DAU/MAU Ratio

DAU/MAU Ratio (Daily Active Users to Monthly Active Users ratio) measures how active monthly users are on a daily basis. In other words, this engagement metric measures the number of days in each month that users performed an activity that qualifies them as active users. A higher DAU/MAU Ratio generally indicates high stickiness, meaning users consistently return to the app.

Expansion MRR Growth Rate

Expansion Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) Growth Rate is the velocity at which additional revenue from existing customers is being added to the business, expressed as a percentage of total MRR. Expansion MRR Growth Rate is often cited as a monthly rate, but it's also possible to express it using an annual timeframe, for example, "Our Expansion MRR Growth Rate for April was 5%" or "Our Expansion MRR Growth Rate was 80% last year".

Forecasted Number of Customers

Forecasted Number of Customers gives you the predicted number of customers your company will have over a given period of time. Though there are multiple ways to forecast customer count, the simplest calculation is to multiply your leads with your average close rate.
