Active User Percentage

What It Is

Active User Percentage measures the proportion of users within an account who are regularly engaging with your product, offering insights into the breadth of usage across the account.

Why It’s Important

Active User Percentage shows how usage is spread across an account. When just a few users are doing all the clicking, it can be a red flag (especially before renewals). But broad usage suggests healthier engagement—it means your product is woven into the whole team’s routine, not just a one-person show!

How It Is Calculated

Active User Percentage is calculated by dividing the number of active users by the total number of users in the account:

Active User Percentage = (Number of Active Users/Total Number of Users)×100

For example, if 10 out of 50 users in an account are active, the active user percentage would be 10/50×100=20%.

Signals of Health or Weakness

• Healthy Signal: A high Active User Percentage means lots of people in the account are engaged, which lowers the chance of churn.

• Warning Signal: A low percentage, especially in larger accounts, can be a red flag—if only a few users are active, there’s a higher risk of losing the account.
