What does it do?

Mobile hog

Product Analytics turns what people do in your product into answers you can act on. Autocapture tracks pageviews, clicks, and form submissions without extra code. From there you build trends, funnels, retention curves, paths, and SQL queries – then jump straight into the session recordings behind any data point when you need the 'why'.

Who is it for?

Product Analytics is used across teams depending on your role.

Role
Use cases
Product Engineers
Check whether what you shipped is being used – and fix drop-off before the next release

Growth Engineers
Find conversion leaks, measure experiments, and track activation end to end
Founders
Monitor KPIs on a shared dashboard without waiting on a data team
