Is it just me or is Periscope allergic to showing the "Pricing" page? (SaaS anti-pattern) Or is it free?

The blog content is good though

I won't blow it by sharing the pricing they quoted me, but I thought it was pretty reasonable.

That said, I do have one major gripe with their sales process: Their free trial lasts 7 days. There is no way a company can evaluate a completely new BI system in a week. I begged and pleaded and they would not extend the trial.

I'm not just saying this, but I really really do think we would have bought it if we could have had 30 days. I just can't build enough organizational momentum to spend money on a new system in 7 days.

Sorry about that! Just sent you an email.
You can get a free trial, but it's most definitely not free (on the contrary, the price is a lot higher than i would've expected).
It's not extremely expensive, but it's clearly aimed at enterprise-level companies and not at small businesses.
