Primary Bet

Convert free users to paid by making the Lite tier feel incomplete — lock competitor benchmarking behind the $29.99 tier instead of just showing less of it.

Why

Two prices for the same product ($29.99 and $9.99) sit on the same page with no explanation. Fixing that trust gap has to happen before any positioning work — no headline rewrite survives a visitor noticing the price changed mid-page.

Result

N/A — independent analysis, not a client.
