Free Amplitude Growth plan for a year: analytics, experiments, session replay, and CDP included.

Amplitude for Startups gives you 12 months of free access to their Growth plan—analytics, experimentation, session replay, and a CDP with up to 200K MTUs. You get premium support and can scale to ~100M events/month if you need it. Three entry paths: Startup Scholarship (under $10M raised, <20 employees), Tech for Black Founders Scholarship (under $30M, <150 employees, US-based), or Portfolio Company Discount if you're in a VC fund's portfolio. After year one, you can renew at a discounted rate. The main catch: you need to prove early-stage status and have minimal funding history. Best for product-driven startups that need experimentation and user behavior data from day one.
