The centre of a pricing table is an easy place to add a bright border. The harder work is deciding why that plan deserves attention and what the reader needs to compare before choosing it.

Establish a comparison rule
Give every option the same units. If one plan is priced monthly and another annually, show the commitment clearly. If one includes setup and another does not, make that difference visible in the same part of the comparison.
A highlighted plan should have an intelligible reason to be highlighted. “For teams running three active projects” is more useful than a decorative “best” badge. The reader can assess whether the recommendation fits their situation.
Check the mobile order
A three-column desktop table becomes a vertical sequence on a phone. The middle position disappears. Decide which information must remain visible as a person compares options across that sequence.
Repeat the essential distinctions where they are needed: audience, inclusions, limits and total commitment. Keep a route back to the comparison. A recommendation that works only when all three cards are visible at once is fragile.
Observe a choice
Ask someone unfamiliar with the offer to choose a plan for a specific example. Listen to what they compare and where they hesitate. If they choose the highlighted plan because they cannot understand the alternatives, that is different from choosing it because it fits.
Change the labels or grouping before increasing the visual emphasis. Then review the choice again. Position can help the reader notice something; it cannot supply the missing explanation of why they should want it.
