- From Aug. 1st to Aug. 31st, sales indicators include: using the Jul. 25th average monthly exchange rate
- PU RATE (Paying User Rate)
- Conversion Rate to Purchase. Number of users logged in to the game divided by the number of users who purchased the game through the in-app store

- Life Time
- The number of days between the user’s first login and the standard login date
- E.g.) If a user’s first login date is Jul. 31st and they logged in on Aug. 8th, the Life Time value is 8
- Leaving and returning are not taken into account; returning users who log in on the base date after leaving have a higher Life Time value.
- The number of days between the user’s first login and the standard login date
- LTV(Life Time Value)
- Average total sales NU produced for a certain time period
- Retention
- Value or ratio related to a user’s daily re-access status. It is the number of users who logged in on D+0 and then again on each subsequent day, D+N, while removing playerid duplicates.
- Since it is not a continuous retention rate, it does not take into account whether or not users log in continuously every day.
- For example, considering retention as of Aug. 1st,
- Users who logged in on Aug. 3rd -> D+2 value is 1
- Users who did not log in on Aug. 2nd -> D+1 value is 0
- Existing User
- Number of users who were actively logged in over the time period, excluding new users
- Churning User
- Number of users without login data from N-1 days to the base date, depending on N days preceding the base date.

- Returning User
- The number of people who logged in on the base date from those who had no login record for N days prior to the base date
- E.g.) If the base date (search date) is August 7th and the base period is set to three days: Number of users who logged in on August 7th but did not log in between August 4th and 6th
