pocketty — landing page micro-audit

Format of the $19 BTC micro-audit: 3 prioritized fixes, before → after, plus 1 metric to watch.

What the page says today

“Your agents, in your pocket.”

“Free for 14 days, then $129 once.”

“get pocketty”

Fix 1 (highest impact) — Hero: say it is an SSH terminal

Before: “Your agents, in your pocket.” does not say what the app is; the description does: “An SSH terminal for iPhone and iPad”.

After:

“The SSH terminal for iPhone that pings you when an agent needs you.”

Fix 2 — CTA: lowercase label hides the trial

Before: “get pocketty” gives no hint of the free trial.

After:

“Try free for 14 days”.

Fix 3 — Offer: justify $129 once

Before: The price “$129 once” (and “$99 once”) appears without a comparison.

After:

Add “one payment, no subscription” and a line comparing it to a monthly terminal app.

Metric hypothesis

If Fix 1 + 2 ship, watch trial start rate on the hero button. for 2 weeks against the current page; hypothesis only, no data from pocketty.
