An operational measure to quantify the sizes of some 'macroscopic quantum superpositions', realized in recent experiments, is proposed. The measure is based on the fact that a superposition presents greater sensitivity in interferometric applications than its superposed constituent states. This enhanced sensitivity, or 'interference utility', may then be used as a size criterion among superpositions.
