The short answer
Editorial assessmentJune compared with Mixpanel
The closest self-serve substitute for a small B2B team. Mixpanel's group analytics can make the company the unit of analysis, which recovers June's core idea, but it is a setting to configure rather than the product's default posture, and nothing auto-generates a starter report set. Mixpanel also has a usable free tier and transparent event-based pricing, which is what June looked like before October 2024. Expect more configuration and more analytical ceiling.
Choose June if
Historically: seed to Series A B2B SaaS teams that needed account-level usage analytics fast, without a data team or a tracking plan, and that already ran Segment. As of 2026 the honest answer is that it is not for anyone, because the product no longer exists; the profile is retained for teams evaluating its successors or planning a migration off it.
Choose Mixpanel if
Product and growth teams at startups and small software companies who want funnels, retention, and cohort analysis that a product manager can drive without SQL, who value event-based rather than seat-based billing so everyone gets a login, and who are happy to buy flags, experiments, and error monitoring from someone else.

13 attributes| Attribute | June | Mixpanel |
|---|---|---|
| Category | Product Analytics | Product Analytics |
| Starting price | No longer sold (product wound down 8 August 2025); the last published self-serve price was $149 per month on the Growth plan before it was retired in October 2024 (free trial) | $0 (Free plan, 1M events per month), Growth starts at $0 and scales with volume (free plan available) |
| Pricing model | Historic. June began with a freemium model (free up to roughly 1,000 active users, Growth at $149 per month, custom pricing above that). In October 2024 it removed the free plan and moved to a single all-in-one plan, quote-only, tiered by monthly active users, with every feature included at every tier and a 14-day trial. The product wound down on 8 August 2025 and is no longer sold; no current price exists. | Usage-based on events ingested per month, with unlimited seats on every plan and session replay metered separately. Three plans: Free, Growth (self-serve with volume discounts), and Enterprise (quoted, optionally metered on monthly tracked users instead of events). |
| Free plan | No | 1 million events per month and 10,000 session replays per month, with unlimited seats and the core Insights, Funnels, Retention, and Flows reports included. |
| Free trial | Historically 14 days on the all-in-one plan; no trial is available now | No fixed-length trial; the free plan is permanent, and Growth features can be evaluated within it |

| Setup time | Historically the fastest in the category: connecting an existing Segment, RudderStack, or Freshpaint source produced auto-generated reports within minutes, and a direct SDK install was an afternoon. Getting company-level reporting right took longer, since it required engineering to send group calls with the right traits. | Under an hour to first chart if you use Autocapture on a web app, or a day or two of engineering to instrument a deliberate event schema across web and mobile. Getting to trustworthy analytics, as opposed to a chart, is a one to two week project because it involves deciding what your product's key actions actually are. |
| Learning curve | Low by design. The templated reports meant most users never had to learn a query builder, and the vocabulary (active companies, power users, slipping away) mapped onto questions teams already asked. June AI's SQL editor was the only surface that assumed technical skill. | Low for consumers of reports and moderate for builders. The report builder is genuinely learnable by non-technical staff in an afternoon. The harder skill is analytical rather than technical: knowing which funnel is worth building and not chasing a metric that moves for uninteresting reasons. |
| Platforms | Web application (SaaS), JavaScript and React SDKs, Node, Python, and Ruby server SDKs, HTTP API, Segment, RudderStack, and Freshpaint as CDP sources | Web (JavaScript SDK with optional Autocapture), iOS and Android native SDKs, React Native and Flutter, Electron desktop apps, Server-side SDKs for Python, Node, Java, Ruby, PHP, and Go, HTTP ingestion API, Web app plus iOS and Android viewer apps |

Strengths and limitations
June
Strengths
- The company-level data model was genuinely differentiated: B2B retention, expansion, and churn questions answered at the account level by default rather than by workaround.
- Time to first insight was measured in minutes because reports were auto-generated from templates on connection rather than built from an empty canvas.
- It fitted the existing stack instead of replacing it, reading from Segment, RudderStack, or Freshpaint rather than demanding fresh instrumentation.
- Slack alerts and CRM write-back put usage signals in front of sales and customer success, who are the people who act on them.
Limitations
- The product no longer exists. June wound down on 8 August 2025, signups are closed, and the website now serves an acquisition notice; the YC profile lists the company as inactive.
- Data was not retained indefinitely after the wind-down: customers had a thirty-day export window, so a team that missed it has no route back to its historical event data.
- Company-level reporting depended on correctly implemented group calls. Where engineering had not sent group traits, June fell back to inferring accounts from email domain, which broke for customers using consumer email addresses or multiple domains.
- No session replay, no feature flags, no experimentation, and no in-app guides, so June was always one tool among several rather than a platform.
Mixpanel
Strengths
- The best self-serve analysis interface in the category for non-technical users; a product manager can build a funnel with a breakdown in minutes without SQL or a data team.
- Event-based billing with unlimited seats means analytics can be genuinely company-wide rather than rationed to whoever holds the licences.
- A free tier of 1 million events and 10,000 replays per month that is a working product, plus a startup program that makes the first year free for young, lightly funded companies.
- Session replay is properly integrated with the event data across web, iOS, Android, React Native, and Electron, so a funnel drop-off becomes a video rather than a hypothesis.
Limitations
- No feature flags, no experimentation engine, no in-app guides, and no error monitoring, so an integrated product stack means three or four vendors instead of one.
- The event meter punishes autocapture and high-volume anonymous traffic, and the cost model is genuinely hard to forecast before you have shipped instrumentation and watched real volume for a month.
- Session replay is a companion feature rather than a debugging platform; the 30 day default retention and the absence of deep network, console, and error inspection put it well behind LogRocket.
- Default event retention is now two years, which quietly caps long-range historical analysis unless negotiated.
Pricing compared
June
Historic. June began with a freemium model (free up to roughly 1,000 active users, Growth at $149 per month, custom pricing above that). In October 2024 it removed the free plan and moved to a single all-in-one plan, quote-only, tiered by monthly active users, with every feature included at every tier and a 14-day trial. The product wound down on 8 August 2025 and is no longer sold; no current price exists.
- Free (retired October 2024)$0
- Growth (retired October 2024)$149
- All-in-one (October 2024 to August 2025)Quote only
For its first four years June was one of the best value purchases in product analytics for small B2B SaaS: $149 a month bought account-level retention and adoption reporting that would otherwise have meant an Amplitude or Mixpanel contract plus a data person to configure it. That value evaporated in two steps. The October 2024 move to quote-only pricing aimed at companies above $1M ARR removed the segment the tool was best for, and the August 2025 wind-down removed the product. Any team currently budgeting for June should redirect the line item; the vendor-recommended destination is Amplitude, and the closest self-serve substitutes for the company-level model are Mixpanel with group analytics enabled or PostHog with a group type configured.
Mixpanel
Usage-based on events ingested per month, with unlimited seats on every plan and session replay metered separately. Three plans: Free, Growth (self-serve with volume discounts), and Enterprise (quoted, optionally metered on monthly tracked users instead of events).
- Free$0
- GrowthStarts at $0
- EnterpriseQuoted, from roughly $20,000 per year on MTU-based plans
For a small business the value case is unusually clean. At 10,000 monthly users doing perhaps thirty deliberate events each, you are at 300,000 events and the free plan covers you outright with unlimited seats. At 100,000 monthly users on the same instrumentation discipline you are around 3 million events, which lands in the middle of Growth and, at published entry rates before volume discounting, is a few hundred to roughly a thousand dollars a month depending on how the commitment is structured. The number that decides your bill is not your user count, it is how disciplined your instrumentation is: a team with forty well-chosen events pays a fraction of what an Autocapture-everything team pays at identical traffic. Judged against seat-priced competitors, Mixpanel is cheap for wide access and fair for careful teams, and expensive only for teams who never bothered to decide what to track.
Editorial verdict on each
June
June was a good product with a real idea: in B2B SaaS the account is the unit that renews, so the account should be the unit the analytics tool reasons about, and reports should exist before anyone asks for them. For four years that combination made it the most sensible product analytics purchase a small B2B software company could make, and its support and speed-to-insight earned it a review record most vendors would envy. None of that is buyable now. The company removed its free plan in October 2024 to chase customers above $1M ARR, then wound the product down entirely on 8 August 2025 when the founding team joined Amplitude, leaving customers a thirty-day export window. This profile exists as a record and a migration aid rather than a recommendation: if you are here because a spreadsheet still lists June as a vendor, the line item should be closed and the tracking code removed, and the realistic replacements are Amplitude if you want the documented path, or PostHog and Mixpanel if you want June's old price point and are willing to configure account-level analysis yourself.

Mixpanel is the safest first analytics purchase a small software company can make. The free tier is a working product rather than a teaser, billing on events with unlimited seats means the whole team gets access, and the analysis interface is the one non-technical people actually use rather than abandon. Buy it if your questions are about conversion, retention, and feature adoption, and if you are comfortable buying flags, experiments, and error monitoring from other vendors. Do not buy it as a session replay tool, do not buy it to measure a marketing site, and do not switch on Autocapture without watching the event meter for a week first. The single thing that determines whether Mixpanel is cheap or expensive is instrumentation discipline, and that is entirely within your control.
