Ask HN: What are the best pricing pages you have seen?
We are working on presenting our pricing page better and are looking for some good examples.
An open Ask HN community consultation from 2013 where @bavidar convened hundreds of developers and bootstrappers to share real experiences, hard numbers, and tactics.
Core Principles for Independent Builders:
Participants share raw revenue figures, churn rates, and stack decisions that corporate PR never publishes.
Recurring answers reveal that distribution, not coding skill, is almost universally the rate-limiting step in developer businesses.
Practical recommendations on bookkeeping, payment gateways (Stripe vs Paddle), and freelance-to-product transitions.
Community Debate Themes:
Hundreds of active indie hackers contributed case studies, pricing heuristics, and pitfalls to avoid when moonlighting on side projects.

Keep it simple. Give people a few options to pick from. Tell people what the most popular option is. You could always A/B test different versions to see what is working.
