Mint 2.0: Web stats package gets major upgrade
Now Mint 2.0 costs $30 per domain (upgrades from version 1 are $19), but after checking out the screencasts and live demo, you can color me sold. I've been bouncing between using monthly services like SiteMeter and even FeedBurner's new StandardStats for websites, and neither of them hold a candle to the style, extensibility, power and gorgeous design of Shaun's Mint.

Exactly. *Some* hosting companies will cancel your account, and while I've only heard about situations like that, I would be weary of giving any such company my hard earned cash.
Mint has been around for years and it's developed by a fairly well-known web designer and blogger. It also isn't the only web stats package out there, which means there's a market for them.
