Mixpanel is a product analytics tool rather than a traffic counter, and it earns a place for teams that need to see what users do after they arrive. Reports are built on events, so you can chart funnels, retention and cohorts for any action, and the platform adds session replay, experiments and feature flags. The free plan is generous, with unlimited seats, up to 1 million events a month and 10,000 session replays. Growth raises the ceiling to 20 million events and 500,000 replays and adds unlimited saved reports and custom properties. At 1.5 million events Growth costs $140 a month, or $100 a month billed yearly, and the price climbs with volume. Companies under five years old with up to $8 million in funding can get the first year free. The catch is setup: Mixpanel works best with a deliberate tracking plan, and site owners who only want pageviews will find it heavier than needed.
