Daily active users (DAU) is a way of gauging the success of an internet product such as a social networking service, online game, or mobile app. It uses the measurement of how many users visited or interacted with an internet product or service on a single given day. DAU measures the "stickiness" of an online product by answering the question, "How many users visit the product daily?" Usually the only requirement for a product user to be considered "active" is that they somehow view the product or engage with the product. Examples of this type of product usage would range from visiting the splash page of the product or commenting on a product post by the product's Facebook page, to actually playing the product itself. A similar measurement is monthly active users (MAU) which gathers the same data but over a month or period of 30 days. Daily active users are calculated using the internal data of the specific company. There is no singular way to calculate DAU's. Facebook, for example, constantly makes changes to their calculations to make them more accurate. <ref name":1" /> Each company will have their own unique method for calculation DAU. Many companies do not share specific details regarding how they calculate DAU.<ref name=":0" />
