Price Honestly: The Case Against Contact Sales for Pricing

November 3, 2026 Avvyd Solutions 2 min read

The fourth step in the Avvyd product philosophy is to price honestly. No hidden fees, no bait-and-switch, no contact sales for basic information. Our pricing is published, fair, and designed for the businesses we actually serve. In a software market full of pricing games, honest pricing is both a principle and, we think, a competitive advantage. Here is the case for it.

Why so many companies hide their prices

When a company makes you book a call to learn what its software costs, it is usually because the price is not fixed — it depends on how much the salesperson thinks your organization can pay. That model treats pricing as a negotiation to be won rather than information you deserve. It wastes your time and starts the relationship with a lack of candor.

What honest pricing means

Honest pricing means you can see exactly what our software costs, right on the website, before you talk to anyone. It means the price is the same whether you are a large organization or a solo professional. It means no core features held hostage behind a mystery enterprise tier, and no fees that appear only after you have committed.

  • Prices published openly — no call required to see them
  • The same fair price regardless of who you are
  • No essential features hidden behind opaque tiers
  • No surprise fees after you sign up

Pricing designed for the people we serve

We price for the businesses we actually build for, including small businesses and solo professionals who are too often expected to subsidize enterprise-scale pricing. A fair, published price aimed at real users is a statement about who a product is for. Ours is for the professional doing the work, not just the enterprise with a procurement budget.

Why honest pricing builds trust

How a company handles pricing is a preview of how it will treat you as a customer. Transparency here signals transparency everywhere. When you can see our prices plainly and trust that they are fair, you can extend that trust to the rest of the relationship. That is exactly the point.
