Average Revenue per Customer 

This metric provides the average monthly revenue generated by each active customer.

Explanation of metric

ARPC is calculated by dividing the total Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) for the period by the total number of active customers in the same period. This metric provides insight into the average revenue each active customer contributes.

How it's measured

Average Revenue per Customer (ARPC) = Total MRR in the period / Total active customers in the period.

Reading

An upward trend is favorable.

Interpretation

ARPC measures each active customer's average revenue within a specific period. It helps gauge the value derived from your customer base and can reveal trends in customer spending. A higher ARPC suggests successful upselling, cross-selling strategies, or increased customer value.

Example

If your business has a total MRR of $10,000 and 400 active customers in a month, the ARPC would be $10,000/400=$25 per customer.
This means, on average, each customer contributes $25 to your monthly revenue.


Average Revenue per Paid Customer 

This metric gives the average monthly revenue generated by each active paid customer.

Explanation of metric

ARPPC measures the average revenue generated by each active paid customer within a specific period. It is calculated by dividing the period's total Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) by the total number of active paid customers. Active paid customers have an overall MRR greater than zero in the defined period.

How it's measured

Average Revenue per Paid Customer (ARPPC) = Total MRR in the period / Total Active paid Customers in the period

Note

Active paid customers are defined as customers with an overall MRR >0 in the defined period.

Reading

An upward trend is favorable.

Interpretation

ARPPC helps understand the revenue contribution from paying customers, excluding those on free or trial plans. It provides insights into the revenue generated by paid subscriptions and helps in refining strategies to enhance profitability and customer value.

Example

If your total MRR is $100,000 with 2,000 active paid customers, the ARPPC would be = $100,000/2,000 = $50. This indicates that each active paid customer contributes, on average, $50 to your monthly revenue, guiding pricing and customer acquisition decisions.


Total Active Customers 

This metric provides the total number of customers with active subscriptions during a specific period.

Explanation of metric

A trend line depicts the total number of customers with active subscriptions. A point-in-time KPI also shows the total number of customers with active subscriptions for the current period and highlights the change and percentage of active customers compared to previous periods.

How it's measured

Total Active Customers = Number of customers with at least one active subscription during the period.

Note

This metric does not include trial subscriptions.

Reading

An upward trend is favorable.

Interpretation

Optimizing this metric through outreach programs or retention strategies is crucial for early-stage businesses. A decrease in active customers can indicate higher churn rates or a reduction in new acquisitions, which could impact overall revenue growth.

Example

If you have 1,200 customers with active subscriptions during the period, this reflects your current active customer base, guiding your strategy for customer engagement and retention.
