monthly active users
For native mobile applications built with the Mapbox Maps, Navigation, and Vision SDKs for iOS, Android, or Unity, we track monthly active users (MAU), also known as mobile users. This is the number of users that accessed Mapbox services within your applications during a given month.
There are a couple different mobile usage measurements that use monthly active users as a unit. The line items that appear on your invoice will vary based on the product and version you are using:
| Product | Version | Invoice line item |
|---|---|---|
| Maps SDK for Android | 8.0.0 and higher | Maps MAUs |
| Maps SDK for Android | less than 8.0.0 | Legacy SDK MAUs |
| Maps SDK for iOS | 5.0.0 and higher | Maps MAUs |
| Maps SDK for iOS | less than 5.0.0 | Legacy SDK MAUs |
| Maps SDK for Unity | all available versions | Legacy SDK MAUs |
| Navigation SDK for Android | all available versions | Legacy SDK MAUs + Directions API requests |
| Navigation SDK for iOS | all available versions | Legacy SDK MAUs + Directions API requests |
| Vision SDK for Android | all available versions | Legacy SDK MAUs |
| Vision SDK for iOS | all available versions | Legacy SDK MAUs |
