5 Best Practices for SaaS Pricing Pages (That Actually Convert)

Your pricing page is one of the most critical conversion points on your site. In this post, we break down 5 proven tactics to make it work harder — from showing transparent pricing to using social proof and risk reversals. Perfect for SaaS teams looking to build trust and boost demos or signups.

Your pricing page is one of the highest-intent pages on your website!

When a user visits it, they’re not casually browsing — they’re actively considering whether your product is worth their time and budget.

Yet most SaaS pricing pages still get it wrong: too vague, too cluttered, or too hidden behind a “book a call.”

Here are 5 best practices to help you design a pricing page that builds trust and boosts conversions 👇

1. Show Your Pricing — Don’t Hide It

Transparency = trust.

B2B buyers are increasingly self-service. Hiding pricing behind forms or demos adds friction and reduces lead quality.

Stats to back it:

  • 71% of B2B buyers expect to see pricing on a vendor’s website
  • Companies with open pricing saw up to a 35% increase in demo requests
  • G2 reports that 80% of software buyers are more likely to convert when pricing is clearly displayed

🧠 Psychology: Clear pricing reduces uncertainty and triggers loss aversion (users fear wasting time on products they can't afford). Being upfront removes that anxiety.

2. Use a Side-by-Side Plan Comparison Table

Lay out your plans in a clean, scannable format.

Avoid feature overload or endless bullet points. Instead:

  • Highlight the differences between each tier clearly
  • Use simple, intuitive names like Starter, Pro, and Enterprise
  • Keep pricing tables mobile-friendly and fast to skim

📌 Add a visual emphasis on your “Most Popular” plan — this leverages the anchoring effect, nudging users toward your mid-tier.

3. Include a Risk-Reversal (Free Trial or Guarantee)

Buying software — especially for a team — can feel risky.

Ease that fear with:

  • A 14-day free trial
  • A money-back guarantee
  • Clear cancellation terms

These simple additions reduce buying hesitation and make it easier for users to say yes.

4. Support the Page With Social Proof

Your pricing page is a decision point — reinforce it with trust elements.

Place a short testimonial, client logos, or star ratings right next to the pricing table. This creates a subconscious sense of safety:

“If it worked for them, it’ll probably work for me.”

🧠 Data: Up to 95% of people read reviews before making a purchase decision. Don’t make them leave your site to look.

5. Be Upfront About Any Extras

Don’t surprise users with hidden fees at checkout.

If your pricing excludes setup fees, overages, or certain add-ons — say it clearly.

Clarity = confidence. And confident users convert better.

Bonus Tip: Keep the Page Clean and Distraction-Free

Remove any unnecessary navigation, footer clutter, or competing CTAs.

On a pricing page, you want one thing: a decision.

Help the user get there with fewer detours.

Final Thought

A high-converting pricing page isn’t just about numbers.
It’s about trust, clarity, and reducing friction at every click.

By implementing these five principles, you’re not just showing your price —
you’re showing why your product is worth it.
