Stickiness (DAU/MAU)

How often monthly users come back on a typical day.

Stickiness = daily active users ÷ monthly active users × 100

Why it matters

It shows how much a product has become a habit.

How to use it

  • Only use it for products meant to be used often.
  • Watch the trend, not one number.
  • Do not chase it with manipulative notifications.

Example

With 20,000 daily and 100,000 monthly users, stickiness is 20%.
