It costs a lot of money, as far as I can see (it says Try for Free and then takes you to a page where it asks you to pay $100 a month). Personally I don't think we need to stretch over backwards to always use an open source option for just communications tools. We don't refuse to use Facebook or Twitter. This is for communications, and whatever makes that easiest is my preferred option.
