Amplitude verdict

Worth it for product teams that will invest in instrumentation. Without that discipline it is an expensive chart generator.

  • Deep behavioural analysis without SQL
  • Strong retention and cohort tooling
  • Warehouse sync avoids a data silo

BigQuery verdict

The simplest warehouse to operate, especially inside Google Cloud. Enforce partitioning early.

  • Genuinely serverless with nothing to manage
  • Machine learning directly in SQL
  • Strong fit inside Google Cloud
