Amplitude

Amplitude is a product analytics platform that tracks user behavior through events and interactions. Unlike traditional web analytics that focus on page views, Amplitude captures specific actions like button clicks, feature usage, and user flows to create detailed user journey maps.

The platform helps businesses answer critical questions like "Which features drive retention?" and "Where do users drop off in our funnel?" It provides real-time insights through advanced segmentation, cohort analysis, and behavioral tracking that help teams optimize their products and improve user experience.

Amplitude offers multiple pricing tiers from a free Starter plan to Enterprise solutions. The platform integrates with popular tools and provides features like A/B testing, user segmentation, and predictive analytics. It's trusted by product managers, growth teams, and data analysts who need to make informed decisions based on actual user behavior rather than guesswork.
