New visitors Mixpanel vs Google Analytics -


i can't figure out why there's quite significant (~30%) difference between new visits figure mixpanel , ga. here's how implemented metrics mixpanel:

    if(!mixpanel.get_property("first visit")) {       mixpanel.register_once({ "first visit": $.now() });       mixpanel.track("visit");     } 

is there wrong code? there better way it? want implement signup funnel mixpanel (first visit -> sign form -> sign up), can't afford tracking every single visit, track first one. though daily "visit" events differ 30% new visitors analytics , spoils funnel.

your code functioning correctly(i've checked) difference due way both services track users

google analytics relies exclusively on keeping track of users via cookie (the average time of cookie expires in 30 days).

with mixpanel, can utilize user_id or other id makes sense business last longer cookie.
