Great feedback. Thank you.
2) Probably not good for nontechnical people but on the other hand most accurate for technical people.
3) Your point sounds reasonable. How would you describe the need of some companies need to host 100% of their data? Medical companies for example. This is the point I was trying to convey in the pricing.
4) Square is the new web 3.0 :)

The phrase "data sovereignty requirements" comes to mind.

I suppose it depends if you selling flowchart software to mainly technical people? Else if it is more like Excel users, you may want to go with 'as intuitive as Word' or something similiar.
I'd just list 'fully secure' or 'encrypted' as one of the features, and not put it in the price plan at all.
True enough on the Web 3.0 look! I'd recommend using one of the many colour palette tools on the Web though, just to get a more natural softer look between the various hues.
2. Is 'pseudo code' the best description to use? Even the word 'code' can put non-technical people off as they associate it with complexity.
3. The pricing: hosting and support are good reasons to pay, but 'full confidentiality'? It seems you are going out of your way to make the product insecure because the user is not paying. It comes across as a bit money-grabbing.
4. The gif on the front page works well to show off the product simplicity in an intuitive way. My only thoughts is the flowchart could do with looking a bit more 'web 2.0'; SVG elements so you can have rounded corners, shadow effects, colours that work together, arrows that look more professional etc.
