Amplitude Alternative
The Amplitude Alternative That Skips the Event Taxonomy
Amplitude is great for product analytics. Beseam is built for PDP conversion ops—audit pages, track marked UI zones, get weekly AI recommendations, deploy versioned upgrades safely, monitor KPIs, and rollback instantly on regressions (without building a full event taxonomy).
When Amplitude Isn’t the Right Fit
Amplitude excels at in-app product analytics. For website and PDP conversion optimization, teams often want faster time-to-action and a safer ship loop than event dashboards provide.
Event instrumentation and governance take ongoing effort
Funnels show drop-off, but not what to change on the page
Costs can scale with event volume and seats
Stakeholders want faster answers with less setup
