Premium Pricing Table is a pure CSS3 pricing table package sold on ThemeForest for $4. It provides a set of pre-built, responsive pricing grids that can be dropped into an existing website to display product tiers, subscription plans or service packages. It suits freelancers and small agencies who need a clean pricing layout quickly without building one from scratch, and it is aimed at projects already using Bootstrap or willing to adopt it.
The package is authored by a vendor trading under the ThemeForest marketplace, and the listing does not disclose a sales figure, so there is no meaningful purchase history to cite as social proof. What can be assessed is the contents of the download and how those contents fit into real projects.
What the Premium Pricing Table CSS package actually includes
The core of the download is a four-column responsive grid. Four columns is the practical ceiling for most pricing layouts, because a fifth tier rarely justifies the horizontal space it consumes on a laptop screen. The grid collapses on smaller viewports, which means the same markup serves a desktop monitor, a tablet in portrait and a phone without a separate mobile stylesheet.
Two base style versions ship in the package, one dark and one light. These are not colour variations of a single template but separate visual treatments, which matters if a project needs to sit on a dark hero section in one place and a white content area in another. On top of those, five colour themes are included, described by the vendor as “smart” colours. In practice this means the accent colour for buttons, highlights and borders is defined in a small number of places, so changing the palette across the whole table is a short edit rather than a hunt through the stylesheet.
Any column can be marked as featured. This is the standard technique of lifting one tier visually — usually with a different background, a taller card or a badge — so the middle or upper tier draws the eye first. The vendor does not prescribe which column to feature, so the choice stays with the site owner.
Animation is handled in two ways. CSS3 transitions cover the hover and state changes, and a jQuery sliding effect handles the movement between states. That combination is worth noting because it means the package is not entirely dependency-free: jQuery is required for the sliding behaviour. The listing also bundles Twitter Bootstrap 3.3.2 and Font Awesome 4.3.0.
Tooltips are included as a tagged feature, which is useful for pricing tables because plan limits often need a short explanation — what counts as a “project”, how storage is measured, whether support is included on the entry tier. A tooltip keeps that detail out of the main table without hiding it entirely.
Browser support is stated as consistent across modern browsers plus IE8 and above, along with smartphones and tablets. IE8 support is unusual in a CSS3-based product and is worth flagging: it implies the vendor has included fallbacks for older rendering engines, which matters for any project with a corporate or institutional audience still on legacy infrastructure.
Where a Premium Pricing Table CSS layout fits, and where it does not
The strongest fit is a SaaS or membership site with three or four subscription tiers that needs a pricing section live quickly. The same applies to a freelancer selling tiered service packages, an agency building a landing page for a client campaign, or a plugin or theme author who wants a pricing block on a product page. In each case the requirement is the same: a small number of comparable options, presented side by side, with one recommended.
A second good fit is a project that is already built on Bootstrap 3. Because the package ships with Bootstrap 3.3.2 and Font Awesome 4.3.0, the grid, buttons and icons will inherit styling the site already uses. That reduces the amount of CSS that has to be overridden to make the table look native.
There are situations where this is the wrong purchase. A site running Bootstrap 4 or 5 will find the bundled framework version out of step with the rest of the page, and the class names will not match. A project that has deliberately avoided jQuery — a modern static site, a headless front end, or anything built on a framework that treats jQuery as dead weight — would be adding a dependency purely for one slide animation. And a store with a single price, no tiers and no comparison to make does not need a pricing table at all; a plain call-to-action block is a better answer.
It is also worth being clear about scale. This is a $4 component, not a page builder. It renders a table. It does not connect to a payment processor, does not manage subscriptions, and does not generate pricing from a database. Anything dynamic has to be wired up separately.
Setting up the Premium Pricing Table CSS files
The realistic process is short. The download is unzipped, the stylesheet and script files are copied into the project, and the table markup is pasted into the page where the pricing section belongs. The vendor does not state whether a documentation file is included, so it is fair to assume that reading the markup and the stylesheet is part of the job.
Prerequisites are minimal but real. The page needs jQuery loaded for the sliding effect, and Font Awesome needs to be present if the bundled icons are used. If the project already runs Bootstrap 3, both are likely already in place. If not, they are two additional files to enqueue.
Customisation is where most of the time goes. Swapping the colour theme is quick. Adjusting the column count, changing the featured column, or rewriting the button styles to match an existing design system takes longer, because that means editing the stylesheet rather than toggling a setting. For a straightforward three-tier pricing section on a Bootstrap 3 site, an experienced front-end developer should expect to have it looking right within an hour or two. Matching it precisely to a bespoke design system could take considerably longer.
Strengths and limitations of this pricing table package
Strengths
- Genuinely responsive four-column grid that adapts across desktop, tablet and phone without separate markup.
- Two base styles plus five colour themes give a reasonable starting range without any editing.
- Featured column support built in, which is the single most useful pricing table behaviour.
- Bundled Bootstrap 3.3.2 and Font Awesome 4.3.0 mean the table inherits styling on sites already using those libraries.
- Tooltip support handles plan caveats without cluttering the table itself.
- IE8+ support is stated, which is rare for a CSS3 product and relevant to legacy corporate audiences.
- At $4 the cost is low enough that the decision is about time saved, not budget.
Limitations
- Bootstrap 3.3.2 is a dated framework version. On a Bootstrap 4 or 5 site the bundled CSS will conflict with the host theme rather than complement it.
- jQuery is required for the sliding animation, which is an unwanted dependency on modern JavaScript-light stacks.
- Font Awesome 4.3.0 uses the older icon naming convention, so icons will not match a site already on Font Awesome 5 or 6 without remapping.
- Customisation beyond colour and featured column means editing CSS directly. There is no settings panel.
- The listing does not state that documentation is included, and no sales figure is disclosed, so there is little evidence of how the package behaves in the wild.
- No dynamic pricing, no payment integration and no subscription logic — it is presentation only.
How this compares with other ways to build a pricing table
The alternatives fall into three groups. The first is a plugin or module inside a page builder, which offers a visual editor and stores the table as content rather than markup. That is easier for a non-developer to maintain but ties the pricing section to that builder. The second is hand-coding the table, which gives complete control and no dependencies but costs the development time this package is designed to save. The third is a broader UI kit or theme that happens to include pricing components alongside many other elements.
This package sits in a narrow place between those options. It is more opinionated than hand-coding but far lighter than a page builder plugin, and it is cheaper than a full UI kit if pricing tables are the only thing needed. The trade-off is that it brings Bootstrap 3 and jQuery with it. On a matching stack that is an advantage; on a modern stack it is friction. The decision comes down almost entirely to what the host site is already running.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Premium Pricing Table responsive on mobile devices?
Yes. The tables are built on a responsive four-column grid that adapts to smaller screens, and the vendor states the layout is consistent across smartphones and tablets as well as desktop browsers. The columns stack or compress rather than forcing horizontal scrolling, so the pricing section remains readable on a phone without a separate mobile template.
Does Premium Pricing Table require Bootstrap?
Bootstrap is bundled rather than strictly required, but the package ships with Bootstrap 3.3.2 and the markup follows its grid conventions. On a site already running Bootstrap 3 the table will inherit existing styles cleanly. On a site using Bootstrap 4 or 5, or no framework at all, the bundled CSS will need adjusting to avoid conflicts.
Can the featured column be changed to a different tier?
Yes. The package supports highlighting any column as the featured one, so the emphasis can sit on the entry tier, the middle tier or the top tier depending on what the business wants to push. Changing which column is featured is a markup or class change rather than a rebuild of the table.
Is jQuery needed for the Premium Pricing Table CSS animations?
jQuery is needed for the sliding effect specifically. The hover and transition animations are handled in CSS3 and work without it. A project that wants to avoid jQuery entirely would need to drop the slide behaviour or replace it with a CSS-only alternative, which the vendor does not provide.
Verdict on Premium Pricing Table
This is a sensible buy for a developer or agency building a pricing section on a site that already runs Bootstrap 3, where the bundled framework and icon library will slot in without friction and the four-column responsive grid covers the common case. The featured column support, tooltips and five colour themes mean most projects will need only light editing. It is a poor fit for anyone on Bootstrap 4 or 5, for projects avoiding jQuery, or for stores that need pricing pulled from a database or connected to a checkout. At $4 the risk is negligible, but the value depends entirely on whether the host stack matches what the package was built for.
