Amplitude is the enterprise standard for cohort-heavy product analytics. Sankofa Analytics shares the same primitives — events, properties, cohorts, retention — but bundles session replay, feature flags, and automatic rollback in one open-core platform you can self-host.
Comparison based on each vendor's public pricing pages and documentation. We do not fabricate competitor limitations — if something is wrong, write to [email protected] and we will fix it.
Sankofa supports behavioral cohorts (users who did X within window W), property cohorts, and persistent lookups — the same building blocks Amplitude exposes. The query layer is SQL-on-ClickHouse, so anything you can express in a cohort, you can also express directly in a notebook query.
Yes. ClickHouse is the same column store that powers analytics at the largest internet companies. Sankofa's reference deployment runs on a small cluster and scales horizontally; self-hosting teams routinely run 10B+ events per month on commodity hardware.
Yes. Unlike Amplitude Enterprise self-host (which is a separate edition gated by sales), Sankofa runs the same binary on your infrastructure — Kubernetes, bare metal, or air-gapped. Same dashboard, same SDKs, same wire contract.
For teams already paying for Amplitude + replay + flags, yes — Sankofa bundles the equivalent feature set per-product, with annual billing −20% and bundle discounts that reach −48% when you adopt multiple products.
Same SDK contract on every platform. Self-host or use Sankofa Cloud — your call.
