Some unsolicited feedback (please feel free to ignore):

When I click on "Pricing" in the nav bar, it scrolls down, and the first thing that catches my eye is "$2100 / month". I happened to see this time that this is the benefit you're projecting and it is actually $2.50/hour. On the previous times I've visited your website based on your HN comments, I've always thought $2100/month was what you were going to charge me and closed the tab.

I've been frustrated myself that people don't read what's right there on the page when they come to my startup app's landing page. Turns out I do the same. Hope this helps you improve the layout / font sizes and such "information hierarchy" so the correct information is conveyed at a glance.

IMHO $2.50/hour is great value, and stands on its own. I know how much my time is worth, so perhaps the page doesn't really have to shout that to convince me.

Again, please feel free to ignore this as it is quite possible that it is just me with the attention span of a goldfish with CTE while clicking around new websites.

Thank you! I hadn’t thought of it that way, but what you wrote makes total sense and explains the engagement issues we’re seeing with the calculator and the pricing section.

Most of our clients have issues with attention span, so your feedback is gold :-) Again, thank you!

Welcome! btw this is how it looked: https://i.imgur.com/qg8gNJF.png

I understand if the window were taller, I'd have seen the actual price cards. I think it's just that when you click "Pricing", you expect the next obvious number you see to be the price.
