skip straight to 8:44 to get into the actual comparison (if you are even remotely familiar w/ GA)

Great video. Question though, is it worth adding same tracking code to both your marketing site and apps (web+mobile)? Is there any benefit to doing that? Can you track better funnels? Or would you track separately still with GA for pre sign up and mixpanel for post sign up?

Interesting. The GA Terms of Service - Privacy states you can't report user details such as emails. That is: "will not assist or permit any third party to, pass information to Google that Google could use or recognize as personally identifiable information". Yet, in MixPanel you can?

How to solve this error?. Mixpanel error: The Mixpanel library has already been downloaded at least once. Ensure that the Mixpanel code snippet only appears once on the page (and is not double-loaded by a tag manager) in order to avoid errors.Please let me know how to solve this.Looking forward to your reply

If I'm running a test, how does mixpannel sync into my website and edit its code for each A and B cohort? How deep can I go in changing features?

Would you be able to do a video about the ever more popular segment?

[prateekgangwal]

Isn't this all can be done with ga + gtm
Plus user id feature for logged in user or assigning of to your email list which in turn can be used as user id in ga

I feel that Reuben should have been clearer while speaking.

Mixpanel is too expensive, we use airgrow.com (not an advertising)
