I'm sorry to hear the effect that not having a pricing page has had on you. Thanks for sharing your feedback.
A few thoughts:
1) Focusmate IS free to use 3 times per week. Most of our users are on the free plan. You can use it in perpetuity for free.
2) We don't have a pricing page yet because we started charging 29 days ago, and because we're shipping product incrementally. (We are a 3-person team with 1 engineer, FWIW.)
3) At this very nascent stage, there is value to being able to run pricing tests, which we can't do if we publish a pricing page. (The downside is we annoy some people, which is not a trivial downside. Knowing the negative effect on you is meaningful to us/me.)
The lack of a pricing page usually infuriates me, but you've articulated a pretty good reason (#3) for it to be missing under some specific circumstances. I'd not thought of that.
To be honest though, I usually just see it as a dark pattern and quickly back-button away from wherever I am.
At least you can make sure that the home page shows that it's only free for 3 sessions a week, then users have to pay, even if you can't/don't-want-to show the exact pricing.
