You asked

Why are users engaging more with my product but revenue isn't increasing?

Free-to-paid conversion has declined 1.2 points and aggregate revenue growth is running at less than one-third the rate of usage growth.

Symptom

Feature usage is up thirty-four percent but revenue per active user has fallen six percent — the value capture ratio is inverted.

Cause

Usage metrics and revenue metrics live in separate tools and the gap between them is never placed on the same axis — the pricing leak is invisible in any standard dashboard.

Impact

Growing usage without pricing alignment compounds into a structural revenue gap that widens proportionally with product success.
