Stickiness calculator (DAU/MAU)

Stickiness estimates habit formation by comparing daily or weekly active users to monthly active users. A common benchmark is DAU ÷ MAU × 100%. Higher stickiness suggests users return frequently and find ongoing value.

Interpreting stickiness

Stickiness highlights how frequently users engage within a month. Products with strong habit loops often see DAU/MAU above 20–40%. Consumer social and messaging can exceed 50%, while B2B workflows typically range lower.

Benchmarks

  • >= 40% Strong: habitual daily use for many users.
  • 20–40% Moderate: regular weekly use; good engagement.
  • < 20% Low: infrequent use or niche cadence.

Improve stickiness

  • Shorten time to value and reduce friction in repeat workflows.
  • Use reminders and in‑product cues aligned to genuine user value.
  • Build features that anchor recurring tasks, not just one‑off actions.
