CAC Benchmarks by Industry, Stage & ACV

Every published benchmark on this site carries a primary source. When no primary source exists for a specific cut, the page exists at the canonical URL but renders as an honest stub that points at adjacent cells and live public-company data - not a fabricated number.

Coverage today

150 of 180 cells currently carry a primary source citation. The remaining 30 render as honest stubs that link to adjacent cells and to live public-company CAC numbers from companies in that industry. We populate sourced cells incrementally as we verify primary citations from SaaS Capital, ChartMogul, Bessemer State of the Cloud, OpenView, and KeyBanc Capital Markets surveys.

Browse by industry

Each industry page surfaces all 15 (5 stages × 3 ACV bands) cells for that industry, plus the live public-company CAC anchors from companies in our cohort.

The full grid

Every cell links to its dedicated page. Sourced cells show their median CAC inline; stub cells link to the closest published cuts. This is the entire 180-page surface.
