What is Amplitude?

Amplitude is a digital analytics platform that helps product teams understand user behavior, test features, and optimize growth through data-driven decision-making. The platform combines product analytics, session replay, heatmaps, and experimentation tools to track the full customer journey across web and mobile applications. Amplitude serves over 11,000 digital products and is used by product, marketing, data, and engineering teams across industries including financial services, healthcare, ecommerce, and B2B software.

The core analytics engine captures event-based data to reveal how users interact with products. Session replay visualizes individual user sessions, while heatmaps show aggregate click and scroll patterns. Feature experimentation allows teams to A/B test product changes and personalization rules before wider rollout. Feature management enables controlled feature flag deployment across user segments. Marketing analytics provides conversion metrics and customer acquisition insights, while activation tools unify data across teams to drive retention and monetization. Action guides and surveys collect qualitative feedback directly from users within the product.

Amplitude now emphasizes AI-powered features, including an AI Assistant for support powered by product data, AI Agents that autonomously sense and optimize issues 24/7, and an AI Visibility tool that tracks brand mentions in LLM outputs for SEO insights. The platform integrates with hundreds of third-party tools and offers an MCP (Model Context Protocol) plugin for Claude, Cursor, and other AI platforms, enabling users to query analytics directly from their preferred AI tool.

Pricing follows a freemium model with free tiers for startups and paid plans scaling with data volume and team size. The platform reports 174% year-over-year growth, an average 6-month payback period, and 217% ROI over 3 years for customers. Amplitude competes directly with Mixpanel, Heap, and Google Analytics 4,
