The Pricing Table Pattern That Converts (Copy-Paste Code)

People don't read pricing tables. They scan them for permission to choose. Design for that and conversions follow. Copy-paste pattern below.

The rules

• Three tiers — two feels thin, four paralyses
• Highlight the middle — "Most popular" badge + a subtle lift
• Value lines, not features — "Unlimited projects" > "project module"
• One CTA per plan, same weight

Copy-paste it

.pricing{display:grid;gap:16px;grid-template-columns:repeat(auto-fit,minmax(220px,1fr))}
.tier{border:1px solid #e5e7eb;border-radius:12px;padding:24px;text-align:center}
.tier.featured{border-color:#4a9eff;box-shadow:0 8px 30px rgba(74,158,255,.15);transform:translateY(-6px)}
.badge{background:#4a9eff;color:#fff;padding:3px 10px;border-radius:20px}

(Full markup in the post — three .tier cards, the middle one .featured.)

Honest psychology

Anchoring makes the middle plan feel reasonable; "most popular" is social proof; fewer benefit-led lines lower the effort of comparing. Not manipulation when the plans are fair.
