    Balancing User Autonomy with Business Retention at Lyca

    At Lyca, the auto-renewal feature for telecom plans boosted revenue but created user experience issues. Customers had to call support to disable it, leading to higher costs and frustration, which hurt brand trust. The goal was to introduce a self-service cancellation option, giving users more control while ensuring the business’s recurring revenue.
