Margins Made Visible
Michael Reed, TX
This template made break-even and margin math easy to see, so I could spot the profit gap in under an hour instead of guessing. It gave me a clearer plan for pricing and costs before our lender call.
Assumptions Finally Stay Organized
Lauren Mitchell, FL
I had pricing, churn, and growth assumptions all over the place, but this model pulled everything into one clean setup. I saved a full day of cleanup and could explain the numbers without backtracking.
Easy Enough For Non-Modelers
Daniel Carter, CA
I’m not strong in advanced Excel, and this template kept the modeling straightforward. The inputs were easy to follow, and I finished a working forecast the same afternoon instead of hiring help.

MODEL BY MADA READY
Good Example
You are acquiring customers through marketing and CAC, with a free process and directly paid start.
You convert the test cohorts after a specified delay and assign paid customers to the subscription levels.
You expect recurring subscriptions with a lifetime or customer and a monthly price level.
You want a comparison of low/basic/high case and integrated financial statements and management reporting.
CUSTOMS STRUCTURE
Consider Custom Pattern
Your income depends on the significant differences in the logic of acquisition or conversion than the subscription cohorts.
You need clearing structures or operational schedules that differ from the subscription framework in the model.
You require notification, structure of the declaration or analysis of decisions beyond the established views of the workbook.
You need a model tailored to additional business rules, schedules or results specific to your business.
