The Psychology Cocktail ingredients

Anchoring Bias role
Frames expectations around value and normalises upgrade decisions
Choice Architecture role
Structures options and layout to reduce friction and mental effort
Decoy Effect role
Nudges users toward the ideal plan by contrast with less appealing alternatives
These three biases work together to reduce decision paralysis, increase clarity, and make users feel confident in their choice without pushing them.

Flow design walkthrough

Let’s take a look at how the biases influence the design of each part of the flow.
Screen
1

Plan context framing

Set mental anchors and prepare users for decision

Heading

Sets an immediate mental frame for value, e.g. “Plans for every designer” or “Powerful features, simple pricing”. This reduces friction by establishing context and normalising the idea of upgrading.
Anchoring Bias

Subheadline

Hints at who each plan is best for (e.g. “Pro is ideal for freelancers and small teams”), helping the user orient themselves within the set of options before seeing pricing.
Choice Architecture

Toggle

Allowing the user to toggle between monthly and annual pricing reduces cognitive load and supports personalised decision-making. It gives control without overwhelming.
Choice Architecture

Plan cards grid

Present options and nudge toward best-fit plan

Plan layout

Laying out plans in a clear, scannable grid, ordered from lowest to highest or with the “Pro” plan in the centre. The visual structure helps reduce choice overload and subtly guides user focus.
Choice Architecture

“Most popular” badge

Subtly signalling social validation and setting a default mental anchor, even if the user hasn’t yet compared features.
Anchoring Bias

Decoy plan

Offering a weak “Basic” or high-priced “Enterprise” plan to make the “Pro” plan feel like the smart middle ground. Users are nudged to choose the better value by contrast.
Decoy Effect

3

Feature comparison

Clarify differences and reinforce plan value

Feature grouping

Organising features under thematic headings (e.g. Collaboration, Design & Prototyping). This reduces cognitive load and allows for faster comparison by outcome, not technical spec.
Choice Architecture

Highlighted difference

Visually clarifying the difference in availability or amount. This creates a clear anchor for value and simplifies what to look for.
Anchoring Bias

Tooltip or inline explanation

Embedding small explanations directly where ambiguity might exist (e.g. “Team permissions limited vs advanced”). Helps users understand differences without leaving the page.
Choice Architecture

4

Trust and conversion reinforcement

Build confidence and reduce hesitation before converting

Social proof

Placing company logos or testimonials near the pricing area, anchoring the idea that many others already trust the product. Especially if those brands are aspirational or familiar.
Anchoring Bias

FAQ section

Removing uncertainty through inline answers to common objections (e.g. “Can I upgrade later?”). This clears the mental path toward clicking the CTA.
Choice Architecture

Guarantee or reassurance

Positioning risk-reducing messages (e.g. “No commitment. Cancel anytime.”) near the CTA. This resets perceived risk right before conversion.
