Who uses OpenPanel?

USED BY

After testing several product analytics tools for Strackr, we chose OpenPanel and we are very satisfied with the product. We have been using it since the beta, and there are constant updates. Profiles and Conversion Events are our favorite features.

Before OpenPanel, I was using Plausible, and it was ok. But OpenPanel is like 10 leagues ahead!! Better UX/UI, many more features, and incredible support from the founder. Bonus point: it's 1 click install on Coolify!! I won't switch to anything else 😎

    The Overview tab in OpenPanel is great. It has everything I need from my analytics: the stats, the graph, traffic sources, locations, devices, etc.

    The UI is beautiful ✨ Clean, modern look, very pleasing to the eye.

    🀯 wow, it's amazing! Just integrate @OpenPanelDev into http://indiehackers.site last night, and now I can see visitors coming from all round the world.

    OpenPanel has a more beautiful UI and much more powerful features when compared to Umami.

Mixpanel Alternative

Why teams switch from Mixpanel to OpenPanel

OpenPanel covers the product analytics features teams actually use β€” events, funnels, retention, cohorts, and user profiles β€” without Mixpanel's pricing, privacy trade-offs, or vendor lock-in.

Fraction of the cost

Mixpanel's pricing scales to hundreds or thousands per month as your event volume grows. OpenPanel starts at $2.50/month β€” or self-host for free with no event limits.

The features you actually use

Events, funnels, retention, cohorts, user profiles, custom dashboards, and A/B testing β€” all there. OpenPanel covers every core analytics workflow from Mixpanel without the learning curve.

Actually self-hostable

Mixpanel is cloud-only. OpenPanel runs on your own infrastructure with a simple Docker setup. Full data ownership, zero vendor lock-in.

Open source & transparent

Mixpanel is a black box. OpenPanel's code is public on GitHub β€” audit it, contribute to it, or fork it. No surprises, no hidden data processing.
