I've noticed that marketing a free item as costing "$0.00" is somewhat of an emerging trend. I am all for mixing things up a little bit, but I think at this point it still makes a customer think "wait a second, are they going to charge me something?" The best way to go is still just plain ol' "free"

Perhaps a good opportunity to do some A-B testing. Although the more I think about it, the more I'm not sure it really matters that much since, after all, it is the free plan. There are probably better places to optimize.
The name of the free plan seems a bit odd to me, any reason why that was chosen over "Starter" or something? Also, you may want to highlight that this plan is indeed "Free" instead of "$0.00" - just a thought.
The plan selection seems a little bit disconnected with regards to where it is located and where the plans are listed. Maybe you could use a radio button or something on the plan list for selection.
I'll echo others on so much info for signup. At the very least show me how my twitter credentials will be used.
Overall though, I think it looks like a very promising tool. Something which I'll certainly consider in the future.
