Your guide to the 2024 SaaS benchmarks

This article presents the 8th annual SaaS benchmarks report based on 4,000+ companies, revealing that 2024 shows stabilization at lower growth rates than the 2020-2022 boom period. Early-stage SaaS companies (<$1M ARR) are thriving with 250% top-quartile growth, leaner teams (7-person median), and lower CAC payback periods by leveraging AI and automation. The report highlights a divergence where early-stage and AI-native startups outperform more mature SaaS businesses, which are facing growth challenges despite solid NRR metrics.
