This article is a good read on pricing: http://onstartups.com/tabid/3339/bid/37737/Secrets-Of-Freemi...
Per-device pricing means your users need to make a pricing decision every time they add another device, which they may hate and try to avoid.

I have been using Geckoboard for a few weeks now but, sadly, none of my ventures have enough traffic for me to see the value in paying for the service (at this point). I believe that it is an awesome product but I believe the price barrier is going to be a huge deterrent for average webpage owners. You might consider going freemium and perhaps allow only 1 site/account up to 1000 views/day (these numbers are only to get my point across). The hope is that you gain a larger user base, including many who would have to upgrade if/when their sites get traction.
One other thing is that if I was using for something serious, I may be worried by geckoboard having access to some of the more sensitive data. I think this could be a big deterent for some.
Overall, you have an absolutely kick-ass product, I suspect that if you dropped the prices a fair bit then even the most casual users would sign up, which should result in greater revenue for you.
