Ask HN: Could anyone recommend any devtools to calculate Monthly Active Users?

Feel free to comment. Preferably, I would like solutions that are easy to integrate, like a simple copy & paste JavaScript code, etc.

How do you calculate monthly active users on google analytics, though?

Are the users registered in any way (e.g. have accounts)? You could check the login logs.

If not, you could also use something like UXWizz[0] to tag each individual session based on their user ID and then run a MySQL query to get the distinct ones within the last 30 days.

Is it not free? Do I have to purchase a license?

Yes, it's a premium self-hosted product. You can probably get a discount if you get it for personal usage and contact support.
