Mixpanel vs Crazy Egg

Free tier available

From $29 per month (annual billing, 5k pageviews)

Growth now starts at $0 and scales with event volume up to 20M events a month, with the first million free; annual billing saves around $480 a year. Enterprise is quote-based. Event-volume pricing stays generous for early products but climbs with a chatty event schema.

Tracked pageviews are the meter, and the entry plan's 5,000 a month is small enough that a modest marketing site outgrows it. Recording and heatmap-report counts are separate caps on the same plan.

Free forever, up to 1M events a month.

Free trial on every plan; no permanently free tier.

• Genuinely self-serve — product managers build their own reports without help.
• Large free tier that carries an early-stage product a long way.
• Fast query performance on large event volumes.

• Heatmaps, recordings, surveys and A/B testing in one subscription rather than three.
• The A/B editor is usable by a marketer without an engineer, which is the whole point of buying it.
• Twenty years of the same product, which is unusual reassurance in this category.

• Requires disciplined event instrumentation and naming.
• Weaker on user-level qualitative investigation than replay tools.
• Costs scale with event volume, which grows faster than user count.

• Pageview-metered, and pageviews are the thing you least control — a good week of traffic is an overage.
• Session replay is shallower than FullStory or LogRocket: no console, no network, no error correlation.
• Web only. There is no mobile SDK.

Product teams that want fast, self-serve behavioural reporting.

Marketing teams that want to see behaviour and act on it in one tool, without an engineer in the loop.
