What is Average Revenue per Paying User?
Average Revenue per Paying User (ARPPU) is a very important metric for SaaS companies. It is calculated by dividing the total revenue generated by the total number of paying customers.
For example, if you have 100 paying customers and you generated $100,000 in revenue, your ARPPU is $1.00.
ARPPU is a very useful metric because it helps you determine how much money you are making per customer. It also helps you determine how much you can spend on acquiring new customers.
For example, if you have an ARPPU of $1.00 and you spend $0.50 on acquiring a new customer, you are spending $0.50 to make $1.00. This is a very good deal.
On the other hand, if you have an ARPPU of $1.00 and you spend $1.00 on acquiring a new customer, you are spending $1.00 to make $1.00. This is a very bad deal.
