Mixpanel

Category: Analytics/Attribution

Product analytics for teams who want depth without Amplitude's price.

Mixpanel is the product analytics platform competing head-on with Amplitude, funnels, retention, cohorts, segmentation, typically at lower pricing. AI features (Spark) added conversational analytics. Used heavily by PLG SaaS and consumer apps for behavioural analytics tied to product usage. The Mixpanel-vs-Amplitude choice usually comes down to existing data stack, pricing for your event volume, and team preference. Both are solid; Mixpanel tends to feel friendlier on first onboarding.
