Heh, maybe we should bug them to proceed a little bit... ;)

Their plan comparison is here (http://getsatisfaction.com/features), 
while the free plan already looks rather sensible to me.

 From looking at the sites, I, myself, have a slight preference for 
GetSatisfaction: I like the division into problems, ideas and questions, 
which could make a developer's life much easier.

But "you can't always get what you want", right? ;)
