Billing and plans
Amplitude offers four plans: Enterprise, Growth, Plus, and Free, plus a temporary Startups plan that gives qualifying startups one year of Growth at no cost. The questions below cover Free plan details, Plus plan billing, Startups plan eligibility and billing, and renewal, quotas, and cancellation across plans. For plan pricing details, go to the Pricing page.
Free plan
The Free plan is Amplitude's no-cost tier available to any organization. It includes up to 10,000 monthly tracked users (MTUs) and core analytics features.
What's included in the Free plan?
The Free plan includes up to 10,000 monthly tracked users (MTUs) and access to core Amplitude analytics features, including journey analysis and out-of-the-box behavioral cohorts. Custom behavioral cohorts require the Plus plan or higher. Amplitude keeps your data for 1 year on the Free plan, 2 years on Plus, and 7 years on Growth and Enterprise.
What happens if I exceed the Free plan limit?
If you exceed your monthly MTU limit three times, Amplitude blocks your account. With a blocked account, you can't access charts and dashboards, but you can still use administrative functions such as the User API to meet compliance obligations. If you continue to exceed the limit without upgrading, Amplitude deletes your account six months after the initial block.
How do I upgrade from the Free plan?
Go to Settings > Organization Settings > Plans & Billing to upgrade to the Plus plan, or go to the Pricing page to compare Growth and Enterprise options.
Plus plan
The Plus plan is Amplitude's self-serve paid tier. Use the questions below to understand what's included, how billing works, and how to manage your subscription.
What's the difference between the Plus and Growth plans?
The Growth plan includes everything in Plus, plus:
- Unlimited custom behavioral cohorts (Plus includes 20)
- Cart Analytics
- Conversion drivers
- Forecasting and anomaly detection
- Deeper behavioral insights (Impact Analysis, Engagement Matrix, Personas, and more)
- All templates (Plus includes a limited set)
- SSO
- 7-year data retention (Plus includes 2 years)
- Onboarding and customer success
When does my subscription renew?
Your subscription renews automatically every 12 months on the annual plan, or the first of every month on the monthly plan.
What happens if I go over my quota?
The Plus plan uses pay-as-you-go pricing. If you exceed your included monthly tracked users (MTU) or event volume, Amplitude charges additional usage fees at the same per-unit rate as your plan price.
What is an MTU guardrail?
The MTU guardrail applies only to customers on the MTU-based version of the Plus or Startups plan. It doesn't apply if your plan uses event ingestion quota instead of MTUs.
To maintain quality service and protect against unexpected surges, Amplitude applies a guardrail of an average of up to 1,000 events per MTU.
For example, a customer who purchases 10,000 MTUs can ingest up to 10,000 × 1,000 = 10M events in aggregate per month. Most customers never hit this limit. If you exceed it, Amplitude converts each additional 1,000 events (or portion thereof) to one MTU and charges at the same per-unit rate as your plan price.
What's the cancellation policy?
You can cancel your subscription at any time before your next renewal period. You keep access to your Plus plan until the end of your current subscription period.
For more about MTUs and billing, refer to the MTU guide.
How do I turn off automatic renewal?
Go to Settings > Organization Settings > Plans & Billing > Manage Billing to cancel your subscription. The user who made the original purchase and all admins in the organization can access this option.
What terms apply to my purchase and use of the Plus plan?
Amplitude's Terms of Service, as amended and supplemented by the Plus Plan terms, apply.

Startups plan
The Startups plan gives qualifying startups one year of the Growth plan at no cost. To apply, visit the Startups page. For questions about your application or plan, email scholarship@amplitude.com.
What is the Startups plan?
Amplitude has four main plan types: Enterprise, Growth, Plus, and Free. The Startups plan is an additional, temporary plan for startup customers: one year of the Growth plan at no cost.
How do I apply?
Visit the Startups page and click Join now. Your exact path depends on your current Amplitude account status. Refer to How do I apply based on my current plan? below for the correct steps.
How do I apply based on my current plan?
Your path to the startup application depends on your current Amplitude account:
| Your situation | What to do |
|---|---|
| No Amplitude account | Go to amplitude.com/startups, click Join now, sign up for an account, and submit the application that appears automatically after account creation. |
| Free plan | Go to amplitude.com/startups, click Join now, sign in to your existing account, and submit the application that appears. |
| Monthly Plus plan | Cancel your Plus plan from Settings > Organization Settings > Plans & Billing, wait for the current billing period to end, then open Settings > Organization Settings > Plans & Billing and scroll down to find and submit the application once your account downgrades to Free. |
| Annual Plus or Growth plan | Email scholarship@amplitude.com. The team cancels your contract, refunds any remaining months, and helps you access the application. |
The startup application form is the same regardless of path. The only difference is how you reach it.
What if the startup application doesn't appear?
If the application modal doesn't pop up automatically after you sign up or sign in, go to Settings > Organization Settings > Plans & Billing and scroll down to find the application. You can access it there directly without contacting anyone.
What are the eligibility criteria?
To qualify, your company must meet both criteria:
- Less than $10 million in funding
- Fewer than 20 employees
What's included?
You get either 100 million events or 200,000 MTUs, more than enough to reach product-market fit. You also get full access to features on Amplitude's paid Growth plan, including unlimited custom behavioral cohorts and advanced collaboration features.
The Growth plan includes Portfolio, with up to two projects in each portfolio. To request the Accounts add-on, email scholarship@amplitude.com.
I haven't heard back about my application. When can I expect a response?
Email scholarship@amplitude.com if you haven't heard back about your application or approval.
Can I move the Startups plan from one organization to another?
Yes. Email scholarship@amplitude.com to request the move.
What happens if I go over the limit?
You can lower your MTU volume the following month, or start a 30-day Growth plan trial to decide whether to upgrade for more event volume. If you go over the event limit more than twice, Amplitude downgrades your account to the Free plan.
What happens after my one-year Startups plan ends?
You can either upgrade to the Growth plan or return to the Free plan, which includes up to 10,000 MTUs and core analytics features. Amplitude provides an extra 30 days to trial Growth while you decide. A sales rep typically reaches out around month 11. To learn more before then, contact global-sdr@amplitude.com.
Amplitude can't grant extensions past one year for the Startups plan.
What if I want to go back to the Free plan?
If you choose the Free plan, your account changes from the Startups plan to Free after the 30-day trial ends. Amplitude doesn't bill you if you don't upgrade. You don't need to contact Amplitude to downgrade.
Are onboarding resources included?
Yes. Amplitude provides self-serve onboarding materials when your Startups plan starts.
What if I have other questions?
Email scholarship@amplitude.com.
