The short version

  • Only Mixpanel has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Aha! sold as eight separate products rather than one subscription, so Roadmaps, Discovery, Ideas, Whiteboards, Builder, Develop, Teamwork and Knowledge are each priced per user; Mixpanel pricing can scale significantly at high volumes with expensive per-user rates
  • They diverge on capability: Aha! covers Strategic roadmaps, Mixpanel covers Event analytics.
