More about Average Revenue Per Account

The ARPA trend over time gives a perspective on the value of the company's products and services. Most industries are looking for an increase in the ARPA over time. Changes in ARPA can be a reflection of changes in prices, expansion or contraction within accounts, or even changes in initial purchases.

Comparing ARPA trends for different segments of accounts may also provide useful insights. For example, if you are focused on increasing overall revenue and want to increase the initial purchase value for new accounts, watching the trend of ARPA for new accounts gives great insight into progress towards your goal. Alternatively, if you have multiple product lines, segmenting by product line will help identify high or low revenue generating products.

If you have a freemium model, the free accounts are typically not included in the calculation.
