Ask HN: SaaS pricing pages with high prices and not “contact sales”

#1

Are there examples of SaaS services and pricing pages that simply show their high prices up front? I'm talking about $500+/month minimum and isn't a "pay for as much as you use" pricing chart such as AWS or GCP.

The only one that comes to mind for me is HubSpot [0]. But I'm sure there are many more.

Casetext's Compose is, IIRC, $400 per head. Niche space though.

We recently found that the new artillery.io service is going to be something like $600 or $1200 a month.

It's not exactly front and center, and I think it's not fully released yet, but they do have the price in the FAQ which I respect.

Mine goes up to $6k/mo: https://keygen.sh/pricing/. I started using transparent pricing a couple years ago because I was tired of answering the same questions over and over again for enterprise leads.

Just fyi, I’m missing the previous dynamic logo

I’m fine if you have a “contact us” for a true enterprise plan, but companies that have actual pricing plans should post them. I way prefer to buy from SaaS companies that display their pricing up front rather than trying to get me on the phone to talk with an account executive.

I’m not scared to pay serious money for a service, but putting your service behind a sales person is more than likely going to cost you my business.

That might be what you prefer; but just not how the world works. For large fees just a much higher likelihood of sales after a personal connection has been made
