Amplitude
A product analytics and behavioral intelligence platform that helps product, marketing and data teams understand how users interact with their digital channels.
What is Amplitude?
Amplitude is a product analytics platform designed to go beyond classic traffic metrics. Where Google Analytics measures visits and page views, Amplitude analyzes users' behavioral events to answer key questions: why do users drop off? Which features drive retention? What path leads to conversion? Since 2023, Amplitude has transformed into a unified platform that also covers experimentation (A/B testing, feature flags), session replays, in-app guides and surveys, and an AI layer for proactive and predictive insights.
When should you use Amplitude?
It's a go-to platform for understanding your users' behavior at a functional level. Which features are being adopted? Where do users drop off in a funnel? Which segments have the best retention rate? It's particularly well suited to SaaS, mobile and e-commerce product teams who want to make data-driven decisions without systematically relying on a data team or SQL queries. It also stands out in continuous experimentation contexts, where growth teams need to connect A/B test results to deep behavioral metrics rather than simple click-through rates.
