OpenPanel: The Open-Source Mixpanel Alternative You Can Self-Host

If you’ve ever used a product analytics platform like Mixpanel, you already know how useful it can be. You can see what users are doing, where they drop off, which features they use, how long they stay, and whether they actually convert.

The problem is that analytics can get expensive, complicated, and increasingly dependent on third-party infrastructure.

That’s where OpenPanel comes in.

OpenPanel is an open-source product analytics platform designed as an alternative to Mixpanel. It gives you things like funnels, cohorts, user profiles, session replay, dashboards, A/B testing, revenue tracking, and real-time analytics — while also giving you the option to run everything on your own infrastructure.

And the interesting part isn’t just the dashboard.

It’s the architecture underneath it.

What Exactly Is OpenPanel?

OpenPanel helps answer questions like:

• What are my users doing?
• Which features are they using?
• Where are users dropping out of my signup flow?
• Which users are likely to convert?
• How much revenue is each customer generating?
