About Subbly
Subbly rebuilds churn prediction in-house — 68% more accurate, 3x lift on at-risk flagging — alongside steady AI Builder gains.
Subbly is doubling down on the two systems that matter most for subscription commerce: churn intelligence and AI-driven storefront building. The May 6 release replaced its third-party churn engine with an in-house model that's 68% more accurate and flags subscribers who actually churn at nearly 3x the rate. Cancellation now supports immediate or end-of-period semantics, account security adds biometric 2FA and anomaly detection, and AI Builder keeps adding capabilities — Skills, deeper subscription knowledge, an experimental design model, metafield generation.
