It's too bad EasyCatalog costs so much, but I expect that's they're targeting big name, high-budget publishers. I was very pleased to see the trial, and would love to buy if I could — it does what it says it does very well. That said, I'm still on the lookout for better, cheaper solutions for next time.
It's not crazy expensive compared to the value of the labor you're automating; but yes, it's steep for an individual if you're not yet producing revenue.
For something similar (and priced differently), we use software from http://emsoftware.com/ to import data into InDesign to automate some of the production of Kirkus Reviews' print magazine.
