That price seems very high. I have worked NetCount before and all you have
to do it install the software on the server and then from what I recall
you dont even have to play with the config files.

NetCount and I/PRO are fighting it out in the stats areana. The overhead
is low for "brand" name stat reports. NetCount is $100-$200 a month
depending on what package you pick and the first 3 months are free.

There is nothing wrong with reports from other programs. However, if I am
presented stat reports from different sites that in all other areas are
equal, ie, my target, pages views, etc. I would go with the company that
used the third party service. It just has more arms length to it that the
other programs dont have.

Hope it helps.
