Understand the full user journey from an all-in-one platform

Mixpanel brings every part of the product optimization workflow into a single platform, so you can move seamlessly from what happened, to why, to what to do next, without switching tools.

Understand the “what” and the “why” in one place: Jump from charts to session replays or heatmaps in a single click to get instant visual context behind user behavior.

Go from insight to action with built-in experiments & feature flags: Test ideas, roll out improvements, and measure impact all within Mixpanel — no separate experimentation stack required.

See how your metrics connect with Metric Trees: Visualize all your key metrics and their relationships in one view, helping you quickly diagnose issues and uncover the true drivers of performance.

Playback controls along the bottom let the viewer pause, scrub through the timeline, and change speed while reviewing how a specific user moved through the checkout flow.
