SaaStr: Canva 'Stealth Churn' — 8-Year Power User Defecting to AI Specialists as Warning to Every B2B Vendor
SaaStr's Jason Lemkin reports he hasn't opened Canva in months despite being a paying customer for 8+ years, having replaced individual workflows with Opus Pro (video clipping), Higgsfield (short-form video), Gamma (sales decks), and Claude (charts). He calls 'stealth churn' the single biggest threat facing B2B vendors in 2026 — power users quietly stop using the product while still appearing as healthy retained customers in NPS and usage metrics. Canva's B2B segment is $500M ARR doubling YoY, but this pattern suggests the most engaged users are the first to discover and adopt AI-native specialty tools.
