SaaS Pricing Page: What to Include and What to Skip

A SaaS pricing page should answer one question quickly: which plan is right for me, and what happens when I click? Include a clear plan comparison, a short feature list per plan, an annual and monthly toggle if you offer both, one obvious call to action, and visible answers to billing questions. Leave out jargon, buried costs and plans nobody can tell apart.

Software buyers research more than most customers, and the pricing page is where they check whether your product fits their budget and their team. If the page is vague, they leave to find a competitor who is not. The sections below cover what to put on the page, how to handle self-serve and sales-led products, and what to leave out.

Start with who the page is for

A pricing page serves two readers. One is deciding whether the product is affordable. The other is deciding whether it is worth a conversation with sales. Write for the first reader first, then give the second a clear path.

The right design depends on how you sell.

  • Self-serve. Visitors pick a plan and start a trial or pay without talking to anyone. The page must be complete enough to decide alone.
  • Sales-led. Visitors request a demo or a quote. The page should still explain what is included, so the call starts from the right place.
  • Mixed. Entry plans are self-serve and larger plans go through sales. Show both on the same page, with the call to action matching each.
  • What to include

    A plan comparison that is easy to scan

    Show plans side by side with the same rows in each. Readers compare across, so keep the labels identical and the order consistent. A comparison table with plan names, who each plan is for and the main limits makes a decision possible in seconds.

    Honest differences between plans

    If two plans look the same, visitors cannot choose and may choose nothing. Say what changes between them, such as number of users, usage limits or support level, and state it in plain words.

    Annual and monthly options

    If you offer both billing periods, a toggle lets visitors see each price without leaving the page. Make the active choice obvious, and show what the visitor pays today rather than burying it.

    One call to action per plan

    Each plan needs a button that says what happens next, such as start a trial or request a demo. Give the plan you most want chosen more visual weight than the rest, and keep the wording consistent.

    Answers to the objections people have

    A short FAQ on the page removes friction. Typical questions are what is included, how billing works, whether the plan can be changed later, what happens when the trial ends, and who to contact for a custom need. Put the answers near the plans, not on another page.

    Trust near the price

    Evidence helps most where the decision is made. If you have real customer logos, reviews or a security statement you can stand behind, show them near the plans. If you do not, leave the space empty rather than inventing proof.

    What to skip

  • Hidden costs. Setup fees, per-seat charges or overage rules that only appear at checkout destroy trust.
  • Too many plans. If a visitor needs a table to understand your table, simplify it.
  • Internal names. Plan names and feature labels should mean something to a buyer who has never heard of your product.
  • Feature dumps. List what changes the decision, not every feature you have shipped.
  • A page that only works on a desktop. Many buyers check pricing on a phone before they raise it with their team.
  • How the pricing page fits the rest of the funnel

    The pricing page rarely stands alone. Visitors arrive from a homepage, a features page or an ad, and they leave to a trial, a demo form or the signup flow. Each handoff should be tracked, because a pricing page that converts poorly could be a copy problem, a design problem or a tracking problem.

    The SaaS website design agency service covers this whole path: a conversion-led site structure, pricing page design with plan comparison and annual or monthly toggle, demo and trial calls to action, and GA4 with conversion event tracking. It is built on Next.js, so you own the source code and can deploy on any host.

    If trial signups are the goal, pair the page with correct measurement. The guide on how to track SaaS trial signups in GA4 shows how to count each signup once. For the stages before and after the pricing page, the sales funnel blueprint is a useful companion, and a dedicated landing page is worth considering for paid campaigns that point at a single plan.

    A quick review you can do today

  • Can a first-time visitor tell the plans apart in ten seconds?
  • Is every cost visible before the final step?
  • Does each plan have one button that states the next step?
  • Are billing and trial questions answered on the page?
  • Does the page read well on a phone?
  • Is every click from the page tracked?
  • If two or more answers are no, start there. When you want a second opinion on your own site, book a Free Business Strategy Call.

    Frequently asked questions

    Which elements belong on a SaaS pricing page?

    A scannable plan comparison, honest differences between plans, an annual and monthly toggle if offered, one clear call to action per plan, and visible answers to billing and trial questions.

    How many plans should a pricing page show?

    Show as few as your market needs. If visitors cannot tell the plans apart without effort, simplify the set rather than adding more rows.

    Should a SaaS pricing page show prices or say contact sales?

    Show prices for self-serve plans so visitors can decide alone. Use a contact or demo call to action for larger or custom plans, and say what is included.

    What does a pricing page need on mobile?

    The comparison must be readable on a small screen and every button easy to tap. Many buyers check pricing on a phone before raising it with their team.

    How do I know if the pricing page is working?

    Track clicks on each plan, trial starts and demo requests from the page, and confirm each is counted once. Without that, you cannot tell a copy problem from a tracking problem.
