In June, Xero announced updates to its subscription plans and pricing structure, which include a price increase across all plans starting in September 2024. Additionally, Xero will discontinue its older plans, making way for new options.
The legacy plans (GST Cashbook, Starter, Standard, and Premium) are no longer available for purchase. Any new subscriptions or changes to existing ones (upgrades or downgrades) will now require a selection from the new plans listed below.
Migration Details
Xero has provided further information on the migration process and timing:
- Automatic Migration (February 2025): If your current plan includes the same or more features at the same price (after the September 2024 price increase), Xero will automatically migrate you to the new plan in February 2025.
- Price Increase Migration (September 2025): If you will face a price increase due to the new plans, Xero will migrate your subscription in September 2025.
This extended timeline gives us the opportunity to review your subscription and determine the best plan for your needs. We will also assess if any changes to your add-ons, such as payroll, are necessary.
Add-Ons and Usage Charges
For clients using add-ons such as payroll, projects, and expenses, you can continue to add or remove users until your plan is changed. Please note that additional usage charges will still apply based on the number of users.
Next Steps
Our AIT/Digital team is currently reviewing the proposed changes to determine if it would be beneficial for you to switch to a new plan before the migration. We will reach out to you with more information as your migration date approaches. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact our team.
