Trial Performance Report
This report provides a snapshot, as of the report period start date, showing details such as total sign ups for the trial, subscribers still in the trial, subscribers who converted to paid subscriptions from the trial, and active and passive churn for a given trial sign up period for all the billing plans that have a trial period. Billing Plans with a trial period include all active billing plans that have the first period marked as free. This report also presents progress for trials still under way while also presenting conversion ratios for completed trials.
