Why SEOScaleUp beats spreadsheets & paid analytics
User growth questions answered
What growth rate should I use?+Use historical data if available. For early-stage startups, SaaS benchmarks: 5-15% monthly growth is strong, 15-30% is exceptional. Our scenario tool lets you test multiple rates.
What’s a healthy LTV:CAC ratio?+Target LTV:CAC > 3x. Below 3x means you’re spending too much to acquire customers. Above 5x means you may be under-investing in growth. Our calculator shows this ratio automatically.
How does churn affect my forecast?+Churn is the silent killer of growth. Even 3% monthly churn means you lose over 30% of your user base annually. Our churn modeler shows the dramatic impact on long-term users and revenue.
What’s a good viral coefficient?+A viral coefficient >1.0 means exponential growth (each user brings >1 new user). Most products have 0.1-0.5. Our calculator shows how many users come from referrals.
How do I calculate CAC correctly?+CAC = Total marketing & sales spend / New users acquired in the period. Include ad spend, salaries for growth team, software, and agency fees. Our calculator uses this formula.
What’s the difference between MRR and ARR?+MRR = Monthly Recurring Revenue. ARR = Annual Recurring Revenue = MRR × 12. ARR is the standard metric for SaaS valuation (typically 5-10x ARR).
How accurate are these forecasts?+Forecasts are as accurate as your inputs. Use historical data for best results. Our tool provides a range (conservative to aggressive) to account for uncertainty.
Can I use this for mobile apps or marketplaces?+Yes — works for any subscription or transaction-based business. For marketplaces, use average revenue per transacting user and churn as dropout rate.
