Mixpanel was the only product named in all 6 of 6 answers when we put six buyer questions about mobile analytics software to ChatGPT and Gemini on 6 August 2026. Each question ran one live web search, and we logged every product the two assistants named and every source domain they pulled from. This page is built only from that run.
We asked six versions of the same buying question, from the bare "best mobile analytics software" to "most affordable" and "best free." Across those 6 answers, ChatGPT and Gemini named 19 distinct product labels and cited 15 distinct source domains. If you sell in this category, this is a snapshot of what an AI assistant tells a buyer who has never heard of you.
The four products that carried the run
Four products did most of the work. Mixpanel appeared in 6 of 6 answers (100%). Amplitude, Firebase Analytics, and UXCam each appeared in 4 of 6 answers (67%). No other product cleared two appearances, so the gap between the top four and everyone else is wide.
Two brands were named under two spellings, and we kept them separate because the measurement did. Amplitude was named 4 times as "Amplitude" and once more as "Amplitude Analytics," so the brand shows up in 5 of 6 answers even though no single label reached 5. Firebase was named 4 times as "Firebase Analytics" and once as "Firebase." We did not sum these, because the honest point is that the assistants themselves are inconsistent about your name, and that inconsistency splits your visibility.
How the answer changed with the question
The shortlist moved a lot depending on how the buyer phrased the question, and that is the most important finding in this run. The bare question, "best mobile analytics software," returned 7 products. "Most affordable mobile analytics software" returned only 4, and Mixpanel was the only product named under the same label in both lists. Amplitude appeared in both too, but the affordability answer called it "Amplitude Analytics."
"Most affordable" surfaced products that appeared nowhere else. Amazon Pinpoint and Appfigures were named only in the affordability answer, 1 of 6 each, and never came up when the buyer asked for the "best" or "free" tool. The bare "best" answer, in turn, was the only one to name Adobe Analytics (1 of 6).
"Best free mobile analytics software" produced a different 7-product list again. It was the only answer to name Appsee (1 of 6), and it brought in Google Analytics, which otherwise appeared only in the general "recommendations" answer (2 of 6 total). Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, and UXCam anchored the free list, all of them also present in the paid-intent answers.
"Best mobile analytics software for small teams" named 8 products and was the only place Matomo and Telerik Analytics by Progress showed up, each 1 of 6. The general "recommendations" question stretched widest, also naming 8 products, and was the only answer to surface Localytics, Apple Analytics, and Splunk, each 1 of 6. "What mobile analytics software should I use" did the opposite and gave the tightest list of all: just Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, and UXCam, 3 products. Same category, same day, and the named set swings from 3 products to 8 on wording alone.
Where the answers came from
The answers leaned on community threads and independent roundups, not on vendor marketing. Three domains fed 6 of 6 answers each: Reddit, Quora, and userpilot.com. Gartner followed at 5 of 6. Those four sources sat behind every answer in the run.
Two community sites, Reddit and Quora, were cited in all 6 answers. If a buyer asks an assistant about mobile analytics today, a Reddit thread and a Quora thread are almost certainly shaping the reply. Roundup pages carried much of the rest: userpilot.com at 6 of 6, appfollow.io at 3 of 6, and mopinion.com, softwareadvice.com, and userpilot.medium.com at 1 each.
Here is the key insight for anyone who owns a product page: several vendors were cited from their own domain and got named. FullStory's own site was cited 3 of 6 and FullStory was named twice. Amplitude's own site was cited 2 of 6 and Amplitude was named 4 times. Firebase (firebase.google.com), Matomo (matomo.org), and Mixpanel (mixpanel.com) were each cited once from their own domain, and each was named. Your own content can be the page an assistant quotes, if it is the kind of page these assistants reach for.
Owning a cited page is not automatic, though. quantummetric.com was cited once as a source, but Quantum Metric was not named in any of the 6 answers. Being the source of a roundup does nothing for you if the roundup recommends other tools.
Review directories barely registered. G2 was cited in only 1 of 6 answers, and Capterra did not appear at all. softwareadvice.com appeared once. Gartner was the outlier among analyst-style sites at 5 of 6, but the pattern is clear: in this category, community threads and independent roundups moved the answers far more than the review directories a vendor usually watches.
What this means if you sell mobile analytics
If you sell mobile analytics, the takeaway is narrow: the 15 source domains, not your market share, decided who got named. Mixpanel reached 6 of 6 while its own domain was cited only once, so its dominance came from Reddit, Quora, and the roundups, not from its own marketing pages.
To get named more often, be present in the exact pages these answers used. That means the Reddit and Quora threads cited in all 6 answers, the userpilot.com and gartner.com articles behind 6 and 5 answers, and category roundups like appfollow.io (3 of 6). An assistant can only name you if you are in the text it retrieves.
It also means watching the phrasing. A product can win the "best" question and vanish on "most affordable," where only 4 products were named and 2 of them appeared in no other answer. If buyers in your category ask about price or a free tier, you need to be in the pages that answer those exact questions, not only the general "best" lists.
The full list, counted
Every product named across the 6 answers, most-named first. Share is out of 6 answers. Note that Amplitude also appears once as "Amplitude Analytics," and Firebase Analytics also appears once as "Firebase." We list the top labels as measured rather than folding the split labels together, because the split is itself a finding.
| Product | Named in | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Mixpanel | 6 of 6 | 100% |
| Amplitude | 4 of 6 | 67% |
| Firebase Analytics | 4 of 6 | 67% |
| UXCam | 4 of 6 | 67% |
| App Radar | 2 of 6 | 33% |
| FullStory | 2 of 6 | 33% |
| Google Analytics | 2 of 6 | 33% |
| Smartlook | 2 of 6 | 33% |
| Adobe Analytics | 1 of 6 | 17% |
Why we ran this, and where we fit
We do not sell mobile analytics software, so Glotier is correctly absent from all 6 of these answers, and we would not want to be in them. We ran the measurement to show what it looks like, not to slip our own name in.
What you just read is exactly what we do for a customer's own category. We ask this kind of buyer question to ChatGPT and Gemini, record every product named and every source cited, and show you the pages behind the answer. For mobile analytics that answer is led by Mixpanel at 6 of 6, sourced mostly from Reddit, Quora, and a short list of roundups. If you want to see where your product stands in your own category, the check is free, needs no account, and takes about a minute.
