Is there pricing information available yet? I only see pricing for web app/mobile app.

it's all free!

What does that mean about pay service? Is that now free? Am I missing the distinction between what's on the linked page and the normal webapp monitoring service?

Boy am I glad I didn't sign an expensive contract with New Relic recently.

Why is that?

I don't see how expanding their service offering is a bad thing? Surely that expensive contract would have yielded more value than before, given that you use any of the supported applications. If not, you would not be worse of than before?

As far as I can tell it is an addition to the normal monitoring? I can download the plugins via their standard dashboard.

It looks like the main reason to pay is for data retention -- otherwise the free service only gives you 24 hours of data. IIRC that was also the distinction between the previous services New Relic offered, free for 24 hours, pay for more.
