Subscribers

The Subscribers metric counts the number of paid or non-paid users who have periodic access to a product or service. Most often, this metric refers to a subscription-based business model, for example, newspapers, magazines, phone, internet service, the use of software-as-a-service (SaaS), or even access to seasonal theatre performance.

Tickets

Customer Issues, tickets, or incidents, refers to the capture of user or system initiated requests. These might include help requests, bug or error reports, events or alarms, feature requests, complaints or any type of other feedback. Generally we think of user generated issues first, but increasingly with the use of software and connected devices, these incident reports are being generated automatically.

Total Contract Value

Total Contract Value (TCV) is the sum value of a contract over its life cycle. It takes into account not only the initial purchase price, but also any additional costs such as installation and maintenance fees that may be incurred over time. To calculate TCV, these costs must be added together to get an estimate of the total contract value over its life.

Transaction Recency

Transaction Recency measures the duration of time since a customer’s last purchase, indicating how recently repeat customers made previous purchases. It is a great way of measuring your business’s ability to bring back customers quickly and may vary based on industry and business model.

Trial Conversion Rate

Trial Conversion Rate measures the percentage of users that have converted to a paid account from a trial period. Commonly referred to as Free Trial to Paid Conversion Rate, this metric indicates product value by measuring the number of users that find enough value in the product to pay for it. Trial Conversion Rates vary based on the type of trial you use. In SaaS, the standard practice is to either have a freemium product or a free trial period that usually spans a couple weeks.

It is important to note that because the Video View metric definition varies across platforms, the Video View Through Rate baseline or benchmark may vary between platforms as well.
