Premiumly Absurd

Yes, I made up a new word just for this. Web geeks buzzed with excitement after Google announced real-time data along with a premium offer in its Google Analytics product. How much for a premium account you ask? A whooping $150,000 per annum.

It’s all stated in a “confidential” email posted @Uncrunched, here’s the full transcript:


Thanks for your interest in Premium. The program has a flat annual fee of $150,000 which we invoice monthly ($12,500 per month).

The Premium features (including faster data, unsampled reporting, more custom variables) can be enabled on your existing GA account within 2 business days of you joining the program – no retagging necessary. 

Please let me know if you’d like to set up some time to discuss further. 

Thanks again 

Google Analytics Premium is here!

From the looks of the email, the price is still negotiable but without that, I think it's way too pricey.
