Segment Overview

Individual users who subscribe directly via the App Store, Google Play, or web (Chargebee). Primary market is DACH. See markets for geographic detail.

Primary Audience (2026 Strategic Anchor)

Women aged 40-60 is the explicit 2026 growth target. The positioning describes this group as:

  • Values trust, prevention, and “Made in Germany” credibility.
  • Strong affinity for health insurance integration, scientific validation, reliable non-hype offers.
  • Concrete needs: menopause, chronic stress, caregiving, life transitions.
  • Strategically scalable, already aligned with brand and product, retention potential not fully realized.

A secondary, longer-term audience track targets younger users via adapted formats and tonality, without diluting the core trust-based positioning.

Personas (Brand Strategy)

Three personas remain in the brand documentation. They predate the 2026 audience sharpening but still inform content strategy:

  • Stability Seeker: struggles with stress and overthinking. Wants temporary relaxation and mental space within daily responsibilities. (Closest match to the 2026 primary 40-60 segment.)
  • Growth Enthusiast: motivated by self-improvement and productivity gains. Wants tools that fit a busy lifestyle.
  • Mindfulness Lover: values meditation and mindfulness deeply. Wants engaging content and supportive features for a consistent practice.

Pricing

The product is subscription-only. Subscription pricing is configured per market in Chargebee and the app stores.

  • iOS subscription group: multi.7mind.apple.sub. Annual plan id: multi.7mind.apple.sub.yearly, plus a monthly plan.
  • Trial: the current default is no trial. The team has actively A/B tested 3-day and 7-day trials (both increased 12M subscription share, +8% and +10% respectively), and ran a paid-social experiment at €4.99 with no trial communication. Trial strategy is still being iterated.
  • Free / Basis tier: exists as a fallback but is not actively promoted.
  • TBD — current public price points and any active winback or promotional pricing. Specific figures are tracked live in the SKU overview database and should be read from there rather than copied here.

Retention and Churn

Retention is a known concern. A “High cancellation rate 2026” investigation has been running. Specifics that inform engineering decisions:

  • Churn risk is highest in the early weeks. Sister product Gymondo’s diagnosis identifies weeks 2-5 as the vulnerable window. 7Mind activation work (focus area 1 in roadmap-context) targets the first 7 days specifically.
  • Dunning status appears in retention reports; a residual portion of dunning users do recover but most do not.
  • Acquisition channel attribution (Performance, Non-Paid, CRM) works in marketing reports; subscription interval attribution had a known data gap post-2026-02-27 for Chargebee yearly B2C subscriptions (see “subscription_interval NULL” investigation).

A “Churned Voices Initiative” actively interviews users who have discontinued, to feed reasoning back to the product team.

Acquisition Channels

The Channels Acquisition database in Notion is the live source. Channels in active use:

  • Performance marketing (paid social, paid search)
  • Non-Paid (organic / SEO / app store)
  • CRM (email, in-app messaging via Braze)
  • Referral / partner-driven acquisition (overlaps with b2b2c)

The 2026 acquisition strategy emphasizes lowering funnel friction, experimenting with pricing, exploring a freemium model test, and building healthcare partnerships. A longer-term ambition is distribution via AI LLMs.

Engineering-Relevant Notes

  • Subscriptions flow through Chargebee for web, Apple StoreKit for iOS, Google Play Billing for Android. Subscription state reconciliation matters for retention reporting and dunning.
  • The marketing_report table in BigQuery is the source of truth for cohort retention. Watch for schema drift on service_fact and unmatched SKUs (referenced in recent dbt test failures).
  • Per-country pricing for INT lives in a Google Sheet referenced from the Gymondo Pricing Roadmap doc. DACH pricing is the active 2026 focus.
