Xero is online accounting software. Its US pricing page sells three plans (Early, Growing and Established) with unlimited users on every plan.

This page collects the dated list prices we could document for Xero, each with the source it came from. StackWatch has also recorded Xero’s own pricing page on 30 days since September 12, 2026.

Xero prices at a glance

The Early plan went from $11 (May 24, 2021) to $27 (as of Oct 11, 2026), a rise of 145%, or about 18% a year compounded. The Growing plan went from $30 (Feb 19, 2018) to $59 (as of Oct 11, 2026), a rise of 97%, or about 8.1% a year compounded. Across 6 increases where the source states both the old and the new price, the median step was 7.9% and the largest was 25% (Cashbook, Mar 4, 2024). The most recent documented change took effect October 1, 2026: Early $25 to $27, Established $90 to $97, Growing $55 to $59. We found documented increases in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026.

Early is compared from May 24, 2021 because Xero raised the plan’s monthly invoice limit from 5 to 20 in September 2020; Established is compared from Nov 1, 2018 because the plan was Premium until November 2018, when it was renamed, cut from $70 to $60 and bundled with Expenses and Projects. Earlier readings are in the history tables.

Percentages compare list prices only. What a plan includes (users, allowances, features) can change over time, and the earliest figures come from the sources named further down. “Latest price” is the vendor’s own pricing page as read on October 11, 2026 where the plan is still listed. Xero renamed its plans in November 2018 (Starter, Standard and Premium became Early, Growing and Established) and has changed plan allowances since, so these percentages compare list prices only.

Xero list prices over time

Documented Xero price changes

Newest first. “Before” is the old price when the source states it; ‡ marks a “before” figure that we worked out (see “How to read this page” below). A dash means we could not establish it.

Prices reported over time

Each row is a price a source reported on or around the date shown. “Change” compares with the previous reading of the same plan and billing basis; when the previous reading came from a different publisher it is labelled, because publishers can define a plan slightly differently.

Early (then called Starter)

Established (then called Premium)

Growing (then called Standard)

Plan and policy changes

Changes that matter for what you pay but do not come with a single price figure.

How to read this page

‡ The “before” figure is worked out, not stated: where the source states only the new price, the “before” figure is the previous verified price of the same plan and billing basis (less than 18 months earlier); where the source states the size of the increase (for example “increase by $1 per month to $13”) but not the old price, the “before” figure is the new price minus that increase, and an earlier step may exist that our records do not show. § The cited page does not name a country or currency, so we cannot confirm from that page that the price is in US dollars; we show it as reported. Dates are the vendor’s effective date where a source states one. “Announced” means the date of the announcement and “as reported” means the date of the article when no effective date is stated. Prices are US list prices in US dollars, excluding promotions, taxes and add-ons. “First-party” rows are StackWatch’s own reads of the vendor’s page.
