Dashboard

This guide describes metrics available on Apphud Dashboard.

The App dashboard shows the key metrics for a single app — open it from the app's page.
Metrics are grouped into two types:

  • Now — the current state at the moment the dashboard was loaded or last refreshed. Use Refresh data to recompute; each card compares against the value 30 days earlier.
  • Overview — totals for the selected period, shown with the percentage change versus the previous period of equal length.

Values update as new data arrives; see What affects how up-to-date analytics data is? for timing.

Now metrics

Current-state metrics, recomputed on load / Refresh data.

Difference between "In billing grace period" and "In billing retry period"

Billing Grace Period is an Apple feature. With it enabled, Apple tries to charge the subscriber for up to 16 days, and you should keep premium access on during this time — the subscription is in the Grace state and the SDK's isActive() still returns true. With Billing Grace Period disabled, the subscription goes to Expired and isActive() returns false, though Apple still attempts recovery for up to 60 days, less aggressively. In both cases, once the subscription is recovered it returns to the Regular state.
You can manage Billing Grace Period in your app's Features tab in App Store Connect.

Note on ARPU and ARPPU

Both are calculated using Proceeds. Revenue generated before a user was first seen in Apphud is ignored. See Apple's note on how commission is calculated here.

Open the full report

Every metric card has an info icon showing the metric's definition. When a metric matches a chart's default view (same metric, no extra filters), the tooltip also includes a View report link that opens that report in a new tab.

Because the report opens at its default state, the link is shown only for those 1:1 metrics — it does not carry over the dashboard's selected date range or filters. Metrics without a matching default report show just the definition.
