Switching Cost
Amplitude's lock-in is the behavioral graph. Raw events can be exported, but the user journey mappings, computed behavioral cohorts, and cross-platform identity resolution don't come with them. The deeper issue is Amplitude Experiment: if you're running feature flags and A/B tests through Amplitude, switching means migrating both analytics and experimentation. Small teams can move in 2-3 days. Teams with active experiments and CDP syncs should budget 2-3 weeks. The hidden cost is rebuilding your taxonomy governance from scratch.

Building Blocks
Amplitude is a platform. It bundles multiple capabilities into one subscription. These tools each cover one piece. Teams often assemble 2–3 of them instead of paying for the full suite.
