OpenPanel

Known as the open-source Mixpanel alternative that respects user privacy, OpenPanel delivers a unified web and product analytics platform combining Mixpanel's behavioral analysis with the simplicity of Plausible and full data ownership through self-hosting. Cookieless tracking eliminates consent banners entirely while still capturing events, page views, sessions, user journeys, funnels, retention cohorts, and custom properties with full GDPR compliance by design. The 2.3 KB async script loads without blocking page rendering, and 16 official SDKs cover Next.js, React, Vue, Astro, Remix, Nuxt, Angular, Svelte, React Native, Swift, Kotlin, Python, PHP, Laravel, Express, and REST API for custom integrations. Real-time dashboards display live visitor counts, active sessions, and event streams as they happen. Custom chart builders create tailored visualizations from any tracked event with breakdowns by property, time period, and user segment. Session replay reconstructs individual user journeys showing every page visited, event triggered, and interaction recorded. Funnel analysis identifies conversion drop-offs with step-by-step breakdown and property filtering. Retention analysis measures how often users return with customizable time windows and cohort comparisons. A/B testing and variant tracking enable experiment measurement directly within the platform. Event notifications alert when specific events occur or thresholds are crossed. The self-hosted deployment uses Docker Compose with ClickHouse for high-speed analytical queries, PostgreSQL for metadata, and Redis for real-time processing — deployable on any VPS or Kubernetes cluster. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
