The Price Picker element helps you understand what users are willing to pay while creating commitment through choice. It’s perfect for paid trials, price testing, and gathering pricing insights before showing your actual offer.
Price Picker element configuration

When to Use

Strategic applications:
  • Paid trial selection - “Start your $1 trial”
  • Willingness-to-pay research - “What would you pay?”
  • Donation amounts - “Choose your contribution”
  • Service tiers - “Select your budget”
  • Price anchoring - Show range before real price
Price Picker differs from Plan Picker by focusing on single price points rather than full subscription plans. Use it when price is the primary differentiator.

Configuration

Required Field

Make selection mandatory:
  • Forces user to choose
  • Can’t proceed without selection
  • Increases commitment psychology

Price Options

Each price option includes: Custom ID Unique identifier for tracking:
  • Used in variables
  • Analytics tracking
  • Conditional logic
Price Text Display format:
"$1 trial"
"$4.99/week"
"$97 one-time"
"Pay what you want"
Badge (Optional) Highlight specific options:
  • “MOST POPULAR”
  • “BEST VALUE”
  • “LIMITED TIME”
Pre-select the middle option to leverage anchoring bias. Users tend to stick with defaults, especially in the middle of a range.

Pricing Psychology

The Goldilocks Effect

Three-option strategy:
$0.99 - Too cheap (seems low quality)
$2.99 - Just right (most will choose)
$4.99 - Too expensive (makes middle look good)

Anchoring Strategy

Start high to make real price seem reasonable:
"What would you pay for this?"
$197
$97
$47

Next page: "Great news! It's only $27!"

Commitment Escalation

Small commitment leads to larger:
Page 1: "$1 trial" (Price Picker)
Page 2: "After trial: $19/month"
Result: 50% higher trial-to-paid conversion

Common Patterns

Price Picker:
- $1 for 7 days
- $3 for 14 days
- $7 for 30 days

Most pick middle option
All convert at similar rates
Higher revenue from longer trials
