Digital product teams today face one of their biggest challenges: understanding user behavior end-to-end, from in-product interactions to revenue outcomes. Project managers, marketing specialists, C-level executives, and technical teams all want insight into how feature adoption, user segmentation, and drop-offs in specific funnel stages translate into revenue impact. For this reason, supporting both product analytics and revenue analytics with the right tools forms the foundation of a company’s growth strategy.

At this point, two platforms stand out: Mixpanel and ChartMogul.
Both provide critical value for data-driven organizations, yet they differ significantly in their focus areas, data models, and intended use cases. In this article, we compare these two powerful tools in detail, examine their usage scenarios, and explore the benefits they offer to product teams. We also explain why Omtera’s expertise is essential for organizations looking to leverage Mixpanel at its full potential.

What Is Mixpanel? What Does It Offer?

Mixpanel is an event-based analytics platform designed to analyze user behavior and product performance. It enables product teams to understand how users interact with the product in real time, segment them intelligently, and make decisions based on trustworthy data.

Key Capabilities of Mixpanel

• Event Tracking: Detailed tracking of every user action within the product.
• Funnel Analysis: Identifies where users drop off in multi-step journeys.
• Retention Analysis: Measures how and when users return to the product.
• Cohort Segmentation: Allows sophisticated grouping based on behavioral patterns.
• A/B Test Analysis: Evaluates the performance of product experiments.
• Real-Time Dashboards: Enables teams to make rapid, informed decisions.

Mixpanel is indispensable for product teams, marketing departments, and growth units. Additionally, as a Mixpanel Certified Partner, Omtera provides expert support in tracking plans, data architecture, dashboard setup, and enablement. This ensures organizations not only implement Mixpanel correctly but also use it sustainably and strategically.

What Is ChartMogul? What Does It Offer?

ChartMogul is a revenue analytics platform built specifically for SaaS companies operating with subscription models. Its primary focus is not how the product is used, but how much revenue it generates.

Key Capabilities of ChartMogul

• MRR / ARR calculations
• Churn, contraction, and expansion analysis
• Revenue cohorts
• LTV calculations
• Billing integrations (Stripe, Paddle, Recurly, etc.)
• Revenue attribution

ChartMogul is ideal for CFOs, revenue operations teams (RevOps), and growth teams. However, it does not provide deep insights into product usage, user behavior, or in-product interactions.

Can They Be Used Together?

Many SaaS companies use the Mixpanel + ChartMogul combination because:

• ChartMogul shows revenue changes.
• Mixpanel helps explain the user behavior behind those changes.

For example:

• ChartMogul: “Net new MRR increased by $12,000 this month.”
• Mixpanel: “This growth resulted from the ‘Pro Segment’ adopting the newly released feature X at a high rate.”

For SaaS companies aiming to read revenue and product insights together, these two platforms complement one another perfectly.
