Frequently Asked Questions
What is customer growth rate?
Customer growth rate measures the percentage change in your total customer count over a given period. Formula: ((New Count − Old Count) ÷ Old Count) × 100. It's a leading indicator of ARR growth — customer count growth today becomes ARR growth in future periods.
Customer growth vs revenue growth — which matters more?
Both matter, but they tell different stories. Customer growth is a leading indicator. Revenue growth lags customer growth by the billing cycle. If customer growth is slowing before revenue growth, it's an early warning. If revenue grows faster than customers, ACV is increasing — a positive sign.
Should I track net or gross customer growth?
Track both. Gross new customers shows acquisition momentum. Net growth (new minus churned) shows retention quality. A company adding 100 customers but losing 90 has strong acquisition but a serious retention problem.
