Our verdict: Mixpanel
Best for startups and SMEs with a product team who want to closely analyze user behavior in their application, with a free tier generous enough to get started. Not for you if your team isn't comfortable in English or lacks engineering resources to set up event tracking: onboarding requires some product/data expertise.
Our verdict: PostHog
Best for tech startups and SMEs after an all-in-one tool at lower cost, with European hosting available and a generous free tier to start. Not for you if your team lacks engineering skills: integrating certain modules (feature flags, A/B tests) requires touching application code.
