Keep your analytics. Add the gameplay.
Mixpanel is brilliant for the numbers. IV Metrics is the gameplay-native replay that sits alongside it.
Capture the game, not app screens
One lightweight SDK for the way games actually render — gameplay as real video, on iOS, Android, Amazon and Unity.
Overlays, not just events
Every tap and swipe drawn on the footage — see the mis-tapped button or the menu that wouldn’t move.
FPS & RAM, in context
Watch frames drop and memory spike with the video — the metrics a product-analytics tool was never built to capture.
Zero gameplay impact
Quality scales per device and IV won’t record on phones that can’t spare the RAM — your players never feel it.
Mixpanel vs IV Metrics
One is your analytics platform. The other is the gameplay replay built for games.
Frequently asked questions
How is IV Metrics different from Mixpanel?
Mixpanel measures your product — events, funnels, cohorts, and now app session replay — but it has no game-engine SDK and doesn’t capture engine-rendered gameplay or game signals like FPS. IV Metrics is the gameplay-native layer that records the game itself, alongside your analytics.
Can I use IV Metrics alongside Mixpanel?
Yes — that’s the intended setup. Keep Mixpanel for the numbers and add IV Metrics for the gameplay video the numbers can’t show.
Does IV Metrics affect game performance?
No. Video quality scales dynamically per device, and IV Metrics profiles over 11,000 device models to decide when not to record — so phones that can’t spare the headroom are left alone. It’s been tested on budget devices under 1.5GB of RAM with zero measurable impact on gameplay.
Which platforms and engines does it support?
One lightweight SDK covers iOS, Android, Amazon and Unity out of the box. It records the actual rendered game window rather than reconstructing your UI, so engine-rendered gameplay is captured as real video.
Does IV Metrics collect personal data?
No. Only the game window is captured — no system UI, no notifications, and no IP addresses, device identifiers or fingerprinting. It’s built with GDPR and COPPA in mind, so there are no consent banners to manage.
What exactly does it capture?
Real gameplay video with player taps and swipes drawn on top, plus device metrics like FPS, RAM and model alongside the footage. You can record invisibly in the background or trigger capture from any in-game event, such as StartLevel5.
Is it free to start?
Yes. You can sign up and start recording on the free plan with one lightweight SDK — no credit card required.
