I'm sorry to hear the effect that not having a pricing page has had on you. Thanks for sharing your feedback.

A few thoughts:

1) Focusmate IS free to use 3 times per week. Most of our users are on the free plan. You can use it in perpetuity for free.

2) We don't have a pricing page yet because we started charging 29 days ago, and because we're shipping product incrementally. (We are a 3-person team with 1 engineer, FWIW.)

3) At this very nascent stage, there is value to being able to run pricing tests, which we can't do if we publish a pricing page. (The downside is we annoy some people, which is not a trivial downside. Knowing the negative effect on you is meaningful to us/me.)

I welcome additional thoughts/feedback.

The lack of a pricing page usually infuriates me, but you've articulated a pretty good reason (#3) for it to be missing under some specific circumstances. I'd not thought of that.

To be honest though, I usually just see it as a dark pattern and quickly back-button away from wherever I am.

At least you can make sure that the home page shows that it's only free for 3 sessions a week, then users have to pay, even if you can't/don't-want-to show the exact pricing.

Better say that Focusmate is free to try. 3 times/week is so little to be any useful.

If a user is exceeding this free teir, they're likely finding it useful enough to pay, and should pay
