I completely agree with hero_honda
The NRMP have sent emails about these services, twice I believe, and they were very explicit. I dont understand what is unclear about this. They have stated that they dont condone it and that PD's have expressed their concerns for it as well. It is a waste of money to do something you can do yourself - just apply through ERAS.
I honestly would just go with what the NRMP says, since they wouldn't have made it an issue, if they didn't see it necessary to warn people.

be careful Guys, latest news from ERAs.
It is very important to note that most U.S. residency programs
participating in ERAS do not accept documents outside of the ERAS
system. Therefore, unless a program gives you specific instructions to
submit documents via fax or e-mail, you should submit documents to
programs only via ERAS.
Effective for the 2011 Scramble, there will be a limit on the number
of applications you can submit on a given day. You will not be able to
carry over any unused applications to the next day. The limits for
submitting applications using ERAS for the 2011 Scramble are:
Tuesday, March 15, 2011 - you may submit a total of 30 applications
Wednesday, March 16, 2011 - you may submit a total of 10 applications
Thursday, March 17, 2011 - you may submit a total of 5 applications

ERAS told me this morning there will be no charge for the first 30 residency application + repplication to the 15 previous residencies would be free.
If we want to apply to new programs after applying to 30 residencies, each residency will cost us $8.

This is released today, feb 22, there is changes. Check it out.
http://www.ecfmg.org/eras/erasnews/iss10.pdf
What understand is that they limit the maximum number 45, no cost, but there is daily limitation.
Only 30 for march 15, 10 programs for march 16, 5 programs only for the last day.
So, that means we can't apply more than 45 programs total.
