Despite Price Hike: Why Xero Still Delivers Unmatched Value for Businesses
From 1 September 2025, Xero is raising prices on its Grow, Comprehensive, and Ultimate plans in the UK but the platform continues to evolve, delivering more powerful insights, innovation, and value than ever before especially for clients through our special discounts and services.
Price Increases: What’s New Starting 1 September 2025
These changes apply to both new and existing subscriptions and will appear on invoices from that date.
- Grow: from £33 → £37/mo (+£4)
- Comprehensive: from £47 → £50/mo (+£3)
- Ultimate: from £59 → £65/mo (+£6)
- Simple (£7/mo) and Ignite (£16/mo) remain unchanged.

- New advanced features, especially from the Syft acquisition are rolling out and elevating Xero’s capabilities well beyond basic accounting tools.
