Acquire Signups
Marketing spend divided by CAC creates signups split between free trials and direct-paid starts.
This editable five-year Excel or Google Sheets model forecasts subscriber acquisition, subscription and usage revenue, costs, cash flow, balance sheet, and scenario outcomes.
Use the workbook to plan how marketing, trials, paid conversion, churn, plan mix, pricing, usage, and setup fees translate into timestamping revenue and financial results.
Editable assumptions feed linked monthly calculations, financial statements, scenario comparisons, and management reports so operating changes flow through the forecast consistently.
Marketing spend and CAC create signups, trials convert after a lag, paid activations join plan cohorts, churn reduces subscribers, and pricing builds recognized revenue.
Marketing spend divided by CAC creates signups split between free trials and direct-paid starts.
Earlier trial cohorts convert after the trial lag and join current direct-paid activations.
Paid activations split across plans while prior subscribers roll forward after churn.
Active subscribers multiply by monthly plan prices; ARR is a run-rate KPI only.
Monthly subscriptions, usage, setup fees, and enabled add-ons sum into annual recognized revenue.
The Revenue worksheet connects launch timing, marketing, CAC, trials, paid conversion, plan mix, churn, pricing, usage, and setup fees to subscription revenue.

Building the model by hand was eating up whole afternoons, and this template cut that down right away. I had the first pass ready in under an hour, which freed me up to focus on the deal itself.
My pricing, cost, and growth inputs were all over the place before I used this. Now everything sits in one place, and I could explain the assumptions to my partner without reworking the sheet.
I used to bounce between files for statements and charts, which made updates messy. This template pulled the reporting together, and I booked a lender call the same day because the numbers were finally easy to follow.
