- Q 01
Billing toggle experiment kit
Three captured billing experiment pairs: annual savings, annual price framing and selected cadence. Compare the original screens, read the observed differences and reuse the experiment brief. - Q 02
Should billing cadence and feature tiers use the same pricing control?
They answer different questions: a tier selects what is included, while billing cadence selects when payment recurs. Keep those dimensions distinguishable. Lazyweb’s existing pricing research documen… - Q 03
How many pricing tiers do SaaS pricing pages actually show — is 3 really the norm?
We can't publish a clean tier-count distribution: of the 183 labeled desktop SaaS pricing pages Lazyweb tracks, 0 join to the structural vision data, so tier counts aren't computable as a census. Wha… - Q 04
What % of pricing pages highlight a 'Most popular' plan, and which column gets it?
38% of the 301 detected pricing experiments (115 of 301) reference a 'Most popular' / 'Best value' / 'Recommended' badge or highlighted plan — making highlight badges the single most-mentioned struct… - Q 05
Monthly vs annual: how do pricing pages present the billing toggle?
Annual billing is the single most-referenced theme in pricing experiments: 57% (172 of 301) of detected pricing-area diffs mention an annual / yearly / 12-month plan. An explicit monthly↔annual toggl… - Q 06
What % of pricing pages hide enterprise pricing behind 'Contact us'?
In the tested set, enterprise gating is a minority theme: only 3% of the 301 detected pricing experiments (9 of 301) reference enterprise / contact-us / custom pricing. That's low mainly because most… - Q 07
What % of pricing pages include a free plan, and how do companies place it?
27% of the 301 detected pricing experiments (81 of 301) touch a free plan, free tier, or $0 option — the fourth most common theme after annual billing, badges, and toggles. The most-cited placement m… - Q 08
What pricing-page experiments have SaaS companies actually run?
Lazyweb detected 301 pricing-area experiments (254 mobile plan-picker diffs + 47 web pricing-table diffs), our model scoring web PRICING TABLE changes highest for impact (3.60 of 5 vs 3.52 for mobile… - Q 09
Should you show every plan, or curate one default and hide the rest behind 'View all plans'?
The 'curate one plan, hide the rest' pattern is rare but tested: only 2% of the 301 pricing experiments (6 of 301) use a 'View all plans' collapse, and 18% (54) preselect a default plan more broadly.… - Q 10
Dark or light: what background do mobile plan-picker screens use?
71% of app 'All plans' screens (180 of 255) use a dark or black background versus 23% (58) light — mobile plan pickers skew heavily dark. But read the denominator carefully: those 255 screens come fr…
