I understand (but not necessarily agree with) the thinking of getting user growth first before monetizing them. But once you give it away for free, even if the customers get much value from it (as other commenters in this post say) I doubt that it will translate into a willingness to pay.

When you say , " I would love to see the service back", i assume you found value in the tool that is not matched by other similar tools. However, does this value translate to paying a subscription fee? Andrew
