Teams > Individuals in SaaS businesses

Teams > Individuals in SaaS businesses

SaaS companies make disproportionately more money with Team plans:

  1. Deal Sizes are bigger
  2. Retention is so much better. Once a team is collaborating in a product, no single user can easily make the decision to leave
  3. Seat Expansion. Successful Team products have “net negative churn,” meaning that expansion from retained accounts exceeds revenue lost from churned accounts.

Individual plans are the definition of a Leaky Bucket, with usual yearly churn rates of 50%. The Individual plan makes sense for enabling sharing and collaboration as soon as you can. But Teams are the ultimate destination.

B2B> B2C

B2C SaaS is limited to Individuals plans. The ability to offer Team plans is a major advantage of B2B SaaS. 

  • With only ~50% per year retention, these B2C SaaS businesses are effectively an arbitrage on marketing CAC (customer acquisition cost). There’s no long-term business. 
  • Netflix and Peloton are the exception as they have unique retention strategies.
  • Individual plans are a good business only when retention is unusually high (e.g. churn under 2% per month)

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
