Pricing Page Breakdown

  • Sprout social is putting on a masterclass in pricing pages here
    • Display “Most Popular Plan” above professional
      • Super easy to understand Good, Better, Best grid layout with variable pricing strategy
    • They have all the things below the fold
      • Social proof
      • Customer list
      • FAQ
      • Secondary CTA to call or email
  • Four things I don’t like:
    • Who is each package for? A description can really help orient customers to the package that is right for them
    • The feature list in the grid is a bit long, I think it’d be better to move the bulk of the features into a “Compare features” section
    • Professional visually has more features than Advanced so it looks like Professional is more valuable – this might be by design
    • They nailed the simplicity of the Good, Better, Best layout and then have three additional “Premium” add ons that complicates things
