I pinged the guys over at RedisToGo to get you some more clarity on the pricing.

Speaking for ourselves, we've historically preferred to have someone else manage our infrastructure. Setting up Redis is fairly trivial, I agree. However, setting up a secure machine out on the internet and making sure it's always there is less trivial. Rather than juggle an ops/engineer role, we just double down on engineering. I'm sure at some point this may need to change. Hopefully, when that day comes we can afford a sysadmin!
