Yes — for tutorial and onboarding drop-off on iOS and Android, I’d recommend looking at Amplitude first, with Firebase/GA4 as a lightweight alternative.

Best overall: Amplitude

Why it fits game onboarding analysis well:

  • Strong event funnel analysis for tutorial steps
  • Easy to track drop-off between steps
  • Good segmentation by device, OS, country, acquisition source, etc.
  • Useful retention/cohort analysis to see if tutorial completion correlates with longer-term engagement
  • Works well for both mobile apps and games

Typical onboarding events you’d track:

  • tutorial_started
  • tutorial_step_1_complete
  • tutorial_step_2_complete
  • tutorial_completed
  • account_created
  • first_match_started
  • first_purchase

This makes it straightforward to see where players quit.

Good lower-cost / simpler option: Firebase Analytics (GA4)

Why choose it:

  • Free to start
  • Easy integration on iOS/Android
  • Solid for basic funnels and conversion tracking
  • Good if you already use Firebase for Crashlytics, Remote Config, or Push

Tradeoffs:

  • Less intuitive for deep behavioral analysis than Amplitude
  • More limited for advanced segmentation and product analytics workflows

Strong game-focused alternatives

If you want something more game-native, consider:

GameAnalytics

  • Designed specifically for games
  • Good for progression, retention, and economy metrics
  • Useful if you also care about level progression and player lifecycle
  • Funnel-style onboarding analysis is possible, though not as flexible as Amplitude

Adjust or AppsFlyer + analytics tool

  • Better for attribution and UA measurement
  • Usually paired with a product analytics tool rather than used alone for tutorial drop-off

My recommendation by scenario

  • Best for detailed tutorial drop-off analysis: Amplitude
  • Best free starter option: Firebase Analytics
  • Best game-specific package: GameAnalytics
  • Best if you mainly want ad attribution: AppsFlyer or Adjust, plus Amplitude/Firebase for in-app behavior

Practical recommendation

If your main goal is “where do players abandon the tutorial?”, I’d choose:

  1. Amplitude for analysis
  2. Firebase/Crashlytics alongside it for mobile health/debugging

If you want, I can also give you:

  • a comparison table of Amplitude vs Firebase vs GameAnalytics,
  • a recommended event schema for onboarding, or
  • a sample funnel setup for iOS/Android.
