Honestly I don't think they're putting themselves out of the reaches of a startup. It's more than possible to justify the cost if the service is going to be genuinely valuable. The problem is that the 30 day free trial probably isn't enough time to evaluate it, and the people who are being left out are the hobbyists who like to blog about all the cool things they've managed to do with stuff. An ecosystem of hobbyists is useful for me when evaluating products, it's a shame KISSMetrics is going to miss out on this. A free account for under 100k events and a noncommercial license would be far more useful than a 30 day trial.
