Interpretation
ARPS is a key indicator. It is necessary to maximize this number by driving Customers to move to a higher priced Plans. Increasing pricing once a year helps improve ARPS. Increasing ARPS directly increases Total MRR without having to add new Customers.
Example: In a given period, Average Revenue Per Subscription is calculated as:
