Startup Idea: Affordable Social Network Analysis Tool

Startup idea to develop a powerful, affordable one-time purchase tool for social network analysis. This tool will help in depth and longitudinal analysis of multiple social media services and will be beneficial for freelance analysts or consulting firms with small budgets.

I do social network analysis for small businesses, and because of limitations of APIs on some social media services, it is difficult to do depth and longitudinal analysis on multiple social media services at a reasonable cost for these businesses (or for me as a freelance analyst). There are some more expensive tools (like Textsifter), but often these have limits too and are on a subscription service. If there was a relatively cheap and powerful tool that people like me who run consulting firms could purchase at a one-time cost and then use with multiple clients, it would be very useful. When I say cheap, I mean in the $100-$250 US dollars range. I do a lot of analyses by scraping data and analyzing by hand using Excel.
