How to Calculate Your Daily Active Users and Why It Matters
If you’re looking for a great metric to track user engagement and growth on your platform, you might want to measure your daily active users (DAU). But keep in mind that while DAU is a good starting point, it’s not necessarily a holistic metric for measuring performance. Not only can this number measure traction (depending on the service or product you’re building), but it’s a useful metric for the product team: DAU shows the product team how users engage with your platform and indicates if you’re building for stickiness, which in turn helps minimize churn. In this post on Panoply’s blog, Gift “Gigi” Kenneth discusses who’s considered a daily active user, why DAU is a useful metric to measure, how to measure it, and measurement misconceptions.
