I've been a Segment user, and advocate, from the beginning. It was highly recommended in the book Marketing for Developers.

One thing I'd like to see is a better free tier for developers starting new projects. Currently, you're limited to 1000 visitors per month.

Even indie projects can quickly run up monthly costs of $100+.

As a comparison, Mixpanel's free tier gives devs 20 million data points per month.

thanks justin! would you be open to putting a badge on your site (similar to mixpanel's)?

we also have an incubator/accelerator discount for pre-series a, just email friends@segment.com and we can get you set up.

I'm not the GP but we would totally be open to putting a badge!

We got 3 months free from Founderskit (via Startup School). Is there a better discount than that? If yes, that would be helpful!

Thank you! Late comment but I'm starting a new business and was missing the old cheaper/startup plans. I would be fine with badging the site Mixpanel-style. Congrats on the success, your tools have saved me many many man-hours in past businesses.

This was my take when we investigated integrating Segment into our SaaS app too. We are purely boot strapped, and at the level where our monthly site visitor are building up at a great clip, and we would be occasionally pushing the free limits of Segment into real dollar that would eat up a chunk of our slowly growing revenue.
