On the pricing page: Salad has a free tier, an annual billing toggle, a feature comparison table, social proof elements, and an FAQ section. 6 tiers is a lot — the sweet spot is 2–4, otherwise buyers get overwhelmed comparing options. Too many tiers create decision fatigue. Aim for 2-4 tiers with clear differentiation.
