I will post a little bit about what I know from my own go arounds the last few months with FICO and users.
Reason for launching this so quickly: because it was needed; I'm unabashedly a fan of FICO right now, mortgage and auto-enhanced scores have been absurdly difficult and confusing in the market for customers to obtain, and the "my score doesn't match myFICO" threads were coming up multiple times a day. I personally view anything which makes credit scoring less of a mystery to be a huge win for the American consumer.
TU scores not being available yet: yeah, a little irritating and unless you're applying for a car or mortgage in the near future might be better to wait; though I will say for a mortgage, I know my EQ and EX scores from the trifecta now (EQ apparently REALLY hates me) I can't do any better or worse than the two of those so not having TU 04 Classic, I'm ok for now. The reason codes are very interesting too, in my case having a consumer finance account on 04 and my installment loan balances (presumably a percentage with my two secured loans) now being a part of my scorecard... which may or may not explain the drop from losing my auto loan, is an interesting point though.
The additional scores don't track with the monitoring solution (like the simulator issue, static report data, but can't simulate say the FICO 8 Auto EX score): you get them on a pull of an individual report, or a pull of the 3B report, and then those scores are added into the main interface, right beneath the primary FICO 8 scores. It's fixed in time, we get it once a year for free with a new 3B report, and then additional ones are at 30% discount. Personally I'm not certain I'm likely to buy many additional ones, unless shopping for said mortgage or auto loan... or unless I'm swimming in cash and want to pinpoint a couple of lender underwriting scores.
Don't know how it works for those of us in on the lower price range, as the updates come from pulling a 1B or 3B report rather than the monitoring; not fully certain the costs involved other than a difference on the 3B initial pull.
Anyway what's what I know currently.

OP, I edited your original post for subject change and to set up as a new topic. Please use the "Edit" option if you would like to make any updates.
LOL! Thanks for heads up. This thread definitely got traction, though on a different course. 
These prices are right on for daily credit monitoring services so the outcry on the prices surprise me. Of course, I guess people will be a little unhappy with any price increase, but it's definitely warranted here. 24.95 is what Smart Credit and Credit Secure cost, I believe monthly. Those services don't have an annual price that is discounted like this one does. Just comparing apples to orangelos though because these are actually FICO scores that matter. lol

Of course people are always going to complain about price increases. Rarely do they pay attention to the value. With this major upgrade, I think the service warrants a price increase. I'm glad they did not increase the price for single reports, though not to say that they won't in the near future ...
I dont have an issue with the price increase bc the product changes seem to warrant it. Better product = higher price, understandable. Simply not interested in any of the extras and dont find them necessary at this time. Would have been nice to keep the original $19.95 3B product version available for those that might not need *additional scores* but its ok
