Mixpanel Product Analytics
Mixpanel is a product analytics platform. Its website calls it a product intelligence platform for the AI era. You send events that describe what users do in your product, and you get funnels, retention, session replay and experiments. Queries run on Mixpanel's own database, Arb. The free plan needs no credit card.

Who it is for
Mixpanel serves teams that need to understand user behavior:
- Product managers and growth teams who want to see where users drop off and which features drive retention.
- Engineering and data teams who send events through APIs or a warehouse and then run self-serve analysis.
- Early-stage startups, for whom the free plan and the startup program lower the cost of starting.
Measure how many sign-ups a launch really brought, with Mixpanel
Mixpanel records behavior inside your own product. It cannot tell you how many people outside are talking about you; EveryInfra covers that half. The classic case is a launch: you go live on Product Hunt, people discuss you on Reddit and X, and you want to know which wave of discussion actually produced sign-ups.
- From launch day on, pull Product Hunt comments and reviews, Reddit search results and comments and related posts on X through EveryInfra once an hour, and note new items and engagement.
- Send each snapshot as one event, for example
external_buzz, with platform and counts as properties, through Mixpanel's Import Events API. Each request takes up to 2,000 events and 10 MB; every event needs a name, time, distinct_id and$insert_id. Build$insert_idfrom platform plus timestamp, and Mixpanel deduplicates retries. - In Mixpanel, chart
external_buzzand yoursign_upevent on one hourly trend line. You can see whether sign-ups rose after that one Reddit thread took off. - After launch week, drop the polling to once a day to follow the long tail.
In an hour with no new comments or posts, the EveryInfra request comes back empty and is not charged.
