SaaS Metrics
SaaS Metrics are key performance indicators (KPIs) specifically designed to measure the health, growth, and financial performance of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) businesses. They focus on recurring revenue, customer acquisition, retention, and profitability, helping companies track subscription-based models effectively. Common metrics include Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR), Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), and Churn Rate.
Developers should learn SaaS Metrics when building or maintaining SaaS products to understand business impact, optimize features for revenue and retention, and communicate effectively with stakeholders. This is crucial for roles in product development, growth engineering, or startups where aligning technical work with business goals drives success.
