The pricing page with "12 sold today!" comes across as incredibly fake and possibly illegally so.

Also amusing to badge the Pro as "popular" when the "numbers" show it isn't.

Then there are weird choices like making AI transcription a selling point but with a limit of just 4 per month on the highest tier.

Yeah, fake testimonials and sales numbers are problematic both in the US and in the EU and can actually get fairly expensive. I would just leave this stuff off or be very prepared to back the claims. I think a problem is that a competitor (like slack or jira or whoever) might file a complaint.
