NetSpring vs. Amplitude

Amplitude is a leading product analytics platform built for Product teams. On the other hand, NetSpring is a next-generation platform built for both Product and Data teams.

NetSpring avoids the data silos and inconsistencies of first-generation platforms like Amplitude. It is built on a warehouse-native architecture that aligns with a modern, composable data stack. This unlocks significant business benefits in terms of self-service access to all product and customer data, security & compliance, and cost.
