Hidden Psychology Behind Redreach’s Pricing: Anchoring Effect

Redreach employs a textbook anchoring technique in their pricing structure. The company presents 2 options:

• 3 Day Pass: $19 one-time payment

• Monthly Subscription: $29 per month

The math speaks for itself:

• $19 = 3 days of access

• $29 = 30 days of access (10x more time for just $10 more)

This pricing structure creates an obvious value proposition. Customers gain ten times more service for only $10.

Streaming platforms, consumer apps, subscription services, and NSFW sites consistently price monthly offerings between $9-$10 per month to maximize market penetration. They know that even the brokest of the broke people can afford to pay $10.

The anchoring technique works because the $19 price point establishes a reference value in the customer's mind, making the $29 option seem like an exceptional deal by comparison.

New Tool in a Growing Market

According to Ahrefs, as of February 2025, Reddit ranks as the 5th most visited website worldwide with 810 million monthly visitors.

The timing of this tool aligns with Reddit's growth trajectory. And the $19 entry price-point allows anyone to try out the tool in a new growing market.

Psychology Behind the 3-day Pass

The 3-day pass serves multiple strategic purposes:

1. Low Barrier to Entry: The $19 option eliminates significant financial risk for first-time customers

2. Product Familiarization: Users get hands-on experience with the platform

3. Value Contrast: The limited duration makes the monthly subscription appear substantially more valuable

This cognitive bias ensures that most users will opt for the full subscription without feeling pressured. Instead, they feel empowered by their ability to make a logical, value-driven decision.

ChatGPT is sending customers to a massive company like Vercel. Its only ~5% now but the numbers will overtake once the world learns how to use AI.

This is the beginning of the end of Google.

Pure digital behavior like emails are horrendous when you want to get something from others.

You should jump on a video call or directly visit the place IRL. Things work out way faster.
