Amplitude is a great product. We tested alot of similar products and Amplitude was by far the best. The only negative I have found is their pricing which is free up to quite a generous level to be honest but then it suddenly becomes really expensive.

I agree, it quickly becomes exorbitant. I used to manage a product used to record data points in fields - millions of datapoints a day and this cost us just too much money in my opinion compared to what we really learned from Amplitude.

Advice: Talk to your users:)

I wish they would have event volume pricing option rather than just MTU, same with Mix+Segment. Very inflexible if the site you run has lots of infrequent users.

Mixpanel does event volume pricing now

Just wanted to second all of this. It’s an awesome product, but very expensive for a small company.
