# Mixpanel alternative

> About Mixpanel: event-based product analytics. These products list themselves as alternatives to it. Positioning is from each listing, not an endorsement.

People look for Mixpanel alternatives for three reasons: privacy rules and cookie banners, a learning curve that keeps the team out of the dashboards, or cost at higher traffic. Compare whether it needs consent banners, how events are defined, how long data is kept, whether you can self-host or export raw data, and how pricing scales with traffic or events.
