What is OpenPanel?

OpenPanel aims to pair the power of Mixpanel with the ease of Plausible. It tracks events and page views, then lets you build funnels, cohorts and retention charts, look at individual user profiles and session history, and watch session replays. A simple web analytics view covers traffic sources and pages. It can be used as a hosted service or self-hosted with ClickHouse, PostgreSQL, Redis and Kafka.

Good fit if

  • You want Mixpanel-style product analytics without sending data to a US vendor.
  • You want both marketing and product metrics in one tool.

Look elsewhere if

  • You need feature flags and experiments too: PostHog.
  • You only need page views: GoatCounter.
