Acquire Signups
New signups equal marketing spend divided by CAC, then split between trials and direct paid.
This editable five-year Excel workbook models subscription cohorts, pricing, usage, costs, scenarios, and linked financial statements with monthly and annual detail.
Use the model to plan customer acquisition, trial conversion, paid subscriptions, churn, pricing, usage charges, operating costs, staffing, and funding needs.
Editable assumptions flow through monthly calculations into revenue, profitability, cash flow, balance sheet, scenario comparisons, and management reporting.
The model converts marketing-driven signups into paid subscriber cohorts, applies churn and plan pricing, then adds enabled usage, setup, and add-on revenue.
New signups equal marketing spend divided by CAC, then split between trials and direct paid.
After the trial lag, prior trial cohorts convert and combine with current direct-paid activations.
Paid activations are allocated by plan and added to prior subscribers after churn.
Active subscribers generate tier MRR, with enabled usage, setup fees, boxes, and add-ons layered separately.
Monthly recognized revenue sums enabled layers, while annual revenue is the sum of monthly revenue.
The Revenue Assumptions view brings acquisition, trials, customer lifetimes, plan mix, pricing, and usage drivers together for the subscription forecast.

The COGS & Operational Expenses view separates direct costs, variable expenses, and fixed expenses across forecast periods for operating planning.

This template turned a vague deck into a clean model investors could follow, so I stopped second-guessing what to show. It saved me hours and helped us book a faster follow-up with our lead.
Pricing, costs, and growth were finally in one place, and I could see every assumption without digging through messy tabs. I finished the forecast in an afternoon instead of spending days sorting it out.
I’m not an Excel power user, but this model made the advanced pieces easy to work with. I updated the tabs myself and sent a clean version to our team without hiring extra help.
