When Google begins charging $150K/yr for something like this, you know there is room for someone in the market to disrupt Google.
Does anyone remember how much Urchin used to cost before Google acquired and made it free?
- cobrabyte 15y agoAccording to a comment left on the announcement page, $10,000.
- rachelbythebay 15y agoI think Urchin was under $100/mo at Rackspace, but I also think Rackspace had some sweetheart deal since they invested a ton of money at a critical juncture. We used to install it an awful lot, so it couldn't have been that expensive.
- rgrieselhuber 15y agoDisrupt which market? The enterprise market? The enterprise market is paying for this level of service and $150K a year is a drop in the bucket. They are already paying it for Omniture and they pay it for the support that comes with it. Providing a similar product of sufficient maturity with the same level of support (eg. human support) at a far lower price is not feasible, IMO. Plus, the free product is already there. It's pretty hard to disrupt something that's already free. To answer your other question, Urchin was around $500 / month for the hosted version and $5K for the installable version.
