This metric measures the total number of subscription signups.
Explanation of metric
This metric tracks the number of registrations over a specific period. It includes both trend analysis and point-in-time indicators. The trend line shows the number of signups during a period, while the point-in-time KPI indicates the number of signups in the current period, variance with the previous period, and percentage change across the current and previous periods. This metric helps understand user acquisition and growth.
How it's measured
Total Signups = Total number of registrations during the period.
Reading
An upward trend in Total Signups indicates growth in committed revenue and a positive acquisition trend.
Interpretation
Increasing signups directly correlate with revenue growth. Signups are a key indicator of the health of acquisition sources and overall business growth.
Example

Source A:
Source B:
Source C:
Total Signups: 400
Total Signups for the period: 600 (Source A) + 500 (Source B) + 400 (Source C) = 1,500
This metric measures the total number of subscription signups segmented by days of the week.
Explanation of metric

The Trial Conversion Rate measures the percentage of total subscription trials started during the currently active period.
Explanation of metric
This metric is represented by a chart depicting the percentage of trials converted to paid subscriptions during the period. A point-in-time KPI is also available, showing the percentage of total trial subscriptions in the current period, along with variance from the previous period and percentage change across both periods.
How it's measured
Trial Conversion Rate = (Number of subscription trials that started during the period and are currently Active) / (Total number of subscription trials that started during the period)
Only the current status of subscriptions is considered for trial conversion. Therefore, a subscription that was converted from trial to active and then canceled may not be considered for the trial conversion rate metric as its current status will be canceled.
Reading
An upward trend indicates growth in committed revenue and suggests that more trial users are converting to paid subscriptions.
Interpretation
This metric helps measure the effectiveness of the trial period in converting users to paid subscriptions, reflecting the product's value and the users' readiness to pay. It also evaluates the performance of the trial conversion process.

How it's measured
Total Subscriptions Trials = Number of subscriptions in trial status during the period.
Reading
There are no specific upward or downward trend indications.
Interpretation
Subscriptions in the trial state represent potential leads interested in the product. If any trial subscriptions are not converting to paid subscriptions, it may indicate a need to better understand customer requirements and optimize the trial conversion process. Enhancing the trial experience to demonstrate the product's value can help convert trial users to paying customers more efficiently. This metric aids in identifying opportunities to shorten the trial-to-paid conversion time.
Example
In a given period, if 500 subscriptions were in trial status, then total subscription trials = 500.
The New Trial Subscriptions metric measures the total number of trial subscriptions that started during the specified period.
Explanation of metric
This metric is represented by a trend line depicting the total number of new trials initiated during the period.

This metric helps evaluate the effectiveness of customer onboarding processes, marketing campaigns, and incentive programs. Analyzing new trial data can provide insights into lead generation success and the potential for converting these trials into paid subscriptions.
Example
In Q3, a SaaS company recorded 2,300 new trial subscriptions across various marketing channels:
Direct Website Signups:
These signups came directly from the company's website.
Social Media Campaigns:
This was attributed to a targeted campaign that increased engagement and trial starts.

This includes subscriptions that are converted from IN TRIAL to Paid and Future scheduled activations. Reactivations within the same activation period are also considered.
Reading
An upward trend in New MRR indicates growth in committed revenue and suggests successful acquisition and conversion of new subscriptions.
Interpretation
New MRR is a critical metric for understanding the impact of new subscriptions on Monthly Recurring Revenue. It highlights how new customer acquisitions contribute to revenue growth. If New MRR and Expansion MRR are less than Churn, it signals a shrinking MRR. Conversely, higher New MRR and Expansion MRR than Churn indicate MRR growth.
Example

Summary of activations categorized based on the time taken to activate a subscription post-signup.
Explanation of metric
A table displays the distribution of activations over the last 12 months, segmented into various time buckets based on the duration from signup to activation. Time buckets might include ranges such as 0-7 days, 8-30 days, and so on, based on the signup date.
How it's measured
Activation Lead Time Summary = Total number of subscriptions segmented by the time taken for activation after sign up.
Signup is considered to be a minimum of the creation date, activation date, and first invoice date.
Reading
An upward trend indicates growth in committed revenue.
Interpretation
A rise in this metric indicates that users may take longer to recognize the product's value, leading to a delay in activation. If the time to activate increases, users might need more time to fully appreciate the product's value or experience hurdles in onboarding. This information can improve the activation process and reduce the time for new customers to use the product fully.
Example
If a summary shows:
50 subscriptions activated within 0-7 days
100 subscriptions activated within 8-30 days
25 subscriptions activated in more than 30 days

Explanation of metric
A point-in-time KPI representing the average duration required to activate a subscription after the initial signup. This metric also shows changes in the activation lead time from the previous period and the percentage change across different periods.
How it's measured
Average Activation Lead Time = Average number of days to activate a subscription in a year.
Reading
A downward trend suggests a decrease in lead time, which is favorable and indicates improvements.
Interpretation
A decrease in the average activation lead time is beneficial as it indicates that users quickly understand and engage with the product. This metric reflects the efficiency of the onboarding process and the clarity of the product's value proposition. Reducing lead time simplifies the user journey from trial to paid subscription, enhancing customer experience and reducing early-stage churn and same-month cancellations. Conversely, an increase in lead time suggests users struggle to realize the product's value, necessitating improvements in the onboarding process or simplifying plans and pricing.
Example
Suppose the average activation lead time in the current period is 10 days, compared to 12 days in the previous period. In that case, this indicates a positive trend in reducing the time taken to activate subscriptions.
