MAU / DAU

Written by
Ankit.Sharma

MAU (Monthly Active Users) and DAU (Daily Active Users) are engagement metrics that measure the number of unique users who interact with a product or platform within a given time frame. 

Formula: 

  • DAU: Number of unique users in a 24-hour period
     
  • MAU: Number of unique users in a 30-day period
     
  • DAU/MAU Ratio: A measure of stickiness or engagement frequency
     

Example:
If your app has 10,000 monthly users and 1,000 daily users, your DAU/MAU ratio is 10%, indicating the percentage of users who return daily. 

Why Do MAU and DAU Matter? 

  • Benchmark for product health and user engagement
     
  • Helps assess retention, virality, and product-market fit
     
  • Guides growth and monetization strategies
     

Factors Affecting MAU/DAU: 

  • Product usability and value
     
  • Engagement campaigns and personalization
     
  • Frequency of new feature rollouts
     

How to Improve These Metrics: 

  1. Launch habit-forming features
     
  2. Use behavioral triggers to re-engage lapsed users
     
  3. Personalize content and journeys
     
  4. Introduce loyalty programs or streak incentives
     

FAQs

  1. What is a good DAU/MAU ratio?

    A ratio above 20% is strong for most apps; higher means greater stickiness. 

  2. How do MAU and DAU differ from installs?

    Installs measure acquisition, while MAU/DAU measure actual usage. 

  3. Can MAU/DAU help identify churn?

    Yes, a declining DAU/MAU ratio signals potential churn or low engagement. 

  4. Should I track MAU/DAU by channel or platform?

    Yes, tracking by source, device, or region reveals performance insights.
