Usage Frequency

Understanding how often customers interact isn’t just a metric—it’s a window into their habits and loyalty. Frequency tells you how regularly users or accounts engage, offering critical insights into their overall customer health.

Why It Matters

Frequency is a powerful indicator of satisfaction and stickiness:

• Consistent usage signals that your product is delivering value and becoming a habit.

• Declining usage can indicate a dip in customer health, signaling challenges or a risk of churn.

Spotting these patterns early gives your team the chance to act—before it’s too late.

How It’s Measured

Frequency looks at how many days a user was active over a specific period. It’s simple but effective:

Formula:
Frequency = Active Days / Total Days in the Period

For example:

• A user active 5 out of 7 days has a frequency of 5/7 (71%), showing they’re engaged and returning regularly.

• A user active only 2 out of 7 days? That’s a signal to dig deeper and address potential issues.

Signals to Watch

• Healthy Customers: Active 5 out of 7 days or more—these users are finding consistent value and are less likely to churn.

• Warning Signs: Active 2 out of 7 days or less—this could mean fading interest, unmet needs, or friction.

Who Uses It and How

• Customer Success Teams: Monitor frequency to catch accounts showing signs of declining customer health and provide proactive support.

• Marketing Teams: Use frequency insights to create re-engagement campaigns or reward power users.

• Product Managers: Analyze frequency to track adoption trends and plan feature releases for high-usage periods.
