Reviewer scorecard
“Behavioral cohorts and the query engine are powerful. Best for understanding complex user journeys.”
“Open-source Segment alternative with warehouse-native architecture. Self-hosting means your data never leaves your infra.”
“PostHog offers similar features with open source and better pricing. Hard to justify Amplitude's enterprise pricing.”
“Why pay Segment when RudderStack does the same job with open source and better warehouse support?”
“The CDP + analytics + experimentation convergence is the right direction. Amplitude is well-positioned.”
“Warehouse-native CDP is the right architecture. Data should live in your warehouse, not a vendor's platform.”
