Mixpanel
Product analytics survived; AI just made the query layer friendlier.
NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep paying — OpenAI has not replaced it
OpenAI's version overlaps, but does not finish the analytics job, so this one still earns its $28/mo.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- Event data has to be instrumented before it can be analysed. OpenAI, May 13, 2024 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? yes
- 1 of 2 listed replacements have a usable free tier: PostHog.
- What the call is worth $336/yr
- $28/mo at the entry paid tier — $336 a year per seat.

The backstory
Mixpanel stores and analyses product event streams. Models made asking questions of that data easier — natural-language queries, automatic insight surfacing — but the instrumentation, storage and identity resolution are the product. AI is a feature here, not a threat.
