We are already quite familiar with analytics but here's our course of reasoning for this site setup.
References:
Notes:
- Google Analytics
- Free forever
- Has user tracking (requires consent from users, which is good for internationalization)
- Mixpanel
- Free up to 25k events, 1k people - https://mixpanel.com/pricing/#engagement
- Steep price increase to $150/mo for 1M events + $150/mo for 50k people
- Has user tracking (nothing about consent)
- KissMetrics - Avoiding due to privacy controversy
- Anything else is either too expensive or lacks reputation (and thus trust for uptime)
Decision:
We are going with Google Analytics for now.
We are fearful of hitting 1 of the 2 Mixpanel quotas too quickly before we have income to afford it.
