Skate vs product analytics
Product analytics tools such as Amplitude, Mixpanel, PostHog and FullStory measure what users do, for your team.
| Feature | Skate | product analytics |
|---|---|---|
| Does the task in your app | Yes. Clicks, fills and navigates your UI as the signed-in user. | No. They are for your team, not the user. |
| Answers questions | Yes, from what is on the page. | For your team: AI that answers questions about your data. |
| Guides with tours | No tours. It does the task instead. | Some add guides (Amplitude, FullStory). |
| Checks the result | Yes. Reads the page before it says done. | They measure metrics, not each user’s task. |
| Install | One script tag. | An SDK or snippet. |
