Companies disclose customer counts in different cuts. This page renders every slice the latest 10-K names, with its own CAC computation where the filing supports it.

S&M FY2025 $190.6M ÷ net-new

S&M expense, last 4 fiscal years
Older years above don't carry a CAC number here because deriving it requires the customer count for both the current year and the prior comparative - only the latest 10-K reliably discloses both. Backfilling earlier CAC values from older 10-Ks is a planned phase-2 improvement.
Methodology
Numerator (S&M). SPROUT SOCIAL, INC. reports sales & marketing expense each quarter under the XBRL tag us-gaap:SellingAndMarketingExpense. We pull it directly from SEC EDGAR every Monday morning. Annual CAC uses the FY total; trailing-12-month CAC uses a rolling sum of the last four quarters.
Denominator (net-new customers). Customer counts are extracted from the MD&A section of SPROUT SOCIAL, INC.'s 10-K and 10-Q filings using a Claude-driven structured-extraction prompt against the exact disclosure language. Net-new is the change in customers $30k+ arr between the current and prior reporting period.
What this number captures. Fully-loaded blended CAC. S&M includes spend on existing-customer expansion as well as new-logo acquisition; companies don't publicly split that allocation, so neither does this page. Companies with high net-revenue retention will show higher blended CAC than their true new-logo CAC. The trade-off for using only publicly-disclosed numbers is loss of granularity - we surface that explicitly rather than estimate it away.
