Yep! The features you see today on AddThis will always be free.

for those who need more from AddThis.
What blogging platforms do you support?
We currently support TypePad, Blogger, and Wordpress. More platforms will be
supported in the future.
Will my users need to create an account?
No. Once you add our button to your site or blog, your users can immediatly start
using it to bookmark and share your content. They do not need to create an account
with AddThis to do that.
Can I customize the button,
dropdown, or popup?
Absolutely. We understand that our button does not necessarily
fit the look and feel of all websites. So you are welcome to
provide your own image, or assign styles to your link. Additionally
you can customize the dropdown and popup by adding your company
name and logo. You can even change the list (and order) of
service options (e.g. Digg, Del.icio.us, Facebook,
etc). Please refer to the customization
documentation for more
information. By the way, 'Email a Friend' is also an option if
you want to provide it to your users.
Where should I place the button on my web pages...any
advice?
This is really up to you. But it's better to
place the button in a visible spot (e.g. the top portion of the page). The more
visible the button is the more people will bookmark and share your content;
which of course means more buzz, and more traffic back to your site.
Do you have a secure version of the widget (https)?
Yes. In the code of the widhet, just replace the this http://s7.addthis.com.... with
this:
https://secure.addthis.com/...
