By Red Kite Search Agency Created Updated 7 min read
Summary
A capable product analytics platform with a free plan, unlimited seats on every plan and a large G2 base. Paid plans are event-based and mostly quoted, so costs are unclear until you talk to sales, and it is built for product teams rather than client marketing reports. Pricing: Free plan with 2M events a month forever. Plus starts at $0 with the first 2M events free; Growth and Enterprise are custom.
What is Amplitude and who is it for in 2026?
Amplitude is a digital analytics platform with product analytics, session replay, experimentation, guides and surveys, and AI features. Every plan includes the full platform and unlimited seats, with usage priced by events.
Who it suits: Agencies that run product and growth analytics for software and app clients.
Amplitude is a digital analytics platform for product and growth teams. It combines product analytics, session replay, experimentation, guides and surveys, and AI agents, and every plan includes the full platform with unlimited seats.
Agencies that build and grow software products for clients use it to understand behavior and test changes. It is not a marketing report builder. This review covers the plans, the pricing model, and the fit.
| Detail | Summary |
|---|---|
| Best for | Startups to enterprises |
| Editorial score | 4.2 / 5 |
| Review-site ratings | G2 4.5 |
| Pricing | Free plan with 2M events a month forever. Plus starts at $0 with the first 2M events free; Growth and Enterprise are custom. |
How much does Amplitude cost for agencies in 2026?
Amplitude has a free plan with 2 million events a month, forever and without a credit card, at $0. The Plus plan starts at $0 with the first 2 million events free, scales to 70 million events, and requires a credit card. Growth and Enterprise are custom and event-based.
Plus adds custom events and formulas, 20 behavioral cohorts, alerts, heatmaps, and two years of data retention. Growth adds advanced behavioral exploration, currency conversion, monitoring and alerts, 20,000 monthly session replays, SSO, and project permissions. Enterprise adds data access controls, 50,000 session replays, and advanced user management.
Startups with under $10 million in funding and fewer than 20 employees can receive one free year of the Growth plan. For agency clients that fit that profile, the offer is worth raising early.
| Plan | Price | What stands out |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 per month (monthly billing) | 2M events a month forever; no credit card; 10K monthly session replays |
| Plus | $0 per month (monthly billing) | Starts at $0 with the first 2M events a month free; up to 70M events; 20 behavioral cohorts, alerts, heatmaps, 2-year retention |
| Growth | Custom | Event-based pricing; SSO and project permissions; 20K monthly session replays |
| Enterprise | Custom | Event-based pricing; data access controls; 50K monthly session replays; RBAC |
Is Amplitude useful for an agency?
For agencies that run product and growth work for software clients, yes. Every plan includes analytics, session replay, experimentation, guides, and surveys, and G2 reviewers value real-time insights and dashboards that save time.
For agencies that report on ads and SEO, it is the wrong shape and Google Analytics plus a reporting platform will serve better.
When a software client asks which features drive retention, Amplitude cohorts and funnels give a direct answer, and its experiments let you test a change instead of arguing about it. That is where the platform earns its place in an agency stack.
Unlimited seats also help on agency projects, since designers, developers, and client stakeholders can all open the same charts without a per-seat charge.
What is unclear about Amplitude pricing and security?
Plus is priced by usage and Growth and Enterprise are quoted, so the real cost is unknown until you talk to sales or use the bill estimator. Some G2 reviewers say the number of events can be hard to navigate.
Certifications, support options, and a mobile app were not stated on the pricing page. SSO and project permissions begin on Growth.
What integrations, security, and support does Amplitude offer?
Features beyond price decide whether a tool fits your agency stack and your clients' security questions. This is what Amplitude states publicly, as checked in October 2026.
| Area | What Amplitude offers |
|---|---|
| Integrations | Collaboration and integrations are included on every plan; a connector count was not stated |
| Security | SSO and project permissions on Growth; data access controls and advanced user management on Enterprise; Certifications were not stated on the pricing page |
| Support | Support options were not stated on the pricing page |
| Apps | No mobile app stated |
