How a Simple Pricing Page Change Generated $500K+ in Annual Revenue for Our Client

A rapidly expanding SaaS company came to us with a critical challenge: strong traffic wasn’t translating into the conversions they expected. Their pricing page was underperforming, leading to missed opportunities. With a focused approach, we drove changes that added over $500K to their annual revenue. Here’s how.

The Challenge: A Pricing Page That Confused, Not Converted

The pricing page is often the make-or-break moment for customers. For this client, it was clear from the data that this was where users were hesitating. Using heat-maps and session recordings, we identified two key issues:

1. Cluttered Layout: Users were overwhelmed by too much information and an unclear visual hierarchy, leading to decision fatigue.
2. Lack of Clarity: Pricing tiers were confusing, and the value of each option wasn’t immediately apparent.

The Solution: A Simplified and Strategic Pricing Page Redesign

We knew the pricing page needed to be more intuitive and value-driven. Here are the key changes we made:

1. Simplified the Layout: We reduced the amount of text and focused on clear, concise descriptions of each pricing tier.
2. Highlighted the Most Popular Option: By visually emphasizing the plan most customers chose, we leveraged social proof to guide decision-making.

Before vs. After: A Visual Transformation

Here’s a snapshot of the pricing page before and after the redesign:

Before:
- A design that increased cognitive load and effort for the user.
- No clear indication of which option was best for the user.
- Limited visual hierarchy.

After:
- A clean, modular layout with a focus on key features.
- The most popular option highlighted with a "Best Value" badge.
- Added "Best for" description to each pricing tier. e.g. "Just starting out"

The Results: $500K+ in Additional Revenue

The results of the redesign were immediate and measurable:

- Conversion Rate Increase: The pricing page’s conversion rate jumped from 5.58% to 6.03%, a +8% improvement.

- Higher Average Order Value: Customers were more likely to select the higher-tier plan, with 41% of users selecting Creator or Creator+ compared to 32% in the control, leading to a +28% increase in higher-tier plan selection.

- Annual Revenue Growth: Over the course of a year, this translated to ~$518,724 incremental revenue

‍

These results reinforced the importance of a user-focused design approach to drive real business outcomes.
