My experience is very similar to Fred’s, and I agree with what he said. We too sat in an iRise demo, and the quote we got was 50k to half a mil!!
For my money (well, not really mine..) Axure delivers so much more bang for the buck. Not that iRise is not impressive – and yes, I’d love the DB connectivity + logic and all, but I think Axure nailed the famous 80% of the use cases for 80% of the users, and for the right price. It is, however, primarily for web apps, and when I had to mock up a rich client recently I had to return to Visio ;-(
you can simulate some AJAX with it, too.

The best thing about Axure:
very easy to learn and use, I was productive since day 1
the worst thing:
it produces really big HTML files, so try to keep them short
