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 · O2 partialup to +5.5
    “No future updates”

    A developer sees a 'no updates' clause on a JS kit and assumes the product is disposable.

    Proposalyou decide
    Offer a limited update window (e.g., 6 months) for the Starter tier.
  2. 02CostlyProof · P2 pass
    “Is this outbid.lol? No... Outbid.lol is one board that made ~$90k in two days.”

    The only verifiable high-value proof is buried in the FAQ, leaving the rest of the page as claims.

    Proposalyou decide
    Place the Outbid.lol $90k result in the 'Why this exists' section.
  3. 03DragOffer · O5 pass
    “If the untouched kit doesn't run”

    The word 'untouched' signals a loophole, making the guarantee feel like a trap.

    Proposalyou decide
    Remove 'untouched' and guarantee the kit's functionality.
  4. 04DragClarity · C5 pass
    “[Get BidKit - $99](/api/checkout)”

    Technical buyers who need to verify the stack or API before paying will bounce.

    Proposalyou decide
    Add a 'View Docs' link next to the primary CTA.
3 strengths

Don’t break these.

  • Leave the interactive demo board as the primary visual.
  • Keep the 'Sponsors pay monthly. Rivalries pay daily' contrast.
  • Keep the one-time payment model and clear pricing grid.
