This seems really interesting and I really like that the data would stay inside my firewall. Any comparisons to New Relic? Looks like ease of installation would be similar (except for setting up Mongo), but that it doesn't collect quite the same amount of data (yet).

I commend you for making something that isn't SaaS -- it seems to be rare to have one-off payments now, so this makes it more attractive.

Also, it seems that your demo (http://live.amon.cx:2464/) is down, which is a pity as I'd obviously like to try it before installing.

EDIT: And local monitoring is a big plus, too.

I couldn't find some comparison chart or anything that would tell me what extra features the pro version has.

The normal version can monitor only the server it's installed on. The Plus version has alerts and you can use it to monitor as many servers and apps as you like - there are no internal restrictions besides the memory of the VPS it's installed on. So if you want to monitor 10-15 servers - you will manage with a 128-256MB VPS, if you have more than that, all you have to do is to upgrade it to 512MB RAM or more.
