Amplitude is a product analytics platform — event tracking, funnels, and experimentation for in-app behaviour. PageGuard monitors your website’s public-facing health — WCAG accessibility, Core Web Vitals, SEO, and ADA compliance — with zero SDK required.
ADA Title II Deadline: April 24, 2026
State and local government websites must meet WCAG 2.1 AA. Amplitude tracks in-app user events but provides no accessibility auditing or ADA compliance monitoring. PageGuard monitors accessibility continuously — alerting you before violations occur.

They solve different problems. Amplitude tracks in-app events and product analytics — funnels, cohorts, retention, A/B testing. PageGuard monitors your public-facing website health — WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility scoring, Core Web Vitals, technical SEO, and ADA compliance alerts. Many teams use both: Amplitude for product analytics and user behaviour, PageGuard for ensuring the site is accessible and healthy for all visitors.
No — Amplitude does not provide WCAG 2.1 AA compliance scoring or ADA accessibility monitoring. It is a product analytics platform focused on tracking in-app user behaviour, not the technical health of public web pages. With the ADA Title II deadline on April 24, 2026, PageGuard provides the accessibility monitoring that Amplitude cannot.
PageGuard is free for on-demand website health audits — no SDK, no account, zero setup. While Amplitude has a free tier for event analytics, it does not monitor website health, accessibility, or SEO. PageGuard lets you scan any public URL and receive a scored report covering Performance, Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA), SEO, and Best Practices in ~30 seconds. Automated monitoring with email alerts starts at $9/month.
Yes — they are complementary tools for different insight layers. Use Amplitude to understand how users engage with your product (event tracking, funnels, retention, A/B tests) and PageGuard to ensure your public-facing pages are technically healthy and accessible (WCAG audit, SEO audit, Core Web Vitals, ADA compliance monitoring). Together they give complete coverage: Amplitude for “how are users engaging with product features”, PageGuard for “is the site healthy and accessible to all users”.
