The editable five-year workbook models two-sided acquisition, buyer ordering, marketplace monetization, monthly and annual statements, scenario analysis, and management reporting.
Use the model to plan how separate seller and buyer acquisition, tier behavior, order activity, commissions, subscriptions, and seller extras shape the business forecast.
Editable assumptions flow through the monthly calculation engine into financial statements, scenario comparisons, and dashboard outputs, so operating changes can be reviewed across the forecast.
Marketplace logic firstGMV is calculated from buyer orders and AOV, while revenue comes from commissions, subscriptions, and seller extras.
TWO-SIDED MARKETPLACE REVENUE ENGINE
How Does the Niche Dating App Calculate Revenue?
The model acquires sellers and buyers separately, carries tier cohorts forward, calculates buyer orders and GMV, then monetizes commissions, subscriptions, and seller extras monthly.
01
Acquire Both Sides
New sellers and buyers equal their separate acquisition budgets divided by the applicable CAC.
02
Build Tier Cohorts
Allocate each side by tier mix and retain cohorts for each tier lifetime.
03
Calculate Orders
Buyer orders combine initial orders from new buyers with repeat orders from eligible active cohorts.
04
Monetize Activity
Calculate GMV from orders and AOV, then add commissions, subscriptions, and enabled seller extras.
05
Total Revenue
Monthly marketplace revenue equals commission revenue plus seller subscriptions, buyer subscriptions, and seller extras.
The Revenue worksheet separates seller and buyer acquisition, tier cohorts, repeat orders, order values, commissions, subscriptions, and seller extras for monthly modeling.
REVENUE
The Revenue view shows acquisition, cohort, order, pricing, commission, subscription, and extra-fee inputs.

PRODUCT FIT
Is the Niche Dating App Financial Model Right for You?
The ready-made model fits this marketplace mechanic when its acquisition, cohort, order, and monetization structure matches your plan; structural differences may require custom modeling.
READY-MADE MODEL
A Good Fit
You use separate seller and buyer acquisition budgets with CAC-driven acquisition.
You segment sellers and buyers into tiers with defined cohort lifetimes.
You model buyer orders from new activity plus repeat eligible cohorts.
You monetize commissions, subscriptions, and enabled seller extras by month.
CUSTOM STRUCTURE
Consider Custom Modeling
Your revenue logic does not use the seller-and-buyer marketplace structure.
You require operating schedules beyond the current workbook modules.
You need different cohort, pricing, or transaction mechanics than the supplied assumptions.
You need reporting structured differently from the current statements and management views.
The template is a planning starting point, not a guarantee of performance.
