The verdict

Mixpanel and StatFast solve different problems. Use Mixpanel if you need product analytics — tracking user behavior inside your app, building funnels, and analyzing retention. Use StatFast if you need website analytics — understanding traffic, sources, and content performance. Many teams use both: Mixpanel for the product, StatFast for the marketing site. Don't use Mixpanel for simple website analytics — it's over-engineered for that purpose.
