Analysis

Today scores 40 out of 100 on homepage messaging, earning a D grade — below average — significant gaps in clarity or targeting. Across all 30,134 sites analyzed, that's well below the median of 59. Within Developer Tools / Infrastructure, where the median is 60, Today lands 20 points below the industry average.

No hero text found. Visitors see nothing above the fold that tells them what you do.

The page has 16 CTAs, 7 of them above the fold. That's enough to trigger decision paralysis — when too many buttons compete for attention, visitors often click none. The primary CTA "Amazon Customer-Loved Finds for April, Starting a…" is a value-oriented CTA — it promises a benefit, not just an action.

Audience targeting is unclear. Detected audience: Media / Content / Publishing. ICP clarity score: 15 (below the median of 35).

Today fits the "Price / Value Leader" archetype with moderate confidence.

On the pricing page: Today has a free tier, an annual billing toggle, 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.

The biggest opportunities for Today: Audience targeting is weak — adding a "for [specific role/company type]" pattern would sharpen the positioning immediately. First impression clarity is below median — visitors can't quickly tell what category this product falls into.
