The Plan Picker element creates optimized paywalls that maximize conversion rates through clear pricing presentation and friction-free selection. It’s the go-to element for subscription apps to present pricing options.
Plan Picker configuration

When to Use

Essential for:
  • Paywalls - Primary subscription selection
  • Pricing pages - Multiple plan comparison
  • Billing period choice - Monthly vs annual selection
  • Upsell screens - Upgrade to premium tiers
  • Trial offers - Free trial with plan pre-selection
Plan Picker is specifically designed for subscription products. For one-time purchases or simple price selection, use Price Picker.

How It Works

The Plan Picker is a container element that holds individual Plan components. Each Plan represents a subscription option with its own pricing, features, and billing period.
Plan Picker (Container)
├── Plan 1: Monthly - $9.99/month
├── Plan 2: Annual - $99/year (Save 20%)
└── Plan 3: Lifetime - $299 once

Creating Plans

Adding Plans

1

Add Plan Picker

Drag Plan Picker element onto your page
2

Add Individual Plans

Click ”+” to add Plan elements inside the picker
3

Configure Each Plan

Set product, pricing, and features for each plan
4

Set Default Selection

Choose which plan is pre-selected (usually best value)

Plan Configuration

Each plan within the picker has: Essential Settings
  • Product - Link to product in dashboard
  • Custom ID - For tracking and logic
  • Checkout link - Direct purchase URL (optional)
Pricing Display
  • Price text - “$9.99/month” (supports variables)
  • Old price - Strike-through for discounts
  • Badge - “BEST VALUE”, “POPULAR”, “SAVE 50%”
Visual Hierarchy
  • Badge Type - Success (green), Danger (red), Warning (yellow)
  • Default selected - Pre-select recommended plan

Paywall Best Practices

The 3-Plan Strategy

Most effective paywall structure:
Plan 1: Monthly
- Lowest commitment
- Highest per-month price
- No badge

Plan 2: Annual (DEFAULT)
- Best value badge
- Show savings percentage
- Pre-selected

Plan 3: Lifetime
- One-time payment
- "Limited offer" badge
- Highest total price
Pre-selecting the annual plan increases revenue by 30-40% compared to monthly default selection.

Pricing Psychology

Anchoring Show most expensive option first or last to make others seem reasonable Decoy Effect Make middle option most attractive by comparison Loss Aversion Show crossed-out “regular” prices to emphasize savings

Badge Strategy

Use badges strategically:
Badge TextColorPsychologyConversion Impact
BEST VALUEGreenLogical choice+15-20%
MOST POPULARBlueSocial proof+10-15%
SAVE 50%RedUrgency/savings+20-25%
LIMITED TIMEOrangeScarcity+25-30%

Mobile Optimization

Plan Picker adapts perfectly to mobile: Vertical Stacking
  • Plans stack vertically on small screens
  • Full-width touch targets
  • Clear visual separation
Radio Button Selection
  • Native radio buttons for clarity
  • Single tap to select
  • Visual feedback on selection
Optimized Typography
  • Large price display
  • Readable feature lists
  • High contrast badges
On mobile, limit to 2-3 plans maximum. Too many options cause decision paralysis and reduce conversions.

Dynamic Pricing

Using Variables

Display dynamic prices based on user data:
Price text: "${{price}}/month"
Badge: "Save {{discount}}%"
Old price: "${{original-price}}"

Checkout Integration

Two checkout approaches: Integrated Checkout
  1. User selects plan in Plan Picker
  2. Navigates to page with Checkout element
  3. Checkout uses selected product automatically
Direct Links
  1. Each plan has checkout link
  2. Clicking plan goes directly to payment
  3. Faster but less flexible

Advanced Features

Conditional Plans

Show different plans based on user segments:
New users: Show trial offers
Existing users: Show upgrade options
Enterprise: Show custom pricing
Use conditional visibility on individual plans.

Feature Comparison

While Plan Picker shows basic features, combine with other elements for detailed comparison:
  1. Plan Picker for selection
  2. List element below for feature details
  3. FAQ element for questions

Trial Emphasis

For trial-focused funnels:
Plan 1: Start 7-Day Free Trial
Then $9.99/month

Plan 2: Start 7-Day Free Trial
Then $99/year (Save $20)

Stateful Behavior

Plan Picker is stateful - the selected plan is saved and accessible: Variable Access
Element ID: pricing-plans
Selected plan ID: annual-plan

{{pricing-plans}} = "annual-plan"
Use in Logic
  • Route to different success pages
  • Show plan-specific onboarding
  • Customize confirmation emails

Conversion Optimization

Reduce Friction

  • Single selection - Radio buttons, not checkboxes
  • Clear CTAs - “Start Free Trial” not “Submit”
  • Instant feedback - Visual selection confirmation
  • No surprises - Show total price including tax

Build Trust

  • Money-back guarantee - Below plans
  • Customer count - “Join 50,000+ users”
  • Security badges - Payment provider logos
  • Reviews - Star rating or testimonial

Create Urgency

  • Limited time offers - Countdown timer above
  • Spots remaining - “Only 10 left at this price”
  • Price increase notice - “Price goes up in 2 days”
  • Exclusive access - “Early bird pricing”
