For comparison, many report paying over $100K a year for Adobe’s Omniture SiteCatalyst offering. I can’t remember what we used to pay for Webtrends Enterprise at my old job but it was in the same ballpark.

So, let me understand. The price is on par with industry standard pricing. So why is the title in caps with an exclamation point? Just go all the way with the title.

OMG GOOGLE ANALYTICS PREMIUM PRICING: ON PAR WITH INDUSTRY STANDARDS!!!!!

The Omniture pricing is where you start. Then they charge additional to raise your server call limit, additional for data correlation, additional for data warehousing. Omniture has a great product, but to think that an enterprise gets away with $100k is laughable. I've had clients in 7 figures easy.

If you're a startup, the only bonus you're really getting with premium Google Analytics is SLA, which most startups can do without. Stick with free.

How much would it cost to pay someone to write you an analytics suite? A lot more than $150,000/yr.

It's a lot of money for you, but it's not a lot of money for people that actually need something like this. (I use "grep" as my web analytics tool, because that's all I can need and all I am willing to spend.)

for an enterprise application, that seems just about right in line.

I don't understand why there is an exclamation in point in the article title and he has the price in bold red letters, yet at the end of the article he goes on to say that it's priced just a bit more than two other competing products. I say a bit, because if you are in the market for $100k analytics suites, what's another $50k?
