Certainly! I can provide you with some information about Mixpanel's pricing based on the knowledge sources. Mixpanel offers event-based pricing that scales with your usage. Here's a breakdown of the cost per event for different plans and thresholds: 1. Free Plan: - Up to 1M events per month at no cost2. Growth Plan: - The first 1M events per month are free - For usage beyond 1M events, the additional data rate is $0.00028 per event3. Enterprise Plan: - Custom pricing is available for higher volumesIt's important to note that Mixpanel offers volume discounts, so the cost per event decreases as you purchase higher volumes upfront. For the most accurate and up-to-date pricing information, I recommend checking Mixpanel's pricing page or contacting their sales team for custom Enterprise plans.Sources: Docs Billing: How Mixpanel pricing works> Plans that grow with you Part 1Remember that pricing may change over time, so it's always best to verify the current rates directly with Mixpanel.

You're right to point that out, and I apologize for any confusion. Let me clarify based on the most recent information from Mixpanel's pricing structure.According to the latest update from Mixpanel, the Growth plan now includes the first 1M events for free each month. This is a recent change that has been implemented to make their pricing more accessible and straightforward.As for the pricing calculator starting at 1.5M events, this is likely because the first 1M events are already included for free in the Growth plan. The calculator is probably designed to show pricing for additional events beyond the free 1M threshold.Here's what we know from the most recent information: 1. The first 1M events per month are free on the Growth plan. 2. Any usage over 1M events will be charged at the additional data rate. 3. For annual Growth plans, Mixpanel requires a larger pre-committed volume (more than 1M monthly events).More analytics, less money: Introducing simpler, better pricing from Mixpanel states: "Our Growth plan now starts with 1M events per month included for free. This means any usage under 1M monthly events on our Growth plan costs $0 and includes same advanced analytics features our Growth plan has always offered"If you're seeing a discrepancy between this information and what's displayed on the pricing calculator, it might be worth reaching out to Mixpanel's support team for the most up-to-date and accurate pricing information. The pricing structure may have been recently updated, and there could be a lag in updating all parts of their website.

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, Mixpanel's pricing per event on the Growth plan does differ depending on how much you commit to. The price per event is not the same regardless of volume. Here's what we know: 1. Volume discounts: Mixpanel offers volume discounts, which means that the cost per event decreases as you purchase higher volumes upfront. This is mentioned in the Docs Billing: How Mixpanel pricing works> source, which states: "We bake volume discounts into our pricing, so if you are often tracking more than 1 million monthly events, it may be better to upgrade to the right size plan on the Pricing page — you'll pay less per event."2. Additional data rate: The additional data rate (the price you pay for events over your plan limit) also varies based on your committed volume. As mentioned in the same source: "Purchasing higher volumes upfront will lower that additional data rate, as we include volume discounts in our pricing."3. Encouragement to choose the right plan size: Mixpanel encourages users to choose the appropriate plan size for their needs to benefit from these volume discounts. The source states: "If you are unable to adjust your plan, reach out to our Support team."Therefore, the price per event on the Growth plan does differ depending on how much you commit to. Committing to a higher volume of events upfront will generally result in a lower price per event due to the built-in volume discounts.For the most accurate and up-to-date pricing information specific to your needs, it's recommended to check Mixpanel's pricing page or contact their sales team directly.

Thank you for bringing this discrepancy to my attention. I apologize for the confusion, and I'll do my best to explain based on the information available in the knowledge sources.The difference in pricing you've noticed is indeed significant, and it's important to clarify. Let's break down what we know from the sources: 1. According to the Docs Billing: How Mixpanel pricing works> , the additional data rate mentioned is $0.00028 per event (not $0.0028 as you stated in your question). This rate is specifically for accounts that are only on a 1M monthly events plan.2. The price calculator modal you're referring to shows a much lower rate of $0.0000933 per event.There are a few possible explanations for this discrepancy: 1. Volume discounts: As mentioned earlier, Mixpanel offers volume discounts. The lower rate you're seeing in the price calculator modal ($0.0000933) might be reflecting a higher volume commitment, which would result in a lower per-event price.2. Recent pricing changes: Mixpanel has recently updated its pricing structure, as evidenced by the More analytics, less money: Introducing simpler, better pricing from Mixpanel blog post. It's possible that the pricing calculator has been updated to reflect new, lower rates, while the documentation hasn't been updated yet.3. Different plan tiers: The rate in the documentation might be referring to a specific plan or scenario, while the price calculator is showing rates for a different plan or volume tier.Given this discrepancy, I would strongly recommend reaching out to Mixpanel's support team or sales representatives for the most accurate and up-to-date pricing information. They can provide you with the correct rates and explain any differences between what you're seeing in the price calculator and what's stated in the documentation.It's also worth noting that pricing information can change rapidly, and sometimes different parts of a company's website or documentation may not be updated simultaneously. Always verify current rates directly with the company for the most accurate information.

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I don't have enough specific details to definitively answer whether Mixpanel checks the threshold monthly or annually for billing purposes. The sources don't explicitly address this particular aspect of their billing structure.However, I can provide some relevant information based on what we do know: 1. Mixpanel's pricing is generally based on monthly event usage. The Plans that grow with you Part 1 source mentions "Monthly events" as a key metric in their pricing tiers.2. For the Growth plan, we know that the first 1M events per month are free, as stated in the Docs Billing: How Mixpanel pricing works> source.3. The same source mentions that if you go over your prepaid amount, "the additional cost will be charged at the beginning of the next month based on your additional data rate."These points suggest that Mixpanel likely checks the threshold on a monthly basis rather than annually. However, they also offer annual plans, which might have different terms.To get a definitive answer on how exactly Mixpanel handles thresholds for monthly versus annual plans (such as your example of 2M per month vs 24M per year), I recommend contacting Mixpanel's sales or support team directly. They would be able to provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information on how they calculate and apply thresholds for different billing cycles.
