FWIW, it would be great if you had a breakdown of the TCO. The price is at a point where many orgs would have some suit decide "we have a DevOps guy, we'll just run Backstage ourselves and save $27K/yr". I think it's worth the money but you need to show the suits where that money is going, what kind of value they're getting from having you run it, and consider the risks (what if it gets compromised, goes down, etc). Also, I don't see SSO mentioned; you really want to mention that, it's pretty important for enterprise.

Thanks for the feedback and fwiw I completely agree. We can do much better in this area. We're a team of engineers so we struggle with marketing and copy.
SSO is supported on all plans by default.

No pricing on your page? Are you “contact our sales team” expensive?

? There is transparent pricing from 50 up to 150 developers: roadie.io/pricing/ It's linked directly in the header.
For deals bigger than 150 devs, we have found customers prefer to talk to sales.

FYI: the link to the pricing page doesn't appear in your mobile menu
