Roast my landing page: SaaS for link previews on hover

Landing: https://linkz.ai

Our challenge: Everyone knows what is a link preview on Facebook/Slack. We offer 2 types of automatic link previews on hover:

  1. Smart link preview on hover that shows a linked page summary in a popup
  2. Immersive link previews on click, when visitors click the link, Linkz.ai extract an embed/iframe and displays it in an overlay within your website.

Our link previews are inherently different from what people think when they hear Link previews. Are we doing a good job of communicating the difference on the landing page?

    I agree with @ghoshbishakh, there are far too many plans to choose from. Differentiating between 4 of them by the number of websites it's deployed on plus is the number of previews it generates is too much cognitive overhead. And the difference between Blog and Website isn't really very compelling to select Website over Blog.

    Maybe you could collapse them all into one single paid plan with metered billing something along the lines of $5 per 15k previews per domain / month. Include the analytics and ability to turn off branding on the paid plan.

    Also, with the free plan, 2500 previews a month feels generous? Maybe its too high a threshold for most casual users to upgrade to a paid plan? Worth testing.

    Too many things are moving on the page. This is a core feature of many scam websites (your product is legit, but it's good to know so it doesn't set off any alarm bells).

    "How Linkz.ai works?" should not have a question mark. If you want to keep the question mark, it should be "how does linkz.ai work?"

    You color scheme is off. You have blue and red, but you also have mauve all over the place. I would cut down on the number of colors.

    Also, why is your domain name .ai if it has nothing to do with AI?

    Would love to keep track of this project though, but I don't see a twitter. Here's mine for reference: https://twitter.com/TheRealEtch

      Thanks for the good tips! Feels like too many moving things are an ongoing theme.

    It feels like too many things moving when I first entered the page. Add more delay to the chat widget and it could be better.

    Have you checked your CLS, cumulative layout shift

      Do you mean too much animation in the beginning?

      Google shows that CLS is low - 0.157

        Yeah too many animations at once, if its spaced out users have more time to process it. Looks good. I got a good sense of what your product does.

    Too many plans?

      Do you think it prevents people from signing up?
