Which one is for you
Pick Mitzu if
- Fits if your events already sit in Snowflake, BigQuery or Databricks
- Works for data teams of five who want to skip copying events
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you have no data warehouse, because Mitzu stores no events
- Pricey if you're small, at $450 a month before extra seats
- Watch out: Starter has no viewers or published dashboards, so stakeholders need Pro at $900
- Watch out: self-hosting on AWS is Enterprise only
- Tight if you want a free plan, since there's only the 2-week trial
Pick Mixpanel if
- Fits if you want to see where people drop out of sign-up and who comes back
- Works for startups that stay under 1M events a month, with any number of seats
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you just want page counts for a blog or a shop
- Pricey if you outgrow 1M events, at $100 a month for 1.5M and $840 at 10M on yearly billing
- Tight if you stay free and need saved cohorts or more than 5 saved reports each
- Watch out: group analytics and Data Pipelines exports are paid add-ons, and Growth stops at 20M events
- Not for you if you need anomaly detection, HIPAA tools or custom data retention without an Enterprise deal
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAMitzuFair | 3.0GPAMixpanelVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D$450 a month billed yearly, a platform fee for 5 seats, in the dearest tenth where analytics tools start at $299. Extra seats are $75. | AA site with 10,000 visitors a month fits inside the free 1M events, so the figure is $0, with unlimited seats and 10,000 replays. Past that, Growth is $100 a month for 1.5M events billed yearly ($140 monthly), and $840 at 10M. |
| Free plan and trial | C2-week trial with no card. No free plan. | BFree forever with no card: 1M events, 10,000 replays, 1,000 experiment users and 10 feature flags, with unlimited seats. The caps: 5 saved reports per seat, and cohorts you can build but not save. |
| Features | CFunnels, journeys, retention, dashboards and experiments, with the warehouse doing the storing. It's useless without one, and Starter has no viewer licenses. | BFunnels, retention, cohorts, replays with console logs, heatmaps, flags, experiments, AI summaries and warehouse connectors. That's the whole product analytics job. Anomaly detection and HIPAA tools are Enterprise only, and group analytics is a paid add-on. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating read. A warehouse to connect and events to model. | CNo rating on record. Autocapture works on web and mobile, but you'll still want a tracking plan, and building useful funnels and cohorts takes some learning. AI summaries and an MCP server take questions in plain words. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks and Slack, plus an API on Pro. | BWeb only, no desktop or phone app, so it stops at B. It pulls data from BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift and Postgres, and works with Segment, mParticle, Braze, Iterable and Google Ads. |

Worth knowing
Mitzu
- There is no free plan; the entry platform fee is $500 a month, or $450 billed yearly.
- It needs a connected data warehouse, since Mitzu does not store the events itself.
- Starter has no viewer licenses or published dashboards, so teams with stakeholders who only view reports need Pro.
- Self-hosting on AWS is an Enterprise option; startups may ask the vendor about a discount.
Mixpanel
- Growth is billed per event after the first 1M a month and tops out at 20M; above that you need Enterprise, priced through sales.
- Anomaly detection, data quality monitoring, HIPAA tools with a BAA and cross-product analysis are Enterprise only.
- Group (account-level) analytics and Data Pipelines exports are paid add-ons on Growth and Enterprise.
- Data is kept 2 years by default on every plan; a custom retention policy needs Enterprise.

Mitzu
- Warehouse-native analytics
- Reads events from the customer's own warehouse such as Snowflake, BigQuery or Databricks, so there is no separate event store to fill.

- Funnel, user journey, retention and cohort analyses, all built on one shared set of metric definitions.
- AI analytics and agents
- Ask questions in plain language, in the app, in Slack or through an MCP server, and have agents watch metrics. 100 AI insights per seat monthly.

- Experiment analysis that flags when a result is significant. Starter allows 1 experiment per seat; Pro and Enterprise are unlimited.
- Dashboards and BI
- Warehouse metric tables and published dashboards for sharing, available on Pro and Enterprise with free viewer licenses.
Mixpanel

- Feature flags and experiments
- Feature flags and A/B experiments counted by monthly experiment users: 1,000 on Free and 5,000 on Growth, which can buy up to 100,000.
- AI analysis and MCP server
- AI summaries and agent-style analysis on every plan, and an MCP server so AI assistants can query your Mixpanel data.
- Warehouse connectors
- Growth and Enterprise can bring in data from BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift and Postgres; those rows count toward the event limit.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
