Fix the service. Save The Business

ChurnZero vs PromiseSync: which helps SaaS leaders fix service faster?

ChurnZero is built to spot usage risks and prompt CSM action. That helps. But spotting risk is not the same as fixing service failures that break trust.
PromiseSync maps service breakdowns against behavioural signals. That points you straight to where investments stop churn and grow references.

How ChurnZero works

  • Focus: product usage, feature adoption and health scores

  • Strength: automated playbooks and in-app nudges.

  • Typical buyer: mid-market to growth CS teams with product telemetry.

  • Focus: service quality, complaint signals and behavioural psychology.

  • Strength: Proven frameworks (SERVQUAL, Peak-End) plus a clear investment map for leaders.

  • Typical buyer: founder-CEOs and boards who must show fast fixes before funding events.

How PromiseSync works

When ChurnZero is the right choice

  • You have deep product telemetry.

  • You want automation inside the product.

  • Your CS ops team can act on playbooks.

When PromiseSync is the right choice

  • Your churn is tied to complaints or lack of references.

  • You need a board-ready plan that prioritises investment.

  • You value behavioural insight that explains why customers leave.

Real example:

One company used product analytics and still missed the service breakdown in onboarding. The PromiseSync Method found three trust leaks. Fixes reduced complaints by 42% in 90 days and turned the most unhappy account into a references.

Quick verdict

If you want automation inside the product, ChurnZero helps. If you need to know where to spend to fix trust and get references, PromiseSync points the way.
