Open source alternatives to Mixpanel

Product analytics with events, funnels, retention, and cohorts. · Mixpanel, Inc.

Pricing: Free up to 20M monthly events; paid plans from $24/mo

Mixpanel is the default product-analytics tool for SaaS companies that outgrew GA4. Open-source alternatives split into two camps: full product analytics (PostHog, Plausible for products) and lightweight event tracking (Umami, Matomo). PostHog is the most direct Mixpanel replacement in 2026 with feature flags, session replay, and a full CDP; Umami is the right pick for 'Mixpanel-lite' that you self-host on a single server.
