Clerion vs. Amplitude
Amplitude studies users inside the product. Clerion reads the website for you.
Three things Amplitude does not do
A briefing instead of a workspace
The website, not the product
Nothing to design

Best for
Clerion Founders and small teams with no analyst, who want the interpretation done for them rather than another dashboard to read.
Amplitude Product teams who need retention, cohorts and experiments at scale, and have someone to own the event design.
Watch out for
Clerion It is built for site-wide traffic and growth questions. If you need programmatic event pipelines for a complex product funnel, a dedicated product-analytics tool fits better.
Amplitude Built for behaviour inside a product. Website questions, where visitors come from and which pages work, are not its centre, and the event design is the job.

Capabilities as each vendor describes them on its own site, October 2026. A capability we could not find is marked not built in.
The event design is the job
Amplitude's free plan is generous, two million events a month with session replay, so cost is not the problem. Time is. Every answer depends on events you designed, named and kept consistent across releases, and the website questions sit outside that design. The traffic a launch brought, the source that pays, the page that lost people this week: those are what Clerion writes up on its own.
When Amplitude is the right tool
If you have a product with enough users that retention, cohorts and experiments are the questions, Amplitude is built for exactly that, with session replay and guides on top. Clerion does none of those, on purpose. Run Amplitude for the product and Clerion for the website if you need both.
Switching from Amplitude
There is nothing to migrate. Paste one tag, name your win with one line, and the first briefing is written from your first week of visitors. Bring your Google Analytics history if you have it.
