+ Technically a live demo with a static dataset would be doable. [adds to Trello]
+ We think that $49 is reasonable given how powerful and flexible the service is. We can extend your trial if you are not convinced :)
+ Although in general I like freemium, I would feel slightly uneasy about sending my private data to a service that doesn't cost anything. Most free(mium) analytics services use the customer data for ad retargeting etc.

Why aren't you a fan of trial periods? I much rather give it a shot before I commit to paying some money. In fact, I pass on many that don't have trials.
It's easy to talk the talk on a marketing website, a free trial shows the truth.
If they had a live demo, why would a trial be necessary? I think either a free plan or a really awesome demo provides the information and experience needed for users to make a purchasing decision.
I dislike trials because they require a credit card to even experience the product. Also, I hate having to remember to cancel before the trial period ends. The product should be compelling and exciting, and provide enough details and information that I am willing to pull out a credit card and commit.
I too would pick it up sooner if there was an (almost) free plan with some strict limits. That way i could use it in say a hobby project or something that's still in beta and figure out if it works for me before running up hefty costs right away. This is a product phase where usually stuff like hosting is free still (Heroku and such have free tiers) and $49/month is suddenly a lot in comparison.

Looks great. Some feedback:
+ Setup a live demo (allow users to fiddle with a demo and visualize the possibilities).
+ The entry plan of $49 seems a bit steep. Would a $29 plan be financially possible?
+ Personally, I am not a fan of trial periods. Either I find value in a product and am excited or not.
Great work though guys. Where in San Francisco are you located at?
Thanks for the feedback!

I don't believe the trial here requires a credit card until the trial is over (to continue using the service).

Maybe they could have a free sandbox tier with placeholder data?
