Definition

What it means

ARPU shows how much each customer contributes. It rises through higher prices, upgrades and add-ons. Compare across segments, since averages can hide very different groups.

Monetization

Why it matters, with an example

It shows whether you grow by adding customers or by earning more from each one.

For example: $12,000 of revenue from 300 accounts in a month gives an ARPU of $12,000 / 300 = $40.
