I think your analysis is spot-on, EventHQ is well-priced for the feature set available but as a result can be too expensive for some users, particularly those offering small(ish) free events or those who are happy with reasonably minimal functionality. You could also check out EventWax which I believe is free at the moment. They do talk about a new version coming with a powerful API but that has been coming for ages, so am not sure on a due date. Feel free to get in touch though as I am open to ideas/discussions, whether about getting EventHQ working with other services or just informal chat on brand building and/or selling a web app/SAAS in the UK at the moment!

Definitely have plans to implement a 'proper' API. Its slow though for the usual reasons (features prioritised based on customer demand, only 24 hours in a day). Currently I'm refactoring the system to be more RESTful as part of a major overhaul of the app (due live in the next 3 to 4 months) and I will then start opening up the API a little more. Again, feel free to get in touch via other channels (email, Skype, whatever) as I'm always happy to chat through these sorts of things.
