Logo Retention Benchmarks by Company Stage

TL;DR: Industry benchmarks for logo retention rates across seed, Series A, growth, and enterprise SaaS companies.

Industry Benchmarks

Seed-stage SaaS averages 60-70% annual logo retention. Series A improves to 75-85%. Growth-stage targets 85-95%. If a Series A company claims 95% logo retention, verify — it's possible but uncommon. Benchmarks help acquirers calibrate expectations before diligence.
