Reviewer scorecard
“Behavioral cohorts and the query engine are powerful. Best for understanding complex user journeys.”
“Query Parquet files, CSVs, and Postgres directly with SQL. No ETL needed. The SQLite of analytics.”
“PostHog offers similar features with open source and better pricing. Hard to justify Amplitude's enterprise pricing.”
“Most analytics don't need a data warehouse. DuckDB on your laptop handles billions of rows faster than Snowflake.”
“The CDP + analytics + experimentation convergence is the right direction. Amplitude is well-positioned.”
“The shift from cloud warehouses to local-first analytics is real. DuckDB is leading that revolution.”
