscribers (winbacks) and additional subscriptions from existing active users.
You can find it in the Cleeng Dashboard under Analytics > Active Subscriber Movement.
How is it Calculated?
The calculation is a simple count:
New Subscribers = Count of first-time subscribers who activated a subscription during the specified period.
This involves identifying and counting only those subscribers who are new to your platform and have activated their first subscription.
