SaaS Metrics
SaaS Metrics are key performance indicators (KPIs) specifically used to measure the financial health, growth, and operational performance of SaaS (Software as a Service) businesses. They provide insights into recurring revenue streams, customer acquisition efficiency, retention rates, and profitability. Important SaaS metrics include:

Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)
Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)
Customer Lifetime Value (CLV or LTV)
Churn Rate
Gross Margin

These metrics help founders, investors, and finance teams make data-driven decisions about pricing, marketing spend, product development, and expansion.
