Short answer
Revenue churn is the percentage of recurring revenue lost from cancellations and downgrades in a period. Gross revenue churn counts only losses, while net revenue churn offsets them with expansion from remaining customers. It often matters more than customer counts, because losing a few large accounts can hurt more than losing many small ones.
