What this demonstrates
Each option names the format, price basis, and included outcome without relying on color or visual prominence alone.
Comparison structure
Each option is a self-contained article with a heading, price basis, and short description. The source order matches the visual order, so the comparison does not change meaning when the grid becomes a single column. The page does not need ARIA grid or table roles because people are reading choices rather than navigating a spreadsheet-like widget.
If the plans share many detailed features, a real table may provide a clearer comparison. Use column and row headers, keep the table usable at narrow widths, and repeat critical billing terms near the action. Do not force every product into cards when the task is comparing the same attributes.
Commercial integrity
Do not invent discounts, countdowns, “most popular” badges, or crossed-out prices. Recurring offers must state the billing interval and material renewal terms near the choice.
State whether a price is one-time, monthly, annual, per person, per location, or usage based. If tax is excluded or a minimum commitment applies, disclose it before the user commits. A “free” option should identify meaningful limits without hiding them in a tooltip.
Visual emphasis is not evidence that a plan is best for everyone. If one option is recommended, explain the objective criterion—for example, a team size or required feature—and ensure the recommendation remains understandable without color.
Accessibility notes
The source order matches the visual order. Each card starts with a heading, and information remains available without icons.
Buttons or links should name both the action and plan when several appear together, such as “Choose Live group.” Focus indicators need sufficient contrast against every card background. Price changes, validation messages, and checkout errors must be announced without moving focus unpredictably.
Responsive behavior
Let cards stack when the descriptions or prices no longer fit comfortably. Avoid shrinking text or hiding features on mobile. Keep billing qualifiers adjacent to their price, and do not use horizontal swiping as the only way to discover another plan.
At 200% zoom, each option should remain readable without overlapping its action. At 320 CSS pixels, the document should scroll vertically with no page-level horizontal bar.
Verification checklist
- Confirm every amount, billing interval, renewal term, and currency.
- Compare the DOM order with the visual order at each breakpoint.
- Test links and buttons using keyboard and screen-reader navigation.
- Remove claims that depend on fake urgency, popularity, or savings.
- Verify the handoff to checkout and truthful recovery from payment failures.
- Recheck the live page after any product or price configuration change.
Known limitation
This display is not checkout. A real purchase flow needs tax, cancellation, refund, billing, and entitlement requirements outside this example.
