Here are my 2 cents about the pricing page you have @jasonkester "Cheap Bastard Plan" is both little too much slang, and unpleasant to look at if you are in a demo to show this service to upper management. I am not saying that you should have a boring, enterprisey pricing page with formal words, in fact I really like what you did there with free plan. Just saying that you can rephrase it with little more easy-going words. :) Great product, congrats!

I would like to encourage you to rename it the "Cheap Fucking Bastard Plan" because discomfort amongst the corporate set is good for America.

    Hi, DOJ here, just wondering if you'd be willing to forward me a list of people who read that link and then clicked on it? Thanks!

Touche. Perhaps "Cheap Side Project Plan" would work. Most upper managers wouldn't want their project(s) to be considered mere side projects...

You'll want Upper Management to be looking at the Features Page[1] instead. Though I should probably add some more check marks to it just to be on the safe side. [1] https://www.s3stat.com/Features.aspx https://www.s3stat.com/Features.aspx

  The fact that some of the 'features' are two lines, but there's no way to differentiate rows makes that page kind of hard to read, fwiw. Not that it really matters, because who actually gives a shit about those aside from the # of check marks!

    Just wanted to +1 this issue, OP can fix this if they increase the width of the container of the page.

  There's a typo there - "complements", not "compliments". "S3STAT is a service that compliments Amazon's CloudFront and S3 offerings"

Or he could keep it as it is.. add a link to the page for a new page "For the Big Wigs" that's more enterprisey and uses words like "synergy"

$300 a month falls well within discretionary spend for even moderately sized orgs. This would need at most, VP level sign off.

  In fact it's often far easier to get hundreds of dollars per month approved than tens. Everybody knows who's responsible for approving hundreds, no one really wants to think about who approves $10. All of the people who want to spend $10 are approved for nothing at all of the people who would approve and set up $10 are too busy for such small stuff. I'd jack it to $750. To corporate, it's the exact same choice.
