Hi Calvin!
This looks awesome and makes me want to use Segment all the more, but I can't because your pricing is insane if you want to track anonymous visitors to a site that gets even moderate traffic. 100k visitors per month (which is hardly crazy) costs me nothing on Google Analytics, nothing on Mixpanel, but ~$1,000 per month on Segment? I'd be happy to pay, but you guys are charging $10 CPM on anonymous visitors who are worth far less than that. Which means my options are either to only push customers to Segment (and thus lose the ability to tell where they came from, which is super valuable info), or just integrate directly with GA, Mixpanel, etc.
I'm hardly alone either: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19221872 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19221872
Is this just completely not the market you're going after? Is there some way to use Segment that I'm missing? Or is your target market just fine with paying $10 for every 1000 anonymous visitors they get per month?
