VitalMetrics Premium app demonstrates excellent product-market fit with paid customers: Enterprise users show 88% retention and only 3.5% churn, while Pro users maintain 78% retention. Active user growth is outpacing new signups, indicating strong engagement. Key opportunities: (1) Convert free tier users (55-60% of base) to paid subscriptions—they show 64% retention, proving value perception; (2) Expand APAC/LATAM markets where penetration is 30-40% below US/EU levels despite similar engagement patterns.
How are users engaging with the VitalMetrics Premium app across different subscription plans, geographic regions, and device types? Which customer segments demonstrate the strongest engagement, and where should we focus our efforts to improve conversion rates and reduce churn?

VitalMetrics Premium is the companion app for our connected wellness devices (smart scale, sleep ring). It offers free basic tracking plus Premium tier ($9.99/month) with advanced analytics, personalized coaching, trends, goal-setting, and integration with Apple Health/Google Fit. Enterprise tier ($12.99/user/month) adds team features and admin controls for corporate wellness programs.
Hardware is the entry point, but software drives retention and recurring revenue. VitalMetrics Premium transforms raw sensor data into actionable insights, creating a habit loop that keeps users engaged daily. Understanding user adoption patterns across plans, regions, and devices helps us optimize the experience, increase conversions, and reduce churn—critical for SaaS unit economics and long-term growth.
This analysis examines user behavior data across 12 months, segmenting by three key dimensions to understand adoption patterns and identify growth opportunities:
Customize the view to explore specific segments:
Total number of users who logged in and engaged with the platform during the period. This is our primary health metric showing overall platform adoption.
Number of new users who created accounts. High signup rates indicate effective marketing and product appeal, but must convert to active usage.
Percentage of users who stopped using the platform. Lower is better. Enterprise plans typically show ~3.5% churn, Pro ~7%, and Free ~12% due to commitment levels.
Percentage of new users still active after 4 weeks. Critical indicator of product stickiness and onboarding effectiveness. Target: 70%+ for sustainable growth.

Tracking the relationship between acquisition and engagement over time
💡 Quick Insight
Active user growth is outpacing new signups, suggesting strong retention and engagement. This indicates that the product delivers value and users continue to return. The consistent upward trend across both metrics demonstrates healthy, sustainable growth momentum.
🛠️ Tools Used:
Amplitude for user event tracking, SQL aggregations in Snowflake, rolling 30-day averages calculated in Python, time-series visualization in Chart.js
Understanding where our users are and how they're monetizing
💡 Quick Insight
The US and EU markets dominate our user base, with strong representation across all plan tiers. APAC shows lower penetration but represents a significant growth opportunity. The distribution across plans reveals successful monetization in mature markets (US/EU) while newer markets (APAC/LATAM) lean toward free tier adoption.
🛠️ Tools Used:
User location data from IP geolocation (MaxMind), subscription tier from internal database, aggregated in SQL, grouped bar chart visualization in Chart.js
The Data: Week-4 retention averages 70%+ across paid tiers (78% for Pro, 88% for Enterprise).
What It Means: Our onboarding experience and core product value proposition are working exceptionally well. Users who convert to paid plans find sustained value, which is critical for long-term revenue growth and positive unit economics.
The Data: Enterprise churn averages just 3.5%, significantly lower than industry benchmarks.
What It Means: Our highest-value customers are sticky and satisfied. This creates predictable recurring revenue and validates our enterprise-focused features. The low churn rate suggests we've achieved product-market fit in this segment.
The Data: Free tier users represent 55-60% of the user base but show 12% churn and 64% retention.
What It Means: We have a large pool of engaged free users who could potentially convert to paid plans. The moderate retention suggests they find value, but we need to better demonstrate premium features to drive upgrades. This is our biggest revenue expansion opportunity.
The Data: APAC users are 30% lower than US/EU markets; LATAM is 40% lower.
What It Means: These markets are significantly underutilized compared to mature markets. With proper localization, regional marketing, and potentially adjusted pricing, we could unlock substantial growth. These regions represent untapped TAM (Total Addressable Market).
Our strongest engagement comes from Enterprise users in the US and EU markets, primarily using Desktop and Web platforms. These segments show exceptional retention (88%), minimal churn (3.5%), and strong active user growth. Pro tier users in these same regions also demonstrate healthy metrics, though with slightly higher churn (7%).
The biggest opportunities for improvement lie in two areas:
The data indicates we have strong product-market fit with paid enterprise customers in mature markets. Our challenge now is to replicate this success in emerging markets and convert our substantial free user base.
Prioritized using a RICE framework (Reach × Impact × Confidence ÷ Effort)
Action: Launch an in-app campaign highlighting Pro features to engaged free users (those with 70%+ usage of free tier limits).
Action: Invest in localized marketing and product adaptations for key APAC markets (Japan, Singapore, Australia).
Action: Mobile shows 20% lower engagement than Desktop/Web. Enhance mobile app capabilities to match web functionality.
Action: Enterprise segment shows best metrics (3.5% churn, 88% retention). Expand enterprise sales and account management.
How we'll measure impact and validate these initiatives
Primary: Monthly Active Users (MAU) on paid plans
This captures both conversion and retention, our two key growth levers.
Track: MRR, ARPU, Customer LTV
Monitor unit economics to ensure sustainable growth and healthy CAC:LTV ratios.
Approach: Sequential testing with 95% confidence
Test conversion campaigns on 20% of users, expand winners, kill losers fast.
Monitor: Feature adoption, time-to-value, activation rate
Early signals that predict retention and conversion before they occur.
Bottom Line: We have a healthy, growing SaaS business with strong fundamentals in our core markets. By focusing on conversion optimization and geographic expansion, we can unlock significant growth while maintaining our excellent retention metrics. The path to scaling from here is clear and data-driven.
🎭 IMPORTANT: This is a portfolio demonstration using entirely synthetic data.
VitalMetrics Premium does not exist. This SaaS analysis uses synthetic user engagement data created by Lexi Barry to demonstrate SaaS analytics methodology. All user counts, churn rates, retention metrics, and subscription data are fabricated and do not represent real app performance or company data. The frameworks, metrics definitions, and analytical approaches are real and based on industry best practices for SaaS analytics.
This analysis uses synthetic data modeling real SaaS engagement patterns. The dataset includes 12 months of user behavior across 3 subscription plans (Free, Pro, Enterprise), 4 geographic regions (US, EU, APAC, LATAM), and 3 device types (Web, Mobile, Desktop) totaling 432 data points.
Metrics calculated: Churn Rate = (users lost / total users) × 100; Week-4 Retention = (users active at day 28 / new signups) × 100; Active Users = unique users with 1+ sessions in period. All visualizations are interactive and respond to filter selections to enable exploratory analysis. Data generation simulates realistic patterns including seasonal variation, regional differences, and plan-based behavior.
