Acquire Signups
Marketing spend ÷ CAC creates signups split between free trials and direct-paid starts.
It is an editable five-year Excel and Google Sheets model for subscriber growth, monetization, scenarios, and linked financial statements.
Use the workbook to plan how marketing spend, trial conversion, churn, plan mix, pricing, and optional monetization layers shape revenue and cash performance.
Editable operating assumptions feed the monthly calculation engine, which rolls customer cohorts into revenue and the model’s financial and management outputs.
It converts marketing-driven signups into paid subscriber cohorts, applies churn and tier pricing, then adds enabled usage, setup, box, and add-on revenue.
Marketing spend ÷ CAC creates signups split between free trials and direct-paid starts.
Lagged trial cohorts convert at the trial-to-paid rate, then current direct-paid activations are added.
Paid activations split by plan, while active subscribers roll forward after monthly churn.
Tier subscribers generate subscriptions, plus enabled usage, setup, box, and add-on revenue.
Monthly recognized revenue layers sum to annual revenue while ARR remains a run-rate KPI.
The Revenue Assumptions view organizes acquisition, trial conversion, customer allocation, pricing, setup fees, usage charges, and subscriber metrics in one operating schedule.

Our statements and charts were scattered everywhere before this, and now everything sits in one place. I saved about 6 hours the first week just pulling clean updates for our team review.
I couldn’t tell what investors expected until I used this template. The structure made the outputs obvious, and I had a cleaner draft ready for a meeting in one afternoon.
The profitability tabs made our margin picture much easier to follow. I spotted our break-even point faster and cut two rounds of manual spreadsheet checks.
