Amplitude vs Quantum Metric (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Amplitude if

• Fits if you're a startup that stays under 2M events a month and pays nothing
• Works for teams of any size, since every plan has unlimited seats

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you just want visitor counts for a blog, which a simple page counter does with less setup
• Not for you if you want a published price for experiment results and SSO, which start on Growth
• Tight if you stay free and build lots of reports, with only 10 saved charts, 1 live experiment and 1 year of data
• Watch out: Plus has no price list in text, only a chart; it's $6,912 a year at 10M events
• Watch out: session replays are kept for 1 month on every plan, and longer is a Growth or Enterprise add-on

Pick Quantum Metric if

• Fits if you run a large site with a team to work through the findings
• Works for a company that wants replay and monitoring under one contract

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price on the page, as plans are quoted after a demo
• Not for you if you need a free plan or self-serve trial, as there isn't one
• Skip it if you are a small site or a solo owner, as it's built for large teams
• Watch out: data streaming, contact center, employee experience and enrichment are add-ons

Amplitude

• Plus has no price list in text: it is free to 2M events a month, then billed by volume, and the pricing page's chart is the only published figure.
• Experiment results, A/B/n testing for feature flags and SSO start on Growth, which is priced through sales.
• Session replays are kept for 1 month on every plan; longer retention is an add-on for Growth and Enterprise.
• Free keeps 1 year of data and 10 saved charts; Plus keeps 2 years.

Quantum Metric

• No prices are published; plans are custom and quoted after a demo.
• Price follows the number of digital properties and session volume, plus the level of customer success service.
• Data streaming, contact center, employee experience and enrichment are add-ons to the base agreement.
• The pricing page names no free plan or self-serve trial.
