FAQs

Question	Answer
What counts as an active paid subscription for the ARR measurement?	Any paid, unexpired subscription is considered active. Learn more here.
Does ARR exclude subscriptions with auto-renewal disabled?	No, ARR includes normalized annual revenue from all active paid subscriptions – even if their auto-renew status is currently disabled. Because of this, if churning subscriptions are not replaced by new paid subscriptions, ARR will be higher than actual realized revenue over a given period.
Are non-recurring subscriptions, consumable, or one-time purchases included in ARR?	No, since these purchases do not represent recurring revenue, they are not included in the ARR calculation.
Is ARR calculated before commission and taxes?	Yes, ARR is calculated using the gross price of your active subscriptions. Commission & taxes deducted by the stores would need to be additionally deducted from ARR to understand expected proceeds.
