You know what? 10 million is not cool, but 1 billion is. Nowadays many apps already can exceed this many API requests. If you go with an open source and self-hosted solution, then you can have a billion events per month for free, on a modest Linux server. Have a look at Piwik and Countly for mobile & web analytics that. Both companies have a lot more on-prem options for a fraction of price of analytics companies ask for, due to the fact that they build their pricing on number of servers and not API calls.

10M is cool and Amplitude is an amazing service. Pretty lame the way you're trying to hijack the thread.
Flurry has been doing that for ages, as well as Google Analytics. What's the point to announce it like it was never done before, and everybody is ready to "buy" it like Apple Watch? :)
When you're ready to give away 1 billion, feel free to create a HN post to announce it.
