Using customer data to build great product experiences that convert and retain users.

Amplitude does mobile analytics to help app developers optimize their in-app purchasing, engagement, and retention. Mobile app usage is growing at a rapid pace but the options for analytics aren’t adequate to meet mobile developer needs.

Amplitude works out of the box with minimal setup while having all the advanced features that used to be reserved for enterprise products. With Amplitude, developers can look at their funnels, retention, and revenues, as well as powerfully segment everything. All data is updated in real-time the second it comes in.

Amplitude scales up to hundreds of millions of events while also allowing you to drill down to the level of the individual user. Amplitude supports integration at any level, including access to the raw data for custom querying written in SQL.

We're 100% focused on building the analytics we always wanted for mobile apps.
