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
Metabase verdict
The best value in BI for teams under a few hundred people. Add a semantic layer before metric disputes start.
- Non-technical users genuinely self-serve
- Free self-hosted edition is fully capable
- Fast to deploy and adopt
