Interpretation

An increase in upgrade MRR indicates your product is scaling as your customer's scale. When you have the right set of features in all your plans and are constantly adding valuable new features, it encourages your customers to upgrade. If this number is not increasing, you are probably offering too much value in the lower plans and your customers don't have a reason to upgrade. You'll have to revisit your plans and pricing. Added hint - Analysing churn numbers will tell you if there is a value problem (high churn, low upgrades) or a pricing problem (low churn, low upgrades)
