Comment from the OP link that caught my eye:

"They’re offering free users 50% off their starter plan for the first 2 years. If you pay monthly, that’ll be $7.5/mo ($15/mo later). I can’t justify even $5/mo for this, personally…"

Too bad, so sad. Pingdom likely finally figured that most freeloaders won't ever convert and have no other positive impact on their top or bottom line. It was a great marketing idea at the time when it was OK to burn money to get non-paying "customers". Eyeballs, eh?

Never attempted to use them as I knew it wasn't sustainable.
