FirstDistro

FirstDistro watches for silent churn: the accounts that stop logging in long before anyone files a ticket. It hands a lean CS team one list, who needs you this week, instead of a customer success platform to administer. Free up to 50 accounts, then $49 a month.

What is FirstDistro?

You install FirstDistro with npm, or point an AI assistant at it and let MCP do the setup. From there it reads usage and behaviour, scores account health, and flags the accounts drifting towards the exit while there is still time to do something about it.

The problem it is built for is silent churn. Most accounts never complain before they leave, they just go quiet, and nobody running support for two hundred customers on their own can watch every one of them by hand. FirstDistro sorts that into a single answer: who needs you this week. It drafts the outreach with the account's own context attached and then watches for a reply, so the follow-up does not die in a drafts folder.

Pricing decides who this is really for. It is free up to 50 accounts, then Pro at 49 dollars a month, which puts it in reach of a founder still doing customer success themselves or a CS team of one or two. That is a different buyer from the enterprise customer success suites it sits next to in this category, and the product is scoped to match: health, journeys and outreach, not a platform you spend a quarter configuring.

What can FirstDistro actually do?

  • Real-time health radar across every account
  • Key journeys with funnel metrics (started, completed, failed), completion rates, and the customers stuck partway through
  • AI-drafted outreach that carries the account context, with reply monitoring
  • Integrations: Slack alerts, two-way HubSpot and Attio sync
  • Setup by npm, or by MCP if you would rather let Claude Code or Cursor do it

Who should use FirstDistro?

A tool will not fix churn you have not diagnosed

Buying software is a reasonable second step. The first one is knowing which part of your churn is voluntary, which part is failed payments, and what the people who left did differently in their first month. I work that out and send you three fixes ranked by what they are worth, in writing, within 10 working days.

  • ✓ Your churn split by cause, with dollars on each
  • ✓ Three fixes, ranked, with expected recovery
  • ✓ The advice that does not apply to you
  • ✓ Fixed price, no call required
