I Built a Tiny Calculator to Find Pricing Page Leaks in SaaS Plans

The Problem: Most SaaS pricing pages have 3 hidden leaks
After auditing 20+ freelance pricing pages and SaaS pricing tables, I found the same 3 mistakes appearing over and over. I turned them into a calculator.
Input your pricing and get 3 specific leaks in 60 seconds.

Real Output Examples
Example 1: 29 dollars per month, 20% annual, 5 seats, 3 hidden features
- Leak 1: Annual discount 20% pushes users away. Industry baseline is 10-15 percent
- Leak 2: Seat limit 5 has no natural upgrade trigger. Teams hit the wall mid-project
- Leak 3: 3 gates -- acceptable (threshold is 4 or more)
Example 2: 49 dollars per month, 30% annual, 3 seats, 5 hidden features
- Leak 1: Annual discount 30 percent -- aggressive. You are losing 10 percent above baseline
- Leak 2: Seat limit 3 -- very tight, teams WILL upgrade. Good short term, bad for trust long term
- Leak 3: 5 hidden features -- feature frustration zone. Users feel the product is incomplete at base tier
Example 3: 99 dollars per month, 15% annual, 10 seats, 2 hidden features
- All three checks pass. Your pricing structure is reasonable.
- If conversions are low, the problem is pitch -- not numbers.
What These Leaks Actually Cost You
The math is simple:
- Leak 1 (Annual discount): Every 5 percent above 15 percent baseline = 4 percent of annual customers choose not to upgrade
- Leak 2 (Seat limits): Tight seat limits create upgrade pressure but also resentment. Users delay upgrades = delayed revenue plus churn risk
- Leak 3 (Feature gates): More than 3 gates creates nickel and dimed feeling. This is the number one reason users cite for switching products
