## What this is

A small study of SaaS pricing cards. The point is not the specific price. It is the structure around the decision: plan name, anchor, proof, feature grouping, risk reduction, and CTA clarity.

## What it demonstrates

Pricing UI has to make comparison easy without flattening every plan into the same weight. The design needs a clear default, honest tradeoffs, and enough detail to reduce anxiety.

## Design notes

The card keeps the price prominent, pushes secondary copy into quieter lines, and gives the CTA enough contrast to feel actionable without overpowering the page.

## How it connects to product work

Pricing is product strategy rendered as interface. These studies connect messaging, layout, analytics, and user intent into a surface that can be tested and improved.

## What to look for

### Recruiter signal

Shows product and growth judgment: pricing is treated as a decision interface with strategy, not a decorative card grid.

### Useful output

A structured review of plan naming, default emphasis, feature grouping, objection handling, and CTA behavior.

### Next iteration

Build a pricing-section variant in the React dashboard shell with event names for plan comparison and CTA clicks.
