What pricing-page experiments have SaaS companies actually run?
Lazyweb detected 301 pricing-area experiments (254 mobile plan-picker diffs + 47 web pricing-table diffs), our model scoring web PRICING TABLE changes highest for impact (3.60 of 5 vs 3.52 for mobile PRICING) [1]. The recurring plays are tier restructuring — collapsing to a single hero price, adding a $0 floor, deleting a mid tier, splitting into audience tracks — plus billing-cadence and badge moves [1]. Every one is a detected before/after diff with inferred rationale, not a confirmed A/B win.
Lazyweb detected 301 pricing-area experiments (254 mobile + 47 web) in July 2026; web pricing-table changes scored highest impact at 3.60/5.
The tested-area landscape
The 301 pricing-area experiments split by platform and carry model-assigned impact/confidence scores (1–5, for relative ranking only) [1]:
| Area | Platform | Count | Avg impact | Avg confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PRICING | mobile | 254 | 3.52 | 3.76 |
| PRICING TABLE | web | 47 | 3.60 | 3.51 |
Web pricing-table changes edge out mobile on impact but with lower confidence — a thin, higher-variance set [1]. These scores rank experiments against each other; they are not measured lift.
The recurring plays (named before/after diffs)
The highest-scored detected pricing-table diffs, with the change and inferred rationale [1]:
| Play | Observed change | Inferred rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Collapse to hero price | 3-tier grid → single '$8/mo' headline + one CTA | Remove the downgrade escape hatch and plan-evaluation step |
| Widen entry with $0 | 3 paid tiers → Free $0 · $5 · $15 · $30 · Custom staircase | Capture hobbyists instead of bouncing at a $10 floor |
| Split into tracks | 3 per-person tiers → individual + team tracks, each with a free tier | Stop solo users parsing '/person' pricing; drop top anchor $21→$10 |
| Remove the mid tier | 4 tiers → 3 (delete $29.99 'Business') | Spare a three-way comparison; route agencies to sales |
| Trim flanks, hold anchor | Hobbyist $16→$12, Business $50→$40, keep 'Most Popular' Creator $24 | Lower entry barrier without discounting the anchor tier |
| Repriced per-seat | Growth $297.50/mo flat (5 seats) → $42.50/mo per user | Let a small team start near $85 instead of a ~$300 anchor |
Company attribution for these diffs is inferred from the pricing details in each summary, not a verified join [1].
How to apply this
Use this as a tested-play menu, not a leaderboard of proven wins. If your funnel problem is decision paralysis, the tested moves are collapse-to-hero-price or delete-the-mid-tier. If it's entry too expensive, it's add-a-$0-floor or trim-the-flanking-tiers. If it's wrong buyer confusion, it's split-into-individual-and-team-tracks. If it's a team pricing wall, it's switch-flat-bundle-to-per-seat [1]. Each was scored high-impact by our model but remains a detected diff with inferred rationale — reproduce it as your own A/B before trusting the direction.
