Pricing page messaging
Pricing page messaging should make the choice easy, not just list prices. Say who each plan is for, lead with the value that justifies the price, show only what changes between plans, and answer the objections buyers have at that moment. Your positioning sets the price buyers expect, so the page has to match your category.
Why positioning comes first
Dunford points out that once you name your market, buyers assume things about your competitors, your features and even your pricing based on what they already know about that market. A price that fits the category you claim feels fair. One that does not raises questions the page has to answer.

FAQs
Should we show prices at all?
If buyers in your category expect to see them, yes. Hiding them fits when deals are custom and buyers expect a sales conversation.
How many plans should we have?
As few as cover your real segments. Each plan should map to a distinct buyer.
Should the pricing page repeat the homepage message?
Briefly. Visitors often land there directly, so restate what the product is in one line.
