Unit economics can be really aggravating sometimes.
I’ve noticed that shifting our LTV and CAC calculations disrupts our key growth metrics and conversion insights.
I wonder how others have dealt with these changes.

Unit economics changes can mess with metrics, for sure. I focus on cost per paying user and their lifetime value.
Keeps things simple and actionable. Adjust ad spend based on those numbers and you’ll see steady growth without the headaches.
Yeah unit economics suck. I just watch revenue grow. Keeps it simple.
Forget the fancy metrics. Track revenue per user and acquisition cost. That’s it.
Adjust your funnel and ad spend based on those two numbers. If revenue per user goes up faster than acquisition cost, you’re winning.
I’ve seen companies get lost in complex calculations. Keep it simple. Focus on what drives real growth - getting users and making them profitable.
Tweak your onboarding, pricing, and retention based on those core metrics. The rest is just noise.
Been there, dealt with that headache. Here’s what worked for us:
We stopped obsessing over complex LTV models and focused on 30-day revenue per user. It’s not perfect, but it’s clear and actionable.
For CAC, we track blended cost per install and cost per paying user. These numbers guide our ad spend decisions daily.
The key was consistency. We locked these definitions for a quarter, then only made small tweaks. It gave us stable trend lines to work with.
Also, we now run a monthly sanity check. If the metrics look off, we dig into the raw data. Sometimes it’s a genuine shift in user behavior, other times it’s just noise in the calculations.
This approach helped us grow steadily without constantly second-guessing our data. It’s not fancy, but it works.
Metrics can be tricky. I just track sign-ups and churn. Simple but works for us.
