Headline removes friction before pricing appears

“Your first week’s on us” is short, bold, and value-led. It answers the emotional question first before introducing plans or cost. This framing lowers resistance and invites exploration instead of forcing a decision too early.

Hick's Law

Fewer plan choices reduce decision fatigue

Only two paid tiers are shown, each with a clear role and minimal copy. Short tier names and one-line descriptions make the comparison lightweight. This avoids overwhelming users and speeds up commitment.

Trial transparency builds trust and boosts conversion

The step-by-step timeline clearly explains what happens today, during the trial, and when billing starts. By making charging behavior explicit, the design removes fear and signals honesty, which increases trial sign-ups.

Progressive Disclosure

Progressive disclosure respects different decision styles

Most users can decide from the plan cards alone. For those who need details, the comparison table is available without dominating the screen. This layered approach keeps the UI clean while still supporting deep evaluation.

Call to Action (CTA)Conversion

CTA reassurance reduces hesitation

The primary CTA uses inviting language and sits close to supporting reassurance text like “Cancel anytime.” This pairing reduces last-second doubt and encourages action without pressure or manipulation.
