Mixpanel was overkill. Plausible had no funnels. So I built Tracetics.

I was tired of paying $500/month for Mixpanel — so I built my own funnel analytics

Hey IHs,

I spent two days integrating Mixpanel — then saw the pricing page.
$500/month for funnel analytics. For a solo developer with maybe 200 users.

So I closed the tab and started building my own.

Tracetics is what came out of that frustration: funnel analytics for developers, without the enterprise pricing and the 3-week onboarding process.

The entire integration is one HTTP POST:

POST /api/v1/events
X-OL-Tenant-Key: your-key
X-OL-App-Key: your-app-key
{ "event_name": "signup_started", "user_identifier": "user_42" }

From there you build funnels in the dashboard and see exactly where users drop off. There's also a TypeScript SDK on npm if you prefer that.
