Mixpanel is a product analytics platform for tracking user interactions, funnels, retention, and A/B experiments. It handles funnels, retention, a/b testing, and user flows, and it's best suited for product teams tracking user behavior and funnels. It has been around since 2009, giving it a 17-year head start in building out integrations and refining the product.

The free plan is free up to 20m events/mo — enough for most people to evaluate whether it fits. It works well for mid-size teams that need more structure than a basic tool but less overhead than enterprise platforms.
