Pricing Page Breakdown

  • Very nice Good, Better, Best layout
  • The monthly / annual toggle and the Work tab at the top are pretty subtle and don’t detract too much
  • The primary monetization levers are variable (storage, devices and family members)
  • Visually showing that each package has more features with the blue checkmarks and the blue “Buy now” CTAs in the Plus and Family plans naturally draws the eye to the Better and Best plans
  • I really like how each plan is focused on a different customer segment so that I quickly pick which one is right for me
