Reviewer scorecard
“Behavioral cohorts and the query engine are powerful. Best for understanding complex user journeys.”
“Write analytics once, send to every tool. The destination catalog and identity resolution are genuinely valuable.”
“PostHog offers similar features with open source and better pricing. Hard to justify Amplitude's enterprise pricing.”
“Absurdly expensive at scale. RudderStack is the open-source alternative that does the same job.”
“The CDP + analytics + experimentation convergence is the right direction. Amplitude is well-positioned.”
“Customer data infrastructure is essential but commoditizing. Segment's Twilio integration creates a unique data + communication platform.”
