My chief concern with Chargify's new pay structure is that their lowest tier is perhaps a bit too high for those just getting started (both in price and in the # of users it lets you have). At the same time, I don't see any compelling reason (in the absence of evidence) for them to have a totally free plan. I don't mistrust them for dropping the free plan; in fact, I now trust that they'll spend more time helping their paying customers. And finally, Chargify is just as freemium as anything else. In our freemium service, those who have "free" accounts do us a service by providing us with data. You could say it's not "free," since they have to input data, but to take that argument to its extreme, you could say that HN isn't free because you have to type in the URL.
