The pricing page playbook: lift trial-to-paid by 40%
Pricing pages are the highest-impact surface for SaaS. Here is the playbook we use to lift trial-to-paid by 40% in 90 days.
The pricing page is the highest-impact surface for SaaS. It is where intent meets commitment. Most pricing pages leak conversions. Here is the playbook we use to fix them.
The leak
Most pricing pages leak conversions because: - The plans are confusing. - The CTAs are weak. - The proof is missing. - The risk is high (annual contracts, credit card required).
The fix
- **Three plans, not five.** Three plans, with the middle plan visually highlighted as the recommended one.
- **Strong CTAs.** 'Start your free trial', not 'Sign up'.
- **Proof on the page.** Logos, customer quotes, key metrics.
- **Reduce risk.** No credit card for the trial. Cancel anytime. Clear pricing, no hidden fees.
