The problem
Meridian's save flow was standard SaaS math: intent-to-cancel triggers a 20%-off-forever offer, ARPU on saved customers drops permanently, LTV/CAC ratios degrade quarter over quarter.
The setup
IncentivPay replaced the discount with an IP Cash grant equal to one month of subscription value, minted only on the specific renewal cycle. Price never changes. The customer stays at full ARPU, gets a one-time credit spendable in the Meridian marketplace.
The result
Cancellation dropped 26% vs. the discount-based control. ARPU on saved customers held steady. Net-revenue retention improved by 8 points. The finance team could finally model the save flow as a cost, not a permanent price cut.
