Analysis
Formstack scores 79 out of 100, an A. A first-time visitor can tell what this is, who it's for and why it matters. That puts it in the top 10% of the 30,521 homepages we've ranked, where the median is 60. Among B2B SaaS sites, where the median is 73, it's 6 points ahead.
The headline reads "Forms, Docs, and Sign. Designed to Work Together.". The verbs hint at what the product does, but the headline could say more plainly what it is. Its clarity score of 90 is above the overall median of 39.
The page has 7 CTAs, 2 of them above the fold. The main button, "Talk to Sales", promises a benefit rather than just an action. Its CTA score is 75, above the median of 45.
The homepage makes it obvious who this is for. Detected audience: enterprise / mid-market, B2B SaaS, manager and team. It uses a "for [audience]" line: "creating forms". Its ICP score is 91, above the median of 35.
Formstack fits the "Price / Value Leader" archetype with high confidence.
The pricing page has a free tier, an annual billing toggle, and social proof elements. 6 tiers is a lot. Two to four is the sweet spot, and past that buyers get stuck comparing options. Show actual prices on your pricing page. Hidden pricing creates friction and drives visitors away.

- Show actual prices on your pricing page. Hidden pricing creates friction and drives visitors away.
- Too many tiers create decision fatigue. Aim for 2-4 tiers with clear differentiation.
- Add a FAQ section to your pricing page. It addresses objections and reduces support load.
- Add a feature comparison table. It helps visitors understand the differences between tiers at a glance.
