Homeopathy is a false analogy as it is outright dangerous, where cryonics is not.
I don't think it is 'preying' on the fear of death. A <.1% chance at eternal life is more or less what they offer and is a more reasonable investment than how many wealthy people spend their money. I could spend that money on a marginally nicer apartment for $100/mo and no one would bat an eye even though the expected value is almost certainly lower.
It seems appealing to me to come to terms with mortality while also being able to have some small hope that you will get lucky and have another chance at life.
