Pricing Page Audit Template for Product Strategy

Quarterly at minimum. Audit immediately after any pricing change, product repositioning, or major competitive move. If your pricing page conversion rate drops by more than 0.5pp month-over-month, run an emergency audit. The pricing page is high-impact enough that even small improvements compound significantly.

For B2B SaaS, 2-5% of pricing page visitors clicking a CTA (free trial signup or checkout) is typical. Best-in-class pages hit 7-10%. But conversion rate depends heavily on traffic quality. If most visitors are bottom-of-funnel (from product pages or comparison searches), expect higher rates. If traffic is top-of-funnel (blog readers casually clicking "Pricing"), rates will be lower.

Show pricing publicly for any plan under $500/month. Hidden pricing creates friction, frustrates buyers, and loses you to competitors who are transparent. For enterprise tiers ($500+/mo, complex deployments), "Contact Sales" with a starting price anchor is appropriate. The [Product Strategy Handbook](/strategy-guide) covers pricing transparency as a positioning decision.

Three tiers plus an enterprise tier is the standard. The "rule of three" works because it gives buyers a natural default (the middle option) and clear up/down alternatives. Two tiers does not capture different segments. Five or more creates decision fatigue. If you need more granularity, use add-ons rather than additional base tiers.

Usually, yes. The middle tier benefits from the [anchoring effect](/glossary/prioritization): the expensive tier makes it look reasonable, and the cheap tier makes it look full-featured. But if your growth strategy depends on high-volume low-tier adoption (PLG), highlighting the entry tier can make sense. Test both and let the data decide. ---
