Replace Amplitude
Event tracking with heavy cohort and retention analysis on top.
Why teams move off Amplitude
Amplitude is excellent at behavioural cohorts and priced accordingly. Most teams use a fraction of it and pay for the ceiling.
What you give up
Cohort analysis and the experimentation tooling layered onto it.
This directory says so when an engine only covers part of the job. A replacement that needs a caveat is still worth knowing about — it just should not surprise you in week three.

Questions
- Is there an open-source alternative to Amplitude for Rails?
- Yes — Ahoy. It mounts into an application you already run, so there is no second deployment and no second database.
- What do I give up by replacing Amplitude?
- Cohort analysis and the experimentation tooling layered onto it.
- How do I replace Amplitude in a Rails app?
- Add ahoy_matey to your Gemfile, mount it in config/routes.rb at /ahoy, and run its migrations. The whole integration is two lines and a migration.
- How much does replacing Amplitude save?
- Amplitude is priced free tier, paid tiers scale. The engines here are open source, so the cost becomes the time to mount one and the resources it uses inside your existing application.
