Google Analytics has a delay. Mixpanel is real-time and specifically aimed at certain events that you specify. So when someone clicks your sign up button, it fires an AJAX call and you see them do it in real-time, instantly.
- bentlegen 15y agoI like what MixPanel is doing, but I don't think it's fair to say that GA has a 24 hour delay. It's nothing close to real-time, but you can get results from the past few hours.
- jmtame 15y agoI'm looking at Google Analytics right now for my web site, but all I can see is yesterday's data. Is there somewhere to see the data collected today? Edit: I use both Analytics and Mixpanel, they're both great services. Google has its strengths, but I don't think event tracking and immediate feedback is one of them, which is where Mixpanel comes in.

- rokhayakebe 15y agoI am not a user of MP, but I can tell you once you go Real Time with your Analytics there just isn't a way for you to go back to even 5-minute-delay.
