Ask where a customer came from, then ask whether that customer returned to the product. Test the first with a payment-backed journey in AnalyticFast and the second with your Mixpanel retention workflow. A single winner is unnecessary if the questions belong to different teams.

Interpreting differences
A purchase recorded on a return page may arrive at a different time from a provider webhook. Align timezones and reporting windows, then check currency and refund handling. Compare transaction IDs before comparing attributed totals. Treat an unmatched payment as a measurement gap to investigate.
AnalyticFast connects recorded visits to payments through configured integrations or its payment API. Matching depends on available identifiers and the visits actually recorded; it cannot reconstruct every blocked, cross-device, or offline journey. Its browser tracker is not a complete server access log.
Make the decision concrete
- Identify which teams use retention and behavioral reports.
- Audit event definitions and identity merging before migrating.
- Price the expected volume and billing term, not only the first paid example.
Record which tool answers your weekly decision with the least additional work. Keep a separate product analytics or advertising tool if that workflow remains useful.
