This is exactly where I am with https://landscape.io - can't keep it running for free, can't get people to pay.

Is that a typo? It looks like it should be "landscape.io", and in the way it's currently written, it gives me a 404

I don't know anything about your market, but your plans seem awfully expensive and they're differentiated weirdly. I wouldn't choose to pay for a tool that would limit how much trend data I get based on how much I paid.
