STEP 2 / 3
pricing or plans
No observations pinned to this step.
A Observed pricing or plan text
Observed: “0.50€ for the first 2 days; 29€/month monthly plan and 10€/month annual plan also observed”. Entry price, trial framing, and renewal price affect whether a user understands the ongoing cost before payment.
B Observed subscription or upgrade language
Observed: “29€/mois en mensuel Offre d’Essai 2 jours 0.50€ pour les 2 premiers jours puis 29€ par mois Modification & édition de PDF Partage de documents illimité Signature de PDF Compression de PDF Fusion de PDF Séparation de PDF Je choisis cette offre 10€/mois en annue”. Trial, subscription, premium, or upgrade language determines whether the flow can be understood before payment.
