Attrifast vs Mixpanel

Mixpanel's free tier ends.
The bill doesn't.

Founders sign up for Mixpanel's free tier, start tracking events, and grow their traffic. Then the invoice arrives: $833, $2,000, $4,000+ per month — because Mixpanel charges per event. Attrifast is a flat $29/mo mixpanel alternative that shows which marketing channels drive your Stripe revenue, with no event metering ever.

The event trap: why event pricing creates anxiety

Event-based billing changes how you think about analytics. Instead of asking "what should I measure?" you start asking "what can I afford to measure?"

You hesitate before adding events

Every new event you instrument is a line item on your invoice. Teams end up under-tracking to avoid bill shock — defeating the purpose of analytics.

Traffic spikes become financial events

A viral moment, a Product Hunt launch, or a successful ad campaign all send your Mixpanel bill skyward — exactly when you want data most.

You need engineers to manage the cost

Controlling event volume requires coding decisions: sampling, batching, and deduplication. Your billing is now an engineering problem.

The free tier is a funnel, not a gift

Mixpanel’s 1M free events sounds generous. A single active-user product consumes that in days. By the time you depend on the tool, you're paying enterprise rates.

Attrifast has no event metering. Track every pageview, every visitor, every Stripe payment — the price is always $29/mo. No mental math, no billing anxiety, no engineering workarounds.
