Let’s get into it
Introduction to Mixpanel
If your preferred consumption is audio visual - access the video on Youtube.
Mixpanel is a product analytics tool that helps you understand how users interact with your website or app.
It provides deep insights into user behavior, enabling you to make data-driven decisions to improve and grow your product.
Mixpanel is useful if you want to answer questions like:
- How many users signed up, and which marketing channel brought them in?
- Where are my users dropping off during the checkout process?
- Do users who perform a specific action more often have better retention compared to others?
What is Product Analytics, & how is it different from business/ data analytics?

How is Mixpanel different from tools like Heap, fullstory, etc.?
