The video doesn't start - I know it could be a line problem, but it should me blazingly fast everywhere, since that's what you're using to sell your product. And once started, it's tiny!

Also, excluding the video there aren't any screenshot around, and the "Tour" is just a list with tiny thumbnails.

Excluding those things, however, I think that everything else is well done: it clearly states the price (maybe, add a high-level offer with an high price tag) and explains pretty well some advantages. Also, the try button is everywhere so it's ok. :)

Why don't you offer a basic free-forever account with like: 1 user, 1 project, 1 invoice/month, etc. Something like this. I think it would be perceived really better than a 30-days test (that will still exists!).

hey good feedback thanks.

- I'll look in to the speed issue. - the screenshots, i'll maybe make those lightboxes - I'm not sure what you mean by high-level offer? - the free forever is basically freemium and i'm trying to get away from that, but i'll consider it. I wondered about making a 7 day trial but like you say making the 'after 7 days you get put on your free account', or something like that.

High-level: I mean something with a steep price tag, with maybe high margins for you. Something like "1000 users, 24/7 assistance" with a really high price. Or something less. However, I think that you should be able to offer also something "high end". Think about restaurant menu design: the highest priced item isn't almost ever bought, but it raises the bar for everyone else. It's a matter of perception. Of course, you must be able to satisfy that high-end request, so if you can't do 24/7 assistance I don't mean you should still add it. :)

Freemium: I agree on your positions. Just maybe think of a small, really small solution that could be free forever. This one is also a matter of perceptions. If you hurry me with 30 days of testing, I think twice before subscribing, since I need to do that at a time when I'm going to have 30 days of test time. Otherwise, I'll just subscribe and I'll test it when I can. Some days of full trial and then put on free is a good solution imho.
