Формула

$$\text{DAU/MAU} = \frac{\text{DAU}}{\text{MAU}}\cdot 100\%$$
chart DAU over MAU trend

Compare DAU-to-MAU percentage by month to evaluate engagement changes after product updates.

Higher points mean users return more frequently within the same monthly pool.

Обозначения

$\text{DAU}$
Daily Active Users in the period, users
$\text{MAU}$
Monthly Active Users in the same period, users

Условия применения

  • DAU and MAU must be measured for the same timeframe.
  • Use unique users so duplicates are not counted twice.
  • MAU must be greater than 0.

Ограничения

  • Raw DAU and MAU values are not directly comparable if timezones or identity-matching rules differ.
  • A high ratio can be misleading in short launch periods with low MAU base.
  • Bots and QA test accounts should be excluded from activity counts.

Подробное объяснение

DAU is counted per day and MAU across the month. The ratio shows the average probability that a monthly user is active on a day.

Как пользоваться формулой

  1. Collect MAU and DAU for the same month.
  2. Insert values into the formula.
  3. Interpret values closer to 100\% as stronger daily engagement for active monthly users.
  4. Track this metric as a trend; one-time spikes are less informative than stable growth.

Историческая справка

DAU/MAU has become common in SaaS and mobile analytics for engagement benchmarking among consumer internet products.

Пример

If MAU = 80,000 and DAU = 12,000, then DAU/MAU = 12,000 / 80,000 \times 100\% = 15\%.

Частая ошибка

Mixing absolute counts with rate comparisons across product modules; keep units and cohorts consistent.

Практика

Задачи с решением

Basic DAU/MAU calculation

Условие. MAU = 25,000; DAU = 5,000.

Решение. \text{DAU/MAU} = 5{,}000 / 25{,}000 \cdot 100\% = 20\%.

Ответ. 20\%

Another period

Условие. MAU = 18,400; DAU = 6,440.

Решение. \text{DAU/MAU} = 6{,}440 / 18{,}400 \cdot 100\% \approx 35.0\%.

Ответ. \approx 35.0\%
