The Power User Curve: The best way to understand your most engaged users at andrewchen

Highlights & Notes

Power users drive some of the most successful companies — people who love their product, are highly engaged, and contribute a ton of value to the network.

While DAU/MAU — dividing daily active users (DAUs) by monthly active users (MAUs or monthly actives) — is a common metric for measuring engagement, it has its shortcomings.

the “Power User Curve” — also commonly called the activity histogram or the “L30” (coined by the Facebook growth team). It’s a histogram of users’ engagement by the total number of days they were active in a month, from 1 day out of the month to all 30 (or 28, or 31) days.

It shows if you have a hardcore, engaged segment that’s coming back every day.

It shows the variability among your users: some are slightly engaged, whereas others are power users.

The Power User Curve will “smile” when things are good

Social products with frequent user engagement like this lend themselves well to monetization via ads—there’s enough users returning frequently that the impressions can support an ad business.

successive Power User Curves should ideally show users shifting over more to the right side of the smile.

The Power User Curve can show when strong monetization is needed

not every company needs to have a smile-shaped Power User Curve, just as not every product category necessarily lends itself to an ultra-high DAU/MAU

LinkedIn — few users are likely to actively check it on a daily basis, but that’s ok, since they have business models that aren’t tied to daily usage.

Some products should be analyzed in a 7 day timeframe – like SaaS/productivity – and others on 30 days

Plotting the Power User Curve for different WAU or MAU cohorts can also be very insightful.

For a network effects product, you might expect to see newer cohorts gradually improve as you achieve network density/liquidity.

The Power User Curve can be based on core activity, not just app opens or logins

As the CEO or product owner of a platform like this, it’s important to design the platform such that the everyone has a chance to succeed.

The beauty of the Power User Curve over DAU/MAU is that it shows heterogeneity among your user base, reflecting the nuances of different user segments

The key for founders is to know that there isn’t a single silver bullet to measure perfect engagement — rather, the goal is to find the set of metrics that are appropriate for their businesses.
