Statsig vs. Amplitude Experimentation
Amplitude has begun upselling many customers on Experimentation, but some might prefer the power and support of an Experimentation-first platform.
Statsig's key advantages over Amplitude Experimentation are:
Most advanced experimentation, trusted by OpenAI & Notion
'Unscalable' customer obsession & support
Industry-standard feature flagging support
Integration of analytics with experiments and flags
Warehouse-native experimentation & analytics
Key Differences
Statsig and Amplitude both offer product building platforms with Experimentation, Feature Flags, Analytics and more.
01
Most advanced Experimentation, Trusted by OpenAI & Notion
Statsig's experimentation, based on best practices from Facebook, is trusted as the most advanced and battle-tested Experimentation Platform available. With functionality like CUPED, Meta Analysis, A/A Testing, Stratified Sampling and more, Statsig has all of the bells and whistles for those who need them. Additionally, the ability to define metrics on top of your own warehouse data opens up new possibilities for Experimentation.
02
'Unscalable' customer obsession & support
At Statsig, we view support as one of our core competencies. Rather than a regular support system with tickets and SLAs, support is the responsibility of the whole company, with a community Slack channel free for everyone, and dedicated Slack channels included for each Enterprise customer. Along with our dedicated customer-facing Enterprise Engineering team, our senior leaders regularly respond to customer inquiries. We also run a flexible sales process with full support for Proof-of-Concepts, and no artificial deadlines.
03
Industry-Standard Feature Flagging Support
Feature Flags are a first-class product on the Statsig Platform, rivaling the best available in the industry. We have full support for Feature Flag templates, automated rollouts, cohorts and more, plus the ability to treat any Flag like an A/B test with only one click.
04
Integration of Analytics with Experiments and Flags
Statsig Product Analytics are built to work with our Experiment and Feature Flag products, allowing you to use your flag/test 'Exposures' as analytical metrics, and breakdown other charts by flag and experiment exposure group. Plus, use our new Session Replay tooling to see exactly how each user is experiencing the product, with Flag and Test groups searchable in each session.
05
Warehouse-Native Experimentation & Analytics
Using Warehouse Native Statsig means that you can define the metrics that back your experiments, feature flags and product analytics (beta) directly on top of your warehouse data, with support for Snowflake, Bigquery, Redshift, Databricks, and Athena. You can also use Statsig's infrastructure to track events, metrics and exposures, and store them in your own warehouse.

At Notion, we're continuously learning what our users value and want every team to run experiments to learn more. It’s also critical to maintain speed as a habit. Statsig's experimentation platform enables both this speed and learning for us.
Notion

Data Science Manager
We evaluated Optimizely, LaunchDarkly, Split, and Eppo, but ultimately selected Statsig due to its comprehensive end-to-end integration. We wanted a complete solution rather than a partial one, including everything from the stats engine to data ingestion.

Don Browning
SVP, Data & Platform Engineering
We only had so many analysts. Statsig provided the necessary tools to remove the bottleneck. I know that we are able to impact our key business metrics in a positive way with Statsig. We are definitely heading in the right direction with Statsig.
