Xero pricing: the quick answer

Quick answerHigh· Verified July 8, 2026

Xero runs $25 to $90 a month as of July 8, 2026, across three plans with no free tier. Early is $25/mo but caps you at 20 invoices and 5 bills a month, Growing is $55/mo with unlimited invoicing, and Established is $90/mo, adding multi-currency and project tracking. All three include unlimited users, Xero's standout: invite your whole team and accountant at no extra cost. New customers can take 90% off for the first six months instead of a free month. Watch the Early caps, since light users outgrow them fast.

Xero Hidden Costs & Pitfalls

What sits on top of the plan fee

Xero does not charge per seat, so the cost pressure comes from the entry plan's hard caps and a couple of things billed outside the subscription.

Early's invoice and bill caps
The $25 Early plan limits you to 20 invoices and 5 bills a month. Hit either ceiling and you are pushed to Growing at $55/mo, a $30 jump, purely to lift the caps. For a business that sends even a couple of invoices a week, Early is a short-lived tier, so many buyers should budget for Growing from the start.
$55/mo (Growing) once you outgrow caps
The 90% promo expires into full price
The signup offer takes 90% off for six months, so Early runs about $2.50/mo and Growing about $5.50/mo at first. Then they snap back to $25 and $55. On Growing that is roughly $297 saved over the promo window, but plan your budget around the full rate, because month seven is where people get surprised.
90% off 6 months, then list
Payroll and inventory sit outside the plan
Xero handles payroll through a separate Gusto subscription, so US payroll is an added monthly cost on top of your plan. Inventory Plus is a paid add-on for the Growing and Established tiers as well. If you need either, add those lines before comparing Xero to an all-in-one competitor.

Xero has no free tier and three paid plans: Early at $25/mo, Growing at $55/mo, and Established at $90/mo. The headline feature across all three is unlimited users, which genuinely sets it apart from per-seat competitors. The weak spot is the Early plan's caps of 20 invoices and 5 bills a month, low enough that many businesses treat Growing at $55 as the real entry point. It is a polished, widely integrated platform, and you pay accordingly once you move past the entry tier.

Cost drivers

  • 1Early is capped at 20 invoices and 5 bills a month; exceeding either forces a jump to Growing at $55/mo.
  • 2The 90% off signup promo lasts only six months, then plans renew at list price.
  • 3Payroll runs through a separate Gusto subscription, and Inventory Plus is a paid add-on on Growing and Established.

Strengths

  • Unlimited users on every plan, so team size never touches the bill.
  • An app marketplace with a large ecosystem of third-party integrations.
  • Free onboarding with a Xero Coach in the first 90 days.

Editor’s take

Sole traders can start on Early, but anyone sending more than a handful of invoices a month should plan for Growing at $55/mo where the caps disappear. The unlimited-user model makes Xero a strong fit for teams that would otherwise pay per seat. If you want a free starter tier for a very small operation, Wave is the cheaper way in.
