Glossary term

Retention cohort

A retention cohort groups users by when they started and measures how many return or remain active over time.

Why it matters

Retention reveals whether a product creates repeat value after the first session.

Example

Users who signed up in week one may have 42% week-four retention, while week-two users may have 31%, suggesting an onboarding or acquisition-quality change.
