📊 SaaS METRICS SNAPSHOT - December 02, 2025

Market Performance
•SaaS stock valuation multiples have compressed significantly since the 2021 peak, with public median multiples now at approximately 5.5-7x revenue, down 65-70% from peak levels; private median multiples are around 4.1x, down 35% since 2021[3].
•Funding rounds continue to reflect cautious optimism, with AI-native SaaS companies commanding 20-40% valuation premiums and growing faster than traditional SaaS[3].
•ARR growth rates have declined overall, with a median growth rate of 26% in 2025, down from 60% in the top quartile in 2023 to 50% in 2024; AI-native SaaS companies grow at roughly 100% YoY, about twice the rate of traditional SaaS at 50%[1][3].

Key Industry Numbers
•Pricing models: Usage-based or hybrid pricing models are gaining traction, delivering 10% higher Net Revenue Retention (NRR) and 22% lower churn compared to per-seat models[3].
•Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC): The blended CAC ratio has increased by about 14% in 2024, reflecting rising costs to acquire new customers; however, blended CAC ratio decreased by 10% due to a higher mix of expansion ARR[1]. CAC efficiency remains a critical focus, with CAC benchmarks varying by Annual Contract Value (ACV) segment[1][2].
•Churn rate: The average monthly churn rate for B2B SaaS companies is around 3.5% in 2025, translating to an annual churn of approximately 8-10%, which is considered acceptable but still a key retention challenge[4][5].

Today's Notable Metrics
•No specific company announcements or new SaaS unicorn valuations were reported today (December 2, 2025) in the available data.
•Industry benchmarks highlight that AI-native SaaS companies reach $30M ARR in 20 months, 5x faster than traditional SaaS, and are 3.3x more likely to be outliers in growth and valuation[3].
•Recent research emphasizes ARR per employee > $300K as a strong indicator of operational efficiency and IPO readiness in 2025[3][2].
•The SaaS market is expected to reach $300 billion in spending by 2025, with AI adoption accelerating—over 95% of organizations will adopt AI-powered SaaS applications by year-end[4].

This snapshot underscores the ongoing market correction in valuation multiples, the rising importance of AI-enabled SaaS for growth and valuation premiums, and the critical focus on CAC efficiency and churn reduction for sustainable SaaS business models in 2025.
