Mixpanel setup
We implement and configure Mixpanel product analytics: the event schema (tracking plan), key events and properties, user identification, funnels, retention and basic reports/dashboards. So you see how people actually use the product rather than guessing. Honestly upfront: this is behavior-measurement setup, not doing the analysis for you and not growing the product; and data quality depends on a well-designed event schema.
Mixpanel setup — overview

Mixpanel setup is a one-off product-analytics implementation project: we design the event schema (tracking plan) — which events and properties to track so funnels and cohorts can be built later; we implement tracking (via SDK on the site/in the app or server-side and GTM), set up user identification (identify/merge), key events, user/event properties, basic funnels, retention reports and dashboards. Honestly about requirements: access to code/the app or to server-side event sending is needed — Mixpanel is about actions inside the product, not just pageviews. Honestly about the schema, this is key: Mixpanel's value is a well-thought tracking plan; 'dumping events randomly' = chaos and distrust in the data; poor or inconsistent tagging = wrong funnels (garbage in, garbage out). Honestly about the essence: this is collection and basic-report setup, NOT product analysis-conclusions and NOT metric growth — Mixpanel shows behavior, while hypotheses, conclusions and product improvements are made by you or your analyst; the implementation itself does not raise retention or conversion. Honestly about correlation: funnels and retention show what happens and correlations, not a proven cause — why people drop off needs investigation (including experiments). Honestly about the platform: Mixpanel has a free tier with an event limit; as volume grows a paid plan is needed — billed directly by Mixpanel, separate from our work. Honestly about maintenance: when the product changes the schema needs upkeep. Privacy: behavior collection needs consent/a policy, the legal assessment is given by a lawyer, we do not guarantee compliance. An important boundary: this is Mixpanel setup, not end-to-end web analytics like GA4/Metrica (a different task) and not the product analysis itself. If you have a simple brochure site with no product scenarios, Mixpanel is overkill — basic web analytics is enough. Picture this: instead of 'we don't understand where people get stuck in the product' you see funnels and retention by real actions. The base price starts from 22,000 ₽ per project; it depends on the number of events and platforms (site/app).
Problems we solve
- You do not understand how users actually behave in the product.
- Events are tagged chaotically, you do not trust funnels and data.
- There is no retention and cohort analysis by actions.
- The web counter shows visits but not product scenarios.

FAQ
Will Mixpanel raise retention and conversion?
No. Mixpanel shows behavior, but by itself it does not raise the metrics. Hypotheses, conclusions and product improvements are made by you or an analyst; growth is separate work, not a consequence of the implementation.
How is Mixpanel different from GA4/Metrica?
GA4/Metrica are about web traffic and sources; Mixpanel is about user actions inside the product (funnels, retention, event cohorts). They are often used together. For a simple brochure site Mixpanel is overkill.
Is the Mixpanel plan included in the price?
No. There is a free plan with an event limit; as volume grows a paid one is needed, billed directly by Mixpanel — separate from our setup work.
