I would love to hear your thoughts on pricing, the homepage/demo, and the product in general!

I've linked to the blog post describing the launch. The homepage of the product is http://chatteranalytics.com (obviously)

Thanks!

Might just be me, but the red links on the blog gave me a bit of a headache. Any possiblity you could change those to a more matte red color? I think matching the color of your logo would be a lot easier on the eyes.

As far as the homepage itself, I loved the simple layout. I can't comment on the demo section as I'm stuck with IE8 at work.

Probably not just you.

I changed it, hopefully now it's less headache inducing. :)

Looks great!

Without a free tier, I'm out. I want to make the purchase decision on my timeline, not yours. I've operated several freemium services so I know how cheap, easy and important it is.

That's good feedback. My thoughts were mainly along 3 lines:

1) With the demo on the homepage, you immediately get a good idea of the usefulness of the tool.

2) I'm not really interested in a freemium model where I support a large base of non-paying users.

3) I'm trying to see if this is worth working on, and the number of people who are willing to pay is a good indicator of that.

I'm interested in your thoughts on the benefits/downsides of this approach.
