Userpilot: A Better Alternative to Mixpanel and Amplitude
| Category | Userpilot | Mixpanel/Amplitude |
|---|---|---|
| Analytics | Built-in funnels and trend reports show feature adoption, drop-offs, and usage trends without coding. Unified dashboard for analytics + engagement data. | Advanced behavioral analytics for deep funnel and cohort analysis. Requires setup and analyst support. No engagement layer. |
| Event Tracking | No-code event tracking via feature tagging and UI interactions (clicks, hovers, form fills). Easy to define and group custom events. | Mixpanel requires manual setup for each event; Amplitude recommends event planning upfront. Both lack true autocapture and require dev input. |
| Engagement | Full no-code suite: modals, tooltips, slide-outs, banners, walkthroughs, and flows. All UI patterns included in every plan. | Analytics-only tools. No native modals, tooltips, or walkthroughs — teams need extra tools to act on insights. |
| Surveys & Feedback | Native NPS, CSAT, CES, and custom in-app surveys with tagging and analytics dashboard. No integrations needed. | No survey or feedback capabilities. Requires integration with third-party tools for NPS or user sentiment. |
| Resource Center | Build in-app resource centers with help docs, videos, and chat integrations for self-serve support. | Not available. Mixpanel and Amplitude don’t offer in-app self-service hubs. |
| Segmentation | Dynamic segmentation by behavior, engagement, and in-app actions. Perfect for targeting flows and personalized onboarding. | Powerful segmentation based on events and user properties, but primarily for analytics — not for in-app targeting or experiences. |
| Mobile / Cross-Platform Support | Currently supports web apps only (no mobile SDK yet). | Full web and mobile analytics tracking. |
| Pricing | Transparent pricing starting at $299/month (billed annually). All UI patterns and analytics included. | Complex pricing based on tracked events. Mixpanel and Amplitude can become costly as event volume grows. |
| Ease of Use / Setup | No-code setup via Chrome extension. Marketers and PMs can launch flows and analyze data instantly. | Technical setup required. Both tools have steep learning curves and rely on engineers or data teams. |
| Integrations | Integrates with Amplitude, Mixpanel, Segment, HubSpot, GA, Intercom, and others for two-way data sync. | Wide range of integrations with data warehouses and marketing tools but not designed for in-app action. |
