The NationBuilder pricing section is effective for several reasons:
Clear Hierarchy and Visual Appeal:
Headline Focus: “Flexible plans to fit every mission” is a clear and concise headline that immediately communicates the value proposition.
Toggle Switch: The “Pay annually/Pay monthly” toggle allows users to easily compare pricing options based on their preferred billing cycle.
Tiered Structure: Three distinct tiers (Starter, Pro, Enterprise) are clearly displayed with visual separation and descriptive labels.
Visual Cues: The “RECOMMENDED” banner highlights a popular option. Pricing is prominently displayed. “Start your free trial” and “Learn more” buttons are clearly visible.
Value-Based Differentiation:
Target Audience: Each tier description clearly defines the target customer profile and their needs (e.g., “essential starter kit,” “world-class features you can add on,” “most powerful plan, all inclusive, and built for scale”).
Feature Hints: The descriptions suggest increasing functionality and value across tiers.
Transparent Pricing:
Clear Pricing: Prices are clearly displayed for the Starter and Pro tiers, along with the per-month unit.
Custom Pricing Option: The Enterprise tier offers “Custom pricing,” which is suitable for larger organizations with complex needs.
Addressing Different User Needs:
Tier Names: The names (Starter, Pro, Enterprise) suggest different levels of service and functionality, catering to various stages of business growth.
Target Audience Descriptions: The descriptions explicitly target different customer segments based on their size and needs.
Strategic Use of Information:
Call to Action: “Start your free trial” and “Learn more” buttons are strategically placed for each tier.
Contact Input: The “Choose number of contacts” input allows for immediate personalization and filtering.
Emphasis on Scalability: The messaging emphasizes the flexibility to add features as needed and the scalability of the Enterprise plan.
Free Trial Option: The free trial option encourages users to try the product risk-free.
