Hi there,

 

I'm seeing Amplitude report up to 8x more traffic than Plausible.

 

Using @amplitude/analytics-browser 2.9.3 on NextJS. Amplitude is init on a useEffect in pages/_app.tsx

 

I'm filtering events on Amplitude by Page Location === exact URL of my home page. Same on Plausible.

 

We have both Plausible and Amplitude JS scripts / api endpoint behind our own proxy, bypassing adblockers. 

We have enabled the "Block bot traffic" filter on Amplitude several weeks ago.

 

One weird pattern I noticed is Amplitude showing us some IPs consistenly creating 20+ unique users. Doesn't seem to be big enough to justify all the extra traffic reported though.

 

I trust Plausible numbers to be more accurate here, and that's very unfortunate since I want to measure my funnel using Amplitude. My trial conversion rate will go below 1% with these inflated numbers.

 

Any ideas what could be going on? Could it be that Amplitude's bot filtering is just bad?

 

Thanks
