Difficulty finding software with transparent, fair pricing
🧭 workproduct problemSingle report ●●●●●
A software user reports frustration with recurring subscription price hikes, misleading retention tactics, and difficult cancellation processes across various personal and work applications.
What people do today
- Manual research of software pricing models
- Canceling subscriptions after price increases
- Seeking alternative open-source or one-time purchase software
🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A community-driven directory that verifies and badges software based on transparent pricing and cancellation policies
- A browser extension that alerts users to known 'dark patterns' or aggressive retention tactics on software checkout pages
- A standardized 'Fair Pricing' certification label that software companies can display to signal user-friendly billing practices
