Maybe you should do a free trial, to see how his tools work. His source is FOSS on GitHub, so you could run a relay and use his tools on top.
But he's a great administrator, so I like paying him to fight trollbots and spam attacks and stuff.

haha... he paid me to do work that got me through a very tight spot back in december before i picked up work with hubmakerlabs
i know his sop quite well... i helped build a little of his infrastructure so i'm good, i wouldn't be so keen to use his services otherwise... i can do it myself but it's less time for me to spend on it if i just pay my buddy to do it anyhow, and i think mostly it's automatic, just may need a few bits of support
