We have signed up, but not gotten any stats yet. For us the price was still significantly lower than paying someone to gather all that info.

One caveat... we had some confusion on dates. They're always gathering things from two months ago. For example, in June, they'll be gathering April's stats. So be specific about dates when you sign up - are you requesting the months based on when they gather, or based on what you want to receive?

O Collective Wisdom:

Is anyone out there using the ScholarlyStats service?  We're thinking
about signing up for it, but it's pretty pricey and they don't offer
trial access, so I'd like to hear from others who might already be using
it.

Any input appreciated.  Thanks.
