The short version

  • Only Amplitude has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Amplitude metered on event volume, so instrumenting more of a product raises the bill even if the audience does not grow; Iterable no pricing is published on the site; the homepage routes every visitor to Book a demo or Contact Sales rather than listing plans or figures
