What do you think of the de facto pricing of SaaS companies where they list 50$ per month (PAID YEARLY).
Almost every SaaS pricing is doing this.
At obe point few customers would write us and claim that our competitors were cheaper even though they were not.
The yearly plan of the competitor was slightly cheaper than our monthly plan. That forced us also to play that game where we added yearly plans with the pay 50$ per month (PAID YEARLY) just to not look more expensive on a superificial comparison of our customers
- benjaminwootton 5y agoThey also like to put dark UX patterns around this. More than once I’ve had to request a refund after seeing a monthly price and then being billed for the annual price.
- smoldesu 5y agoIt's likely based around driving a sunken cost fallacy where the price is good enough to justify buying outright but the value is just good enough to force you to use it.
- stavros 5y agoI had my service's pricing page say "$5 per year" and lots of people complained that $5 per month is too expensive. So I switched to "$1 per month (paid yearly)" and now get far fewer complaints for more than double the price. I consider it a tax on something. https://imgz.org/money/ https://imgz.org/money/
