Stop guessing if your 34% retention is good. Compare your key metrics anonymously against servers in the same category and size range.

See if your retention is good or average

Category comparisonsPercentile rankingGap analysis

Numbers without context are meaningless. Is a 22% Day-7 retention good or bad? Depends on your server type. Gaming servers average 31%, crypto communities average 18%, education servers hit 41%. Benchmark shows you exactly where you stand — and what the top 25% of similar servers do differently.

How It Works

  1. 01Benchmark uses anonymized, aggregated data from 12,000+ servers on server.ninja
  2. 02Servers are grouped by: category (gaming, crypto, brand, education, creator), size tier, and age
  3. 03Your metrics are compared to: median, top 25%, and top 10% for your cohort
  4. 04Monthly benchmark report shows which metrics improved vs the category average
  5. 05Actionable gap analysis: 'Your Day-7 retention is 12% below median — here's what top servers do'
  6. 06No individual server data is shared — fully anonymized aggregation

Frequently Asked Questions

Never. All benchmark data is aggregated and anonymized. Other servers see only statistical aggregates like 'median retention for 5K-member gaming servers is 31%' — never individual server data.
