FAQ

Before You Download

Is this about tricking people into paying more?
No, it's about clarity. These are simple psychological cues, charm pricing, value-based plan names, the anchor plan, that help members say yes because your pricing feels clearer, not because they were misled.
Do I need to redesign my whole pricing page?
No. Most of what's in here is small changes, plan names, which plan you highlight, how you order features, that you can test without a redesign.
