Looks like it could be helpful but after spending over two minutes looking for pricing and not finding it I'll never know.

I refuse to even try a product that won't be upfront about pricing. Don't 1) tell me I can get two months free, 2) offer to let me take a test drive or 3) ask for my email address before you've given me a chance to review your standard price model.

I'm sure in the long run I am missing out on some really cool things but I started noticing this trend of hiding pricing to force engagement years ago and I have gotten to a point where I simply refuse to play along.

Happy to hear I'm wrong and there is an obvious "Check out our prices!" link that I just completely missed...

Hey thanks for the feedback. We are certainly not trying to hide the pricing - as it happens we created a new landing page specifically for this new feature and I forgot to put the pricing on it (I'll do that now).

Our pricing currently has a free tier where you don't get any of the premium integrations, or a $5 tier where you do. However, we are changing it to a flat $10 per month pricing plan next week so you can get a bit of a deal for the next 6 months if you sign up now.

Thanks for letting me know, that's pricing that tells me I should spend more time looking into your product.

And for the record, I wasn't trying to single you out or pick on your site - I find myself getting more and more impatient with company's not being upfront about their pricing over the years so it's basically the first thing I look for these days.

I agree 100% - this happened to me yesterday in fact when we were looking at Paddle for payment/subscription processing and signing up/finding out the pricing required speaking with sales, so we decided to not keep looking into it.
Big Amen from me, I was just about to write the same thing.

No pricing page means it’s possible I’ll end up needing to talk to a sales rep or they’ll end up wanting a subscription for any meaningful features.
