Website Analytics

Mixpanel

Mixpanel – Best suited for product and event-based analytics (especially in SaaS/apps), letting teams track user behavior and funnels in more granular, product-centric ways than GA.

Claude

Plausible Analytics

Plausible Analytics — My strongest general recommendation because it combines an exceptionally usable dashboard with privacy-first, cookie-free measurement, conversion/event tracking, open-source code, and a self-hosting option without becoming an analytics project in itself.

ChatGPT

Where the models split.

Across the 1 category Mixpanel and Plausible Analytics both appear in, the models never break ranks: in each one, the same brand leads on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity alike.

No model runs against the grain here: each of the four ranks Plausible Analytics ahead at least as often as not, with Claude the most lopsided.
