I hate to be "that guy", but I use their analytics too, along with in-app push notifications that can be targeted to groups of users. Anyone have experience and recommendations for alternatives that are just as easy to implement in an iOS or OS X app?

I use Google Analytics, Flurry Analytics, Facebook Analytics and Fabric all with custom events. Fabric is great for real-time. Mixpanel seems to be extremely costly depending on what type of app or game you have.

For broadcast push notifications, I use PushWoosh. They have a lot of features that Parse Push doesn't for broadcast notifications.

As for the in-app client-based push notification triggered by liking or commenting on a post or profile, I have no idea how to replace that without Parse. Hopefully they'll included some sort of guide to help with that migration.

Mixpanel

I'll second MixPanel, but also Fabric.io (their crashlytics product).
