Price Obfuscation

Price Obfuscation is a pricing strategy within the domain of consumer behavior and marketing economics that deliberately complicates or conceals the true cost of a product or service through ambiguous pricing structures, non-transparent fees, or complex discounting rules, thereby impeding consumers’ ability to make accurate price comparisons and informed purchasing decisions.
