Pricing pages with a monthly and annual toggle (212)

The 212 pricing pages here that carry a switch between monthly and annual billing, so the visitor can see both numbers without leaving the page.

Key takeaways

  • Show the monthly and the annual price, so nobody has to guess the discount.
  • Put logos or ratings near the switch. That's where the best pages differ most.
  • Offer a free trial or a free plan, so people can start before picking a billing period.

What the best pricing pages with a toggle do

A billing toggle lets visitors switch between the monthly and the annual price. Choosing annual means paying for a year up front, so the best pages give people reasons to trust that choice.

Show both prices clearly

1% of the best pricing pages hide a price. If a page shows an annual price as a monthly figure and doesn't say it's billed yearly, the visitor only finds out at checkout.

Show proof near the switch

70% of the best pricing pages carry a logo wall, and 30% add review-site ratings. Someone paying for a full year usually hasn't used the product for long, so the logos and ratings sit close to the annual price.

Offer a way to start first

69% of the best pricing pages offer a free trial, and 66% have a free tier. Some visitors aren't ready to pick monthly or annual yet. A trial lets them start using the product today and decide on billing later.

FAQ

Billing toggles, answered

What the best pricing pages put around a monthly and annual switch, from the 212 here.

How many pricing pages have a billing toggle?

01

Many of them. After the plan grid itself, it's one of the most common things you'll find on a pricing page.

What is different about a page with a toggle?

02

These pages almost never hide a price, while other pricing pages often do. They also have a free tier and a comparison table more often. That makes sense, because a toggle needs published prices to switch between.

Should the toggle default to monthly or annual?

03

Either is fine, as long as the other price is easy to find. What goes wrong is an annual price shown as a monthly figure with no note that it's billed yearly. Visitors find that out at checkout, and they remember it.

What separates the best pages with a toggle?

04

Proof, by a wide margin. Most of the best pages here have a logo wall, and many also show review-site ratings or award badges. An annual plan asks someone to pay for a whole year, so it helps to show who already uses the product right next to the switch.

What should the annual side actually say?

05

How much the visitor saves, for example two months free or a lower price per seat. If the page changes the number without naming the discount, the reader has to work out the saving on their own.
