I’m struggling with tracking conversion events in our onboarding flow.
Amplitude feels out of reach cost-wise, while Firebase Analytics lacks depth for funnels.
What tools have worked well for you?
I’ve been using UXCam for mobile app onboarding and it works pretty well for the price point.
You get session recordings plus heatmaps which helps you see exactly where users get confused during onboarding.
The funnel tracking isn’t as fancy as Amplitude but it shows conversion rates between steps clearly enough to make decisions.
Consider using Mixpanel. It offers good funnel tracking and might help identify drop-off points better than Firebase.
PostHog is worth checking out. It is an open source option that gives proper funnel analysis without the Amplitude price tag.
You can self-host to keep costs down or use their cloud version. The event tracking is solid and you can see where users drop off with session recordings.
It provides actionable insights for conversion, not just pretty charts.
Firebase is fine for most. Keep it simple.
