About Amplitude

Amplitude is a web and mobile analytics platform that aims to provide access to the ‘behavioural layer’ of user data, which exists as an intermediate level between raw data and dashboards. Amplitude offers the ability to zoom in on individual data points to view the behavioral data, users and actions behind each point on a graph.

Amplitude’s user flows reveal which actions are the most commonly taken after users sign up, and which usually precede purchases made in-app, creating paths through the app. The behaviour of individual app users can be viewed with unlimited real-time activity feeds and user timelines.

Amplitude enables the measurement of conversion rates using funnels, which provide the ability to identify the points at which users drop out of sign-up, upgrade, or purchase processes. User retention can also be measured, plus stickiness graphs reveal how often users engage with the app.

Users can be segmented into groups for comparison across different metrics, such as conversion and retentions, on the same chart. Basic user demographics are tracked by default, and custom user properties can be defined as required. Custom behavioural cohorts can be created from individual data points and used to track conversion rates, retention, engagement, and more. Cohorts can also be used as a target audience for marketing campaigns.


Key benefits of Amplitude

User flows reveal which actions users most commonly take after sign-up, those usually preceding any in-app purchases, and allow users to visualize user paths taken through the app.

Use funnels to measure conversion rates and identify the points where users are withdrawing from sign-up, upgrade, or purchase processes.

Segment users into groups and compare multiple groups’ rates of conversion, retention, engagement, and more, on the same chart.

Zoom in on any data point to see the user actions making up that point.

Create custom cohorts from data points, and apply these across dashboards to further explore those user behaviors, or use them as custom target audiences.

Now we are using one tool instead of three tools in combination for the same thing.

Now we are using one tool instead of three tools in combination for the same thing.

Pros

With Amplitude, you can really dig very deep into the data you need. With this tool, you can measure both product and marketing metrics which provides you a holistic overview of everything you really need.

Cons

Setting up events you want to track can be tough. The overall tool learning curve can take a lot of time. Sometimes problems can occur in UTM tagging.

Best-in-class for Product Analytics

A couple of years ago our company BrainTesting launched a psychological evaluation platform, offering as a first product a renewed IQ test. I knew firsthand of the power of Amplitude and needed to understand why very few users where buying our product. In a breeze, we installed it in our landing website https://www.brain-testing.org and also on our application and pinpointed where the conversion issues were occuring. We could exactly tell which stages of the funnel where working and what users were doing.

We started with the Free product and I must say it is incredible the level of value they offer for free. Some advanced features are not available, yet it is so much nevertheless that you can do. If things go better, we will definitely upgrade soon.

After the initial analytical success, we have continued building analysis on Amplitude. First we prepared different analysis of how users behaved in our website. Second we analyzed in heavier detail how everything in the app went. Another great thing is how you can easily organize everything in order to be able to find it. Of course, there is work on your side first. Lastly, we created dashboards where we tracked how the main KPIs of those analysis are doing daily. Now we are focusing on diving deep into customer segments and how we can best tackle each experience.

We look forward to continue having Amplitude as our analytical go-to partner.

Pros

- Really powerful analytics visualizations: you can analyze your data in many different ways and do it fast
- Tons of advanced features: configuration, data ingestion and so on.
- Customer-focus: constantly listening to what the market needs and delivering
- Innovation: they are always ahead of the competition and launch the best features
- Great support team from past experiences

Cons

- It is pretty pricey, specially if your business is low-margin and high traffic
- The tool requires some learning effort. Is not very complicated, but you need to dedicate a bit to the basics. Some things could also be more intuitive.

Since Amplitude offers a free tier and is the most powerful tool, there was no doubt for us that it was the right choice. If we ever overcome the free tier maximum number of users, it will be because we are doing great and will be happy to upgrade.

Cheap analytics with a good set of features.

Pros

It is free the use and has a nice dashboard that is customizable. It has user profiles like Mixpanel but they are much harder to access as there is no searchable list of user profiles. Also has a real time stream of events.

Cons

It has no where near the features of others like Mixpanel. Doesn't have an iOS app or any API to access your analytics data. Also there is no prebuilt dashboard like Flurry where you can get a general overview instead you have to create your own dashboards/charts. I will probably go with Flurry for free analytics for my next project and if you are looking for something better Mixpanel is probably the best out there but it is very expensive.

The tool has allowed us to understand exactly how users are using the app and make critical business decisions based on this insight.

Pros

This tool is extremely easy to deploy yet extremely powerful - you can very easily monitor any aspect of your user's experience within the app, and use the web frontend to create amazing charts and graphs that give you full insight into the user's experience.

Cons

The only thing I didn't like was that user properties are only updated when an event is triggered; I would love those to be updated independently.
