Common CRO pattern

You don't know if your pricing is optimal

A/B test your pricing page layout and copy

Small changes to your pricing page — headline, plan names, feature order, CTA wording — can increase conversion 20-50%.

MonetizationIntermediate
1-2 days to set up each test, 2-4 weeks per test

When to use

You have a pricing page with at least 200 monthly visitors. You haven't tested it recently.

Hypothesis template

If we A/B test fill in: pricing page element, we'll increase conversion by fill in: target% because pricing page optimization has outsized impact on revenue.

Method

The problem: You set up your pricing page once and never tested it. It might be leaving significant money on the table.

What works: Systematic A/B testing of pricing page elements. Small changes often have large effects because the pricing page is where buying decisions happen.

The result: Companies that actively test their pricing page see 20-50% conversion improvements. The pricing page is typically the highest-leverage page to optimize.

How to do it:

  1. Start with the highest-impact elements:
    • Headline (what you lead with)
    • Plan names (creative vs descriptive)
    • Feature order (lead with what matters most)
    • CTA button text and color
    • Social proof placement
  2. Test ONE element at a time
  3. Run each test for at least 2 weeks or 100 pricing page visitors per variant
  4. Measure: conversion rate, revenue per visitor, plan distribution
  5. Document what works and move to the next element
  6. Re-test annually as your product and audience evolve

Key insight: The pricing page is your highest-leverage page. A 20% improvement here directly increases revenue without any other changes.

  • •Pricing page conversion rate
  • •Revenue per pricing page visitor
  • •Plan distribution change
  • •Statistical significance of tests

Prerequisites

  • Enough pricing page traffic for statistical significance
  • An A/B testing tool or ability to split traffic
  • Analytics on pricing page behavior

Common pitfalls

  • •Testing too many things at once
  • •Ending tests too early (need statistical significance)
  • •Only testing cosmetic changes (also test the value proposition)
  • •Not tracking revenue per visitor, just conversion rate
