That's not true.

When I looked at MixPanel we were already at more than 8 million page views per month and wanting to track more events than that.

But as we wanted to try MixPanel, the best way was to start by sampling a small number of users and activities.

As our trial of the software progressed we found we got way more value out of sampling a smaller set that we could make sense of rather than measuring everything.

For us, MixPanel became one more tool in a wider toolset. We didn't see the value in jumping up to the paid level as we didn't feel it would replace all of the other tools.

Can you elaborate on the tools in a 'wider toolset'? I'm always eager to learn about new tools/services.
