When did this become the standard? Why even name it pricing? Tier list would be more appropriate.

Thank you for your lack of transparency and for using dark patterns.

It's a strategy for avoiding signups from users that are unlikely to convert to sales. In the early stages of finding product-market-fit flexibility in pricing and limiting users to people that are strongly aligned with what you're doing can be pretty effective at figuring out how the product should look and be priced once you're ready to scale out to any users.

The pricing isn’t displayed on the website because there isn’t a one-size-fits-all model. However, you can still try it for free, and the website allows you to create a free license.

So how about listing the different sizes for people to see?

This is really something you only do if you have a sales team. If you’re doing sales-led growth then you’re probably not going to benefit from Show HN and Product Hunt, unfortunately (with those being product-led growth). If you’ve not decided which of those two growth models you’re using I’d recommend choosing - you can only do one well. You need a sales team or a price.

What makes you guys so special compared to every website I’ve ever been to of every startup of any size that you can just have no pricing and think people will use your product.

I was excited to try this but I’m not getting started with something even for 5 minutes without knowing what I’m getting myself in for.

this 100%, i was going to add this to a product and pay for it, but having to go through a conversation, justify my use is low, negotiate the price etc. makes me triple-think using you guys. the product is awesome but you are killing growth with this pricing

Also - if you aren’t going to show pricing. Maybe don’t have a page called ‘pricing’ ?
