Found a fake number on our own pricing page. Ripped it out.

Doing a pre-launch audit of our own site turned up a badge on our pricing page reading "47 of 10 founding spots claimed." Ten is the actual cap. Someone (an earlier version of the page, built in a hurry) had wired it to a counter that started at 47 and ticked up every 30 to 60 seconds, so it would have kept climbing past 10 forever.

Pulled it out today. The badge on our featured plan now just says "Most popular," no invented number attached to it. It's a small thing, but a fake scarcity counter is exactly the kind of detail that makes a whole page feel untrustworthy once someone notices it, and someone always notices it. Better to catch it ourselves before launch than have a stranger catch it in a Product Hunt comment.
