The short answer

Editorial assessment

June compared with Amplitude

This is the succession, not a live comparison. June's founding team joined Amplitude in 2025 and Amplitude published the migration path for June event data, so any team still running June was pointed here. The trade is real in both directions: Amplitude is far deeper analytically and has an accounts-level model of its own, but it is a bigger tool with a longer setup and a heavier commercial process than June's two-click reports. Teams that liked June for its speed should expect Amplitude to take longer to reach a first useful chart.

Choose Amplitude if

Product-led software companies who want analytics, session replay, feature flags, experiments, and in-app guides from one vendor on an event meter rather than per seat, and who expect to stay under 70 million events a month where the self-serve Plus plan applies and no sales call is required.

Choose June if

Historically: seed to Series A B2B SaaS teams that needed account-level usage analytics fast, without a data team or a tracking plan, and that already ran Segment. As of 2026 the honest answer is that it is not for anyone, because the product no longer exists; the profile is retained for teams evaluating its successors or planning a migration off it.

June began with a freemium model (free up to roughly 1,000 active users, Growth at $149 per month, custom pricing above that). In October 2024 it removed the free plan and moved to a single all-in-one plan, quote-only, tiered by monthly active users, with every feature included at every tier and a 14-day trial. The product wound down on 8 August 2025 and is no longer sold; no current price exists.

As of 2026 the honest answer is that it is not for anyone, because the product no longer exists; the profile is retained for teams evaluating its successors or planning a migration off it.
Setup time	A working chart in under an hour with autocapture or a CDP connection. A properly instrumented, governed implementation across web and mobile is a two to four week project, longer than Mixpanel because there is more platform to configure and because tracking plans are worth doing properly from the start.	Historically the fastest in the category: connecting an existing Segment, RudderStack, or Freshpaint source produced auto-generated reports within minutes, and a direct SDK install was an afternoon. Getting company-level reporting right took longer, since it required engineering to send group calls with the right traits.
Learning curve	Moderate. Chart building is approachable, but the platform rewards understanding behavioural cohorts, tracking plans, and how experiments read metrics, and none of that is obvious on day one. Expect a designated owner rather than assuming everyone will self-serve.	Low by design. The templated reports meant most users never had to learn a query builder, and the vocabulary (active companies, power users, slipping away) mapped onto questions teams already asked. June AI's SQL editor was the only surface that assumed technical skill.

Strengths and limitations

Amplitude

Strengths

The broadest self-serve platform in the category: analytics, session replay, feature flags, experiments, guides, surveys, and a CDP layer under one event meter.
A permanent free plan of 2 million events a month including 10,000 session replays, and a self-serve Plus tier that stretches to 70 million events before any sales involvement.
Behavioural cohorts are a first-class shared object rather than a per-report filter, so one definition drives charts, experiments, guides, and outbound audiences.
Feature flags are included from the Plus tier rather than gated behind enterprise, which is unusually generous packaging.

Limitations

Above 70 million events a month, pricing goes dark. Growth and Enterprise are quoted, and add-ons priced as a percentage of the platform plan make the cost curve steeper than it looks.
Behavioural cohorts are excluded from the free plan and capped at 20 on Plus, which is a meaningful limit given that cohorts are the mechanism everything else depends on.
The platform is large and there is more configuration surface than a small team needs; the tool is genuinely harder to learn than Mixpanel for a non-technical user.
Hosted only. There is no open source edition and no self-hosted deployment, so teams with a hard requirement to keep behavioural data inside their own infrastructure are out.

June

Strengths

The company-level data model was genuinely differentiated: B2B retention, expansion, and churn questions answered at the account level by default rather than by workaround.
Time to first insight was measured in minutes because reports were auto-generated from templates on connection rather than built from an empty canvas.
It fitted the existing stack instead of replacing it, reading from Segment, RudderStack, or Freshpaint rather than demanding fresh instrumentation.
Slack alerts and CRM write-back put usage signals in front of sales and customer success, who are the people who act on them.

Limitations

The product no longer exists. June wound down on 8 August 2025, signups are closed, and the website now serves an acquisition notice; the YC profile lists the company as inactive.
Data was not retained indefinitely after the wind-down: customers had a thirty-day export window, so a team that missed it has no route back to its historical event data.
Company-level reporting depended on correctly implemented group calls. Where engineering had not sent group traits, June fell back to inferring accounts from email domain, which broke for customers using consumer email addresses or multiple domains.
No session replay, no feature flags, no experimentation, and no in-app guides, so June was always one tool among several rather than a platform.

Amplitude's value depends almost entirely on whether you use the platform or only the charts. At 10,000 monthly users generating perhaps 300,000 events, the free plan covers you with replays included, which makes Amplitude one of the cheapest ways to run real product analytics at small scale. At 100,000 monthly users on disciplined instrumentation, roughly 3 million events, you are on Plus and paying tens of dollars a month rather than hundreds, which is aggressive pricing for what you get. If you also retire a feature-flag subscription, an onboarding tool, and a survey widget, the effective value is very strong. If you use Amplitude purely as a charting tool, you are paying platform complexity for chart value, and Mixpanel or PostHog will feel lighter. The risk sits above 70 million events, where published pricing disappears and you are negotiating with a public company that has enterprise revenue targets.

June

Historic. June began with a freemium model (free up to roughly 1,000 active users, Growth at $149 per month, custom pricing above that). In October 2024 it removed the free plan and moved to a single all-in-one plan, quote-only, tiered by monthly active users, with every feature included at every tier and a 14-day trial. The product wound down on 8 August 2025 and is no longer sold; no current price exists.

For its first four years June was one of the best value purchases in product analytics for small B2B SaaS: $149 a month bought account-level retention and adoption reporting that would otherwise have meant an Amplitude or Mixpanel contract plus a data person to configure it. That value evaporated in two steps. The October 2024 move to quote-only pricing aimed at companies above $1M ARR removed the segment the tool was best for, and the August 2025 wind-down removed the product. Any team currently budgeting for June should redirect the line item; the vendor-recommended destination is Amplitude, and the closest self-serve substitutes for the company-level model are Mixpanel with group analytics enabled or PostHog with a group type configured.

Editorial verdict on each

Amplitude

Category Leader

Amplitude is the most platform you can buy in this category without a sales call, and for a product-led company that would otherwise be paying for analytics, feature flags, an onboarding tool, and a survey widget separately, that consolidation is the whole argument. The free tier is real, Plus stretches to 70 million events self-serve, and feature flags being included at that level is genuinely generous packaging. Buy it if you will use the platform, not just the charts, and if you have someone willing to own tracking plans and cohort definitions. Look elsewhere if you want the lightest possible tool (Mixpanel), if you want to self-host (PostHog or Matomo), or if you can foresee crossing 70 million events, because that is where published pricing ends and enterprise negotiation begins.

June

June was a good product with a real idea: in B2B SaaS the account is the unit that renews, so the account should be the unit the analytics tool reasons about, and reports should exist before anyone asks for them. For four years that combination made it the most sensible product analytics purchase a small B2B software company could make, and its support and speed-to-insight earned it a review record most vendors would envy. None of that is buyable now. The company removed its free plan in October 2024 to chase customers above $1M ARR, then wound the product down entirely on 8 August 2025 when the founding team joined Amplitude, leaving customers a thirty-day export window. This profile exists as a record and a migration aid rather than a recommendation: if you are here because a spreadsheet still lists June as a vendor, the line item should be closed and the tracking code removed, and the realistic replacements are Amplitude if you want the documented path, or PostHog and Mixpanel if you want June's old price point and are willing to configure account-level analysis yourself.
