Earlier quoted context omitted.

A lot of this comes down to A/B testing. Once people have found a solution that converts some number of customers, it's hard to take risks. There are alternative designs, but it's safest to just go with what is known. In some cases, the familiarity is helpful for users, but there is no denying that it can be boring. These are the unfortunate constraints that many talented people have to work in.

Given how badly I’ve seen a/b tests being conducted at multiple companies, I’m not sure I’d assume anything from competitors works particularly well.

Would concur 100% on "blind leading the blind" here.

I don't know if they were the first but I think of 37signals and Basecamp as the ones that first nailed the multi-column/highlighted plan form of design that has become so dominant. Here's 2009: https://web.archive.org/web/20090307125843/http://www.baseca... if you go back to 2007 you can see the same structure in a plainer presentation; it's easy to see how they went from one to the other: https://web.archive.org/we…

… and neither Hey nor Basecamp (both from 37Signals) use that layout style anymore.

One of my biggest peeves in pricing pages is the "feature diff". There are so many redundant features listed between tiers - or products - that many would be better off not showing features that are largely the same.

Then how would you see and compare everything you're getting in a given package?

The SaaS internet is so boring! These are like carbon copies of each other.

I had one of those for S3stat for a while. It lost decisively in A/B tests to the ugly wall of text that it replaced, so that’s what’s up there today: https://www.s3stat.com/Pricing.aspx I’m still waiting for the next generation of trendy SaaS companies to crib it.

I love your page. Being an authentic human and actually having some personality seem to be like secret weapons these days.

I didn't dig through the infinite scroll (ironic on a page about designs) but I'm surprised more than half of them weren't dedicated to obfuscating the prices, as has been the vast majority of my experience with trying to figure out how much money I need to give anyone call us let's talk! or my other pet peeve https://lucidic.ai/#:~:text=Get%20started%20for%20free aka don't worry about it until you like it!

They do have "contact sales" as a filter option which is nice if you're looking for examples of that. It only has one (not that great IMO) example though.

Isn't that a good thing? Let's you compare easily.

It seems like you see either 3-4 columns, or a link to arrange a conference call with a salesperson (e.g. a “don’t-bother-button”)

I love pricing pages, I avoid landing pages or whatever they want to me read and go directly to pricing page to get the meat of what they offer... then I look at price.

Totally. It tells me who the target audience is and if there's actually a free tier. It tells me if the paid plan is 5$ per month, per user or fixed, or 500$ per month. It's kinda shocking how many times I have no idea which one it will be until I find the pricing page.

It's probably too much work, but it would be nice to see a short comment on the "curated" examples to better understand the reasoning behind the assessment. Why was it included ? What was particularly good about it? That might help people choose the right ones for their use case.

I’m the same way — I skip straight to pricing too. Curious though: when you get there, do you prefer seeing a few fixed tiers (like the classic “3 bucket” layout), or would you rather have a usage-based formula where you can adjust a slider or input your exact needs and see the price change in real time?
