It is really hard to notice but on this page: http://scoutapp.com/subscriptions there is note of a 30 day free plan if you look (or search) but you don't get the same kind of information as you do on the other plans.

    We also offer a 30-day free plan: 1 server, 3 plugins, and a 30 minute reporting interval.

Ummm...what is a 30-day free plan? Isn't that just a free trial?
I'm guessing it's actually a free plan, despite the "30 day trial" text. I'm guessing it's a humongous typo.

When you sign up for the priced plans the sign up form asks for credit card info and promises 30 days free. The "Free" link goes to this sign up form: https://scoutapp.com/accounts/new?subscription_id=2 which doesn't ask for any contact details, and clearly shows the price as $0.00.

Besides, I don't think the guys running Scout would refer to their service as freemium on their blog if they didn't have a free version. Their help link at the bottom of the website is also broken ( http://scoutapp.com/info/help ), which means the the website probably hasn't been tested/proofread very carefully (understandably -- there's so much to do).

@jd - Thanks for pointing out the support link. We've fixed the link on the site.
