Same story as Mixpanel: the data is the moat.
NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep paying — OpenAI has not replaced it
OpenAI's version overlaps, but does not finish the analytics job, so this one still earns its $61/mo.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- AI querying strengthened rather than replaced the warehouse. OpenAI, May 13, 2024 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? yes
- 1 of 2 listed replacements have a usable free tier: PostHog.
- What the call is worth $732/yr
- $61/mo at the entry paid tier — $732 a year per seat.

The backstory
Amplitude does behavioural analytics, experimentation and cohort analysis at scale. Its AI layer answers questions in plain English against the event store. There is no path where a general model replaces the pipeline that collects the events in the first place.
