Reviewer scorecard
“The query builder is powerful and the SDK integration is clean. Better for product analytics than Google Analytics.”
“10-100x faster than pandas with better syntax. Lazy evaluation and parallel execution are game-changing for large datasets.”
“The free tier with 20M events is generous. Best pure product analytics tool if you don't need session replay.”
“The performance difference over pandas is not benchmarketing — it's real and measurable on any non-trivial dataset.”
“Not relevant for creative work. It's a product analytics tool for PMs and engineers.”
“Polars is replacing pandas for performance-sensitive work. Rust-powered data tools are the future.”
