MixpanelPrice
Mixpanel+ Best-in-class event-based analytics with powerful funnel and retention analysis
+ Very generous free tier (20M events) is enough for most startups
- Requires deliberate event tracking setup; garbage in, garbage out
“Mixpanel is where we go to understand WHY users convert or churn. GA4 tells us what happened, Mixpanel tells us the story behind it.”
+ Fully GDPR compliant; no cookies, no consent banners needed
+ Incredibly lightweight script (~1KB) that won't slow your site
- Feature-thin compared to GA4 or Mixpanel; no funnels, cohorts, or event-level analysis
“Plausible gives me the 5 metrics I actually check every day, without the 500 reports I never look at in GA4. Plus no cookie banner needed.”
