Twin Scores side by side
Amplitude
Human79
Agent82
Amplitude is a product analytics cloud used by growth and data teams for funnels, retention, and taxonomy. The chart UI is the human product. Ingestion APIs and the dashboard API serve agents. Heavier than PostHog for teams that want a vendor, not a repo.
Mixpanel
Human78
Agent81
Mixpanel is event analytics with a reputation for query speed and a mature JS SDK. Humans slice events. Agents ingest via HTTP. It remains a worldwide name in product analytics even as PostHog and Amplitude crowd the same search.
