Do I need a data team for Amplitude?

Most teams that get real value from Amplitude have dedicated analysts or data engineers. Databuddy's AI agent (Databunny) replaces that need — ask questions in plain English, get instant answers.

Is Amplitude overkill for startups?

Often, yes. Amplitude's strength is enterprise-grade behavioral analytics with deep segmentation. If you're a small team that just wants to understand users without a month of instrumentation work, Databuddy is the lighter choice.

How does pricing compare at scale?
