Which should you pick?

Amplitude offers the larger headline amount (1 year of the Growth plan free (100M events/month or 200K MTUs, $60,000 value); 40% off year two versus $50,000 in credits for 12 months). Amplitude accepts a wider range of funding stages, while PostHog is more targeted. If you qualify for both, there is usually no reason not to apply to both; the programs are independent.
