Pricing Info on the Home Page

There is no mention of pricing structure on the main console page. Since this is an IBM service, people often expect it to be contract-based and/or enterprise-level cost. The fact that we have a free tier and support a PayGo model is great and we should display this more prominently. This is based on feedback from multiple users.

    There aren't any IBM computers here by any means, but the content is excellent, and I'll surely be back Life Coach

    Hello - accurate cost estimation for any offering will be integrated into the main IBM Cloud catalog in our next Q4 release. Currently we have a standalone pricing calculator UI: console.bluemix.net/pricing

    Yes, it looks like before anybody can get any information about the pricing he or she needs to setup an account first. This isn't very user friendly. Having free tier - is a must have and yes it should be displayed more prominently. This first things user does is to check the price any play with the product. Let's make it more user friendly.

    I see now you can info about the pricing without setting the account. It just hidden and not very visible on the first look. Yes, we should make it more visible.
