What will go wrong on launch day.

Fatal · they leave before they understandCostly · they understand and still leaveDrag · it works, and could work better
  1. 01CostlyOffer · O4 failup to +9.3
    “Get the month back section”

    A visitor spends more time reading complex rebate rules than the product's core value proposition.

    Proposalyou decide
    Move the detailed rules to a separate page; keep a one-sentence summary on the main page.
  2. 02DragOffer · O2 partialup to +4.3
    “Most people pick this (under Monthly)”

    The buyer is nudged toward the most expensive long-term option rather than the best value.

    Proposalyou decide
    Move the 'Most popular' tag to the Yearly plan.
  3. 03DragAudience · A1 partialup to +4.1
    “Claude Keychain stores your API keys”

    A visitor who doesn't know Claude Code may not realize the tool is specifically for them.

    Proposalyou decide
    Add 'For developers using Claude Code' to the sub-headline.
  4. 04DragClarity · C5 partialup to +6.6
    “Get Keychain for $4/mo”

    The visitor is unsure if they are entering a checkout, a sign-up, or a download.

    Proposalyou decide
    Change the label to 'Buy and Download Keychain'.
