Mouseflow vs Mixpanel
Feature checklists rarely decide anything. What decides it is the pricing metric, who has to write the tests, and which limitation you can live with.

Free tierWhat drives the bill
The metric that actually scales your invoice.
Priced in USD by monthly recordings, with up to about 35% off on annual billing. EU-based with GDPR-oriented data handling.
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.
