Wondering if Adobe Analytics is a good fit for your mobile app analytics needs and budget?
Developers and product teams are spoiled for choice when it comes to analytics tools. There are tons of highly effective options out there, including Adobe Analytics. But is Adobe Analytics really worth the price tag?
In this guide, we dive into the features of Adobe Analytics, its pricing structure, and alternative options for businesses of different sizes.
Overview: We offer a comprehensive overview of Abobe Analytics’ pricing structure to help you decide whether this tool is worth the cost.
Why trust us: We have tons of experience with analytics tools as a leader in the mobile app analytics space.
Why it matters: Choosing the right analytics tool can greatly impact your business success and ROI.
Action points: Adobe Analytics’ pricing structure is confusing and aimed at enterprises, but alternatives (like UXCam) offer more transparent and budget-friendly options.
Further research: Check out the UXCam blog for more in-depth comparisons of Adobe Analytics and other analytics tools.
Adobe Analytics is an advanced, highly capable tool that lets you analyze data on any digital touchpoint in your customer journey. That includes web, mobile, email… you name it. You can use it to track user behavior, understand customer journeys, and gain valuable insights into UX.
It also integrates nicely with other Adobe tools (like Adobe Target) to extend its functionality.
Real-Time Data: Collect data in real-time to make timely, reliable decisions about marketing and product design.
Advanced Segmentation: Get granular with customer data—segment by demographics, behavior, preferences, and more.
Custom Dashboards: Create personalized dashboards to track the metrics that matter most to your business.
Predictive Analytics: Leverage machine learning algorithms to predict future customer behavior and optimize marketing campaigns.
Attribution: Take the guesswork out of attribution by tracking and analyzing the impact of each touchpoint on a customer's journey.
Adobe Analytics offers fully bespoke pricing. You won’t be able to access pricing information unless you get in touch with sales. That said, there are a few different plans to choose from, including:
Select
Prime
Ultimate
Different plans might include more advanced features like predictive analytics, increased data storage, and access to Adobe's Customer Journey Analytics.
Here’s a breakdown of each plan:
Enterprise-grade marketing analytics
Drag-and-drop segment building
Data centralization
Quick Insights
Page summary
API for data collection
Voice assistant
Custom dimensions
Usage reporting
Digital intelligence for the enterprise
Real-time, cross-channel visibility

While we can’t get specific about how much Abode Analytics costs, we do know that it’s a common dislike in customer reviews.
Here are a few common themes from pricing reviews:
The overall value the product provides is high.
The price is pretty high compared to other analytics tools.
The cost of training adds a lot to your bill.
The overall cost is prohibitively expensive for most SMBs.
If Adobe Analytics seems a bit overpriced for your needs or budget, UXCam is a fantastic alternative.
Our all-in-one mobile app analytics suite is designed to offer deep insights into user journeys, product usage, and customer behavior without breaking the bank. And thanks to a wide selection of qualitative and quantitative tools, you get a holistic view of your app's UX (similar to Adobe Analytics).
Session Replay: Watch recreations of user sessions to find usability problems or areas for improvement.
Heatmaps: See where users tap, swipe, and interact on your app's screens. Heatmaps show activity hot spots, helping you spot popular areas or features.
Event Tracking: Track user actions in your app, like taps, scrolls, feature usage, purchases, and more (no coding required).
Crash Recordings: Zero in on sessions with issues to see how they’re impacting real users in the heat of the moment.
User Journey Mapping: See the paths users take in your app to figure out which lead to the best outcomes.
