Amplitude

Amplitude β€” Product analytics platform for tracking user behavior with funnels, cohorts, and retention charts.

-

Our Verdict

Best for enterprise product analytics with advanced cohorts. Amplitude offers freemium, paid from $61/mo (Plus). Moderate vendor lock-in.

Pros

  • Enterprise product analytics with advanced cohorts
  • warehouse-native mode (Snowflake/BigQuery)
  • Deep funnel and cohort analysis capabilities

Cons

  • Startup with <1K users β€” PostHog free tier is more generous
  • Want self-hosted β€” PostHog or Countly
  • Proprietary data formats add switching costs
Best for: Enterprise Not for: Startup with <1K users

When to Use Amplitude

Good fit if you need

  • Enterprise product analytics with advanced cohorts
  • Need warehouse-native mode (Snowflake/BigQuery)
  • Dedicated customer success team

Not the best choice if

  • Startup with <1K users β€” PostHog free tier is more generous
  • Want self-hosted β€” PostHog or Countly
  • Just need basic event tracking β€” Mixpanel is simpler

Consider instead: posthog, mixpanel
