Growth Metrics That Actually Matter for SaaS Businesses

You can measure a hundred metrics and still not understand your business. Focus on the metrics that drive decisions.

The Essential Metrics

  • MRR/ARR — Monthly/Annual Recurring Revenue and growth rate
  • Net Revenue Retention — Are existing customers growing or shrinking?
  • CAC — Customer Acquisition Cost and payback period
  • LTV — Customer Lifetime Value and LTV:CAC ratio
  • Gross Margin — Revenue minus cost of delivery
  • Logo Churn vs Revenue Churn — Not all churn is equal

TrueValue dashboards track all of these automatically when you use the CRM and billing modules together.
