Is it just me or does this look EXACTLY like Kissmetrics? It seems like it is a complete replica down to minute details, like how it's shaded, where dropdowns are placed, etc.
For reference: Kissmetrics UI (this is slightly old, mixpanel actually looks more like it now): http://s3.amazonaws.com/entp-tender-production/assets/0a7aa9032214d716f1b78108dd5c54a17c5ee8b8/kissmetrics_three_normal.png http://s3.amazonaws.com/entp-tender-production/assets/0a7aa9...

EDIT: wow, thanks for the downvotes... care to explain?
- dangrossman 15y agoI didn't downvote you, but it's not EXACTLY alike in any way... just clearly inspired, and I don't think there's anything wrong with offering the same report as another reporting tool.

- suhail 15y agoDesign is always about the details. Email me suhail@mixpanel.com and I'll be happy to give you a run down of 10 things that make our UI substantially different. Alternatively, feel free to play with both products and get a sense of it yourself.
- sahillavingia 15y agoIt turns out that certain elements just work best for certain things. A bar chart is probably just the best way of showcasing that kind of data. This happens all the time. People like standards (like logo on the top left). It makes the user feel more comfortable = win for UX! I know founders of both companies. I don't think they mind the similarity if it means their users are better off.
- tuhin 15y agoThis was the first thing that came to my mind after reading about it. I guess has to do more with the particular format working best.
