API providing threat analysis of any given IP address

Look at the numbers again. 1,000,000 checks a month for $25? Even for an ad-supported site (using the checks for commenting) will get vastly more revenue and be able to afford it.

Remember, at $10 for $100, he has to convert 10x the number of accounts. People that are considering setting up their own DB usually don't fall into the category of "good SaaS customers".

True, but if i weren't a technically enabled client then I would want real fraud scrubbing, not this simplistic stuff based solely on someones IP address.

This is something you can add to your own heuristic, but not really use as-is.

Thanks for all the great feedback everybody. We are still looking at pricing. Obviously with all the signups today we will honor original pricing forever if we do decide to make any changes in the future.
