What you need to understand to reason about a domain.
Product retention describes whether and to what extent users return after first use and continue receiving relevant value from a product.
The term comes from customer loyalty and cohort analysis and became a time-based, behavior-oriented metric family in digital products.
Define a valuable event and return window first. Cohort users by start or activation, track repeated value use, and distinguish voluntary engagement from lock-in or lack of alternatives. When retention is weak, investigate unmet problems rather than relying only on reminders.
A user group sharing a start or activation point whose behavior is compared over time.
An observable action showing that users receive relevant product value.
Defined loss of usage, customer, or contract within a period.
Retention shows whether a product remains repeatedly relevant and complements acquisition metrics with sustained use. Its meaning depends on sound event, time-window, and segment definitions.
