Segment vs Rudderstack: What are the differences?
What is Segment? A single hub to collect, translate and send your data with the flip of a switch. Segment is a single hub for customer data. Collect your data in one place, then send it to more than 100 third-party tools, internal systems, or Amazon Redshift with the flip of a switch.
What is Rudderstack? An open source alternative to segment. It is a platform for collecting, storing and routing customer event data to dozens of tools. It is open-source, can run in your cloud environment (AWS, GCP, Azure or even your data-centre) and provides a powerful transformation framework to process your event data on the fly.
