DAU / MAU Ratio

Daily active users divided by monthly active users. Stickiness benchmark.

What it is

DAU/MAU = how often a monthly user comes back. Higher = stickier product. 20-50% is healthy for most categories.

Common mistake

Comparing DAU/MAU across product categories without adjustment. A messenger app at 50% is normal; a tax product at 50% is suspicious.

Healthy pattern

20% = monthly users come back ~6 days a month. 50% = come back ~15 days a month. Higher = product is becoming a habit.
