nsight vs Amplitude

What is Amplitude?

Amplitude is a leading product and behavioural analytics platform. By installing an SDK in your app, it tracks in-app events, funnels, retention, and cohorts, helping teams understand exactly how users move through a product and where they drop off.

It’s a quantitative tool built for measuring behaviour at scale. It is not designed to read or analyze app store reviews, so it tells you what is happening in your product, but not the reasons users give for it in their own words.

Alternatives to Amplitude

If you have Amplitude for the numbers but still don’t know why users churn or complain, nsight is the complementary alternative for the qualitative side. nsight analyzes the public reviews behind the behaviour, surfacing sentiment scores, category breakdowns, personas, and the specific issues users call out.

There’s no SDK to install and nothing to instrument: nsight works from public App Store and Google Play reviews on day one. Many teams run both, Amplitude to measure behaviour, nsight to explain it, and it’s free to start.
