feat(upsell): add paid-plan CTA to the channels that had none#36
Merged
Conversation
Audit found the highest-volume channels never asked anyone to pay: axle-cli
(~88 downloads/mo), the netlify/cloudflare/vercel CI plugins, and the Chrome
extension all had ZERO upsell. People install, scan free forever, never see a
reason to upgrade — direct cause of $0 revenue despite real adoption.
Add a tasteful CTA at the moment of need (right after results, only when
violations were found / no AI fixes produced), pointing at the existing
/pricing → checkout path. Each channel tags its own utm_source so the
dashboard can attribute conversions.
- axle-cli: line after the pass/fail summary when issues remain unfixed.
- axle-{netlify,cloudflare,vercel}: shown when the build fails on violations
(netlify also appends it to the status panel text).
- axle-chrome: link under the popup results when violations are found.
Verified: node --check on all JS; tsc clean on axle-cli.

Upsell presence is necessary but not sufficient — with 1 external lead and a generous free tier, the free→paid boundary is the next lever. This plugs the most obvious leak first.
