Question
What is a good tripwire price?
Direct answer
Tripwires should be $1 for one-shot deliverables (a diagnostic, a one-page template, a single worksheet) and $7 to $27 for multi-day commitments (a workbook, a 5-day mini-course). Above $27 the offer isn't a tripwire anymore – it's a core offer that should be priced and positioned accordingly.

What is a good tripwire price?

Tripwires should be $1 for one-shot deliverables (a diagnostic, a one-page template, a single worksheet) and $7 to $27 for multi-day commitments (a workbook, a 5-day mini-course). Above $27 the offer isn't a tripwire anymore – it's a core offer that should be priced and positioned accordingly.

What's the nuance?

$1 tripwires have the lowest commitment friction and convert highest in absolute volume (5 to 15% of cold traffic).

What else should I know?

$7 to $27 tripwires filter in more committed buyers and upgrade to core offers at higher rates (15 to 30%).

What's the common mistake here?

Match the price to the unit of value being delivered. A $1 'complete funnel system' triggers trap-feel; a $1 'one-page diagnostic' converts cleanly.
