Practical Examples of SaaS Average Revenue Per User (ARPU)
- Example 1: Trello offers a complimentary version that is widely employed by small businesses for managing projects. If Trello has 1,000 users on the free plan and generates a revenue of $10,000 from additional premium features, the ARPU is calculated as $10,000 / 1,000 users = $10 ARPU.
- Example 2: An online marketing agency utilizes Trello’s Strategy AI to enhance project management efficiency. Assuming the agency contributes $300 monthly for advanced features across 5 users, the ARPU for these additional services would be $300 / 5 users = $60 ARPU.
- Example 3: Considering broader use in marketing, if 500 enterprises use Trello for organizing content and each pays an average of $50 per month, then the total monthly revenue is 500 x $50 = $25,000, resulting in ARPU of $25,000 / 500 = $50.
