TBH, I find it extremely hard to acquire customers. Even with a rock solid product that is NOT, in any way, below the competition. I get the visits but the signups are non existent. Probably because my audience is geared towards programmers and tech oriented businesses. I can do almost any project but marketing kills me.

You're showing me pricing in euros, which is a bit off putting (I'm in Australia). It wouldn't stop me if I knew your product already and knew I needed it, but as a "cold" visitor it's a small thing that stops it being an insta buy.

Same, from United States and not seeing dollars is a bit funky.

I wonder if there are opportunities for more call to actions. e.g. I scrolled the page and the only links to sign up are at the top (I’m on mobile).

Compare this to https://stripe.com/ and it’s super obvious how to “Start now” from anywhere on the page.
