The short version

  • Only Amplitude has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Amp purchased credits expire 12 months after purchase and subscription usage expires monthly, and Enterprise workspaces are billed at a 50 percent markup over individual and team rates, as of August 2026.; Amplitude metered on event volume, so instrumenting more of a product raises the bill even if the audience does not grow
