This announcement actually is pushing me away from Metricfire. The project I am working on now will generate less than 100 data points per day, so paying $30 a month is really high.
For someone who will take advantage of it, the $30 looks like a great plan, but when they say it is for small projects, that just seems like too much for the very small projects like mine.
We're willing to discuss super-small projects and we welcome feedback on our pricing, particularly critical and particularly at the low end. Get in touch, let's talk about it!
Let us know if you need anything!
Google Analytics does a very good job of measuring events and not using tons of resources, but then again it is hard to get real time dashboards with > 1M events/day in GA
Edit - I had already asked this, but also Google App Engine support? Cheer and keep making an awesome product guys!
We're going to put some energy into GAE support over the next few days. Thanks for your comments, we appreciate the interest!
(Our backend systems scoff at >1M events/day - we already handle ~60M/day and we've only just launched...)
