Freemium Business Model NotesOriginal filename: freemium model 1-2.xls General Notes This model provides a base template for modeling out a freemium web services business It uses a "cohort" approach and allows you to model churn and conversion behavior for monthly cohorts. The model works off of a concept of "active users" - i.e. someone who is coming to your site at least once to use system that month This has a simple user acquisition / growth approach; you can swap in a more complicated user growth model at the top that accounts for virality or marketing spend -- I only encourage you to model user growth from the bottom up. If you are modeling out microtransactions / vgoods, I suggest breaking out different user types and cross-checking against industry ARPU and ARPPU rates Feel free to use the model however you want -- I hope it is helpful to your efforts. If you spot a bug, let me know! ([email protected])

Notes on Assumptions and Inputs Many of the inputs in the model have been zero-ed out so you can enter your own assumptions w/o distraction User growth is at top of Model tab; cohort behavior at top of Assumptions tab Other assumptions are spread across the Model, Assumptions, and Staff tabs (depending on whether static or change over time) Hard-coded inputs are blue

Original model template created by Giff Constable, 2009 -- http://giffconstable.com
