Samantha runs GrowTech, a SaaS startup that relies on a mix of paid and organic traffic to bring in customers.
With acquisition costs rising and churn always a factor, she needs a clear plan.
How many visitors will convert? Churn? What happens if she adjusts pricing or ad spend? Every decision impacts growth, and she needs to see the bigger picture.
The SaaS Growth Model helps subscription businesses forecast customer acquisition, churn, and revenue growth. Every adjustment in ad spend, conversion rates, or pricing directly impacts long-term revenue, making it essential to plan ahead.
With whatifi’s decision tech, SaaS teams can model different acquisition and retention strategies to see how key factors influence growth. This scenario enables users to:
✅ Simulate conversion funnels—predict how ad spend, organic traffic, and trial sign-ups convert into paying customers
✅ Analyze churn impact—understand how retention strategies affect long-term revenue
✅ Compare pricing models—adjust subscription costs and see the effect on revenue and adoption
✅ Optimize ad spend allocation—test different marketing investments and balance paid vs. organic growth
By testing strategies before execution, SaaS teams can make data-driven decisions, maximize ROI, and scale more effectively.
