DAU/MAU Ratio = (Daily Active Users (DAU) / Monthly Active Users (MAU)) * 100
Steps to calculate DAU/MAU Ratio
1. Identify DAU: Count of unique users engaging with the app within a 24-hour period.
2. Identify MAU: Count of unique users engaging with the app within a 30-day period.
3. Divide DAU by MAU: Perform the division of the DAU by the MAU to find the ratio.
4. Multiply by 100 to express the result as a percentage.
Overview: DAU/MAU Ratio
DAU/MAU ratio stands as a vital metric reflecting user engagement within an app or platform, illustrating the stickiness and daily user engagement compared to the broader monthly active user base.
Importance: Value of DAU/MAU Ratio
– Represents user engagement and product health.
– Higher ratios indicate a more engaged and consistently returning user base.
– Essential for identifying trends over time and informing user retention strategies.
Example: Applying the DAU/MAU Formula
Imagine a social media app aiming to increase its DAU/MAU ratio from 15% to 25% within a quarter. By monitoring this ratio, they can implement targeted engagement strategies, like introducing daily challenges, to increase daily active usage and improve overall stickiness of the app.
How to improve DAU/MAU Ratio
