Overview
Amplitude is a digital analytics platform covering product and marketing analytics, session replay, heatmaps, feature and web experimentation, feature flags, guides and surveys, and data activation. Teams instrument events through SDKs and query them via dashboards or a natural-language agent. Data can also be reached through MCP from tools such as Claude and Cursor.

Strengths and trade-offs
Strengths
- Free plan: 2M events/month, no credit card, no time limit
- Unlimited seats on every plan
- Full platform on all plans: replay, experiments, guides, surveys
- MCP access from Claude, Cursor and other AI tools on all plans
Trade-offs
- Growth and Enterprise prices are not published; you must contact sales
- Plus pricing is event-volume based, so the rate is only shown in a bill estimator
- Free plan caps replays at 10K/month and limits experiments, guides and surveys
- SSO, project permissions and RBAC require Growth or Enterprise

How this score is made up
Each dimension is scored out of 100 and combined into the headline score using fixed weights.
MCP support
Whether an agent can drive the product through the Model Context Protocol, and how much setup that takes.
API quality
Public API surface: machine-readable spec, official SDKs, documented auth, errors, rate limits and versioning.
Documentation
Publicly reachable docs — coverage, freshness, code samples and machine readability.
Agent friendliness
How readable the site is to an automated client: llms.txt, structured data, server-rendered content, crawler access.
Pricing transparency
Whether real prices are published, self-serve signup exists, and usage costs are knowable without a sales call.
Changelog
A public, dated record of what shipped and when — the clearest signal that a product is still alive.
Marketing site structure
Whether the site answers a buyer's questions: clear positioning, the pages that matter, and accessibility.
Page speed
How fast the site loads for real visitors: Chrome UX Report 75th-percentile LCP, INP and CLS, with a Lighthouse mobile run standing in where a site has too little traffic for field data.
Operational trust
Status page and incident history, security disclosure, compliance and data-processing documentation.
Measured, but not part of the score
Useful to know, but not a mark for or against the product — so these do not affect the ranking.
Openness
Source availability, self-hosting, data export and open standards. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — paid SaaS is not worse for being paid SaaS.
Maintenance
Release cadence and repository activity. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — it is only measurable for open repositories.
