Which one is for you
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
Pick UXCam if
- Fits if you run a mobile app and want to watch real sessions
- Works for a product team with a developer to add the SDK
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a price on the page, as plans are quoted after a form
- Not for you if you need a free plan, as there's only the 14-day trial
- Skip it if you have a plain website with no app, where web-first tools cost less
- Watch out: no desktop apps are listed, so you read results in a web dashboard
How we grade them
| 3.0GPAMixpanelVery good | 2.2GPAUXCamFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | CNo prices are published; plans follow monthly sessions and are quoted after a form. |
| Free plan and trial | 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. | C14-day trial with full features and no card. No free plan. |
| Features | 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. | CSession replay, heatmaps, funnels, retention, dashboards and an AI analyst for apps. It's built for mobile and needs an SDK in the app. |
| Ease of use | 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. | CNo store rating on record. A developer must add the SDK before anything shows up. |
| Platforms and integrations | 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. | BSDKs for iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter and Cordova, with web analytics too, and a web dashboard. No desktop app. |
| Best for | funnels and retention for apps and sites | session replay for mobile apps |

Worth knowing
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.
UXCam
- Prices are not published: the pricing page says plans follow monthly sessions and are quoted after a form is filled in.
- Data is collected through an SDK that developers add to the app; the vendor lists iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter and Cordova.
- The product is used through a web dashboard; no desktop apps are listed.

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.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
