This wont bother us as we disable all BL's/whitelist/reputation style 
services in SA (we'd hit 10K in an hour anyway) and have postfix alone 
make these decisions by a select few RBL's, most of which we have local 
databases for.

10K queries a month sounds a lot, but is only 13 requests an hour. I 
certainly hope nobody has you in their MTA.

But using SA, a small office or home business would get away with this, 
especially if they use standard RBL's where they should be used - 
upfront in postfix, sendmail, etc, blocking the crap, so SA wont be 
doing probe lookups slurping up your query limits faster than a kid 
flying down a water slide in middle of summer, it'll be doing requests 
for actual messages.

I think that's really what small free tiers are targeted towards, not 
for those reselling services, so I think 10K is enough for a home 
business or small office, and if it's not, they need to configure their 
network correctly so SA only processes only what the MTA passes.
