I came across this offer:
Xero is offering a 75% discount on all plan subscriptions for the first three months for new customers. This is a great opportunity for small business owners, freelancers, and anyone needing accounting software to manage their finances efficiently. The deal is valid for new customers only.
Key Points:
Discount: 75% off all plans
Duration: First 3 months
Eligibility: New customers only
Plans Available: Ignite, Grow, Comprehensive and Ultimate 10
Their raw material price is probably going up.
Completely agree, Xero is constantly increasing the price for existing members!
I probably wouldn't have as much of an issue with it if they were at least adding, expanding, or refining features… rather than constantly changing existing components just for the sake of change!

I only use the very basic stuffs but they keep increasing the price.
I saw the offer this morning when I was checking how many invoices and receipts I could do on the cheap plan for one of my other businesses.
But I wasn't about to post it here in the off chance it may entice some poor sucker into actually going with Xero!
Our small business currently uses MYOB Accountright at $177 per month, so can anyone who has used both tell me how does XERO compare?
Usually with these things the offerings tend to be pretty similar, but I thought I would gauge opinion of those in the know…
Personally I prefer AccountRight for ease of use / customizability but Xero is pretty good too.
Biggest thing to think about though is whether you can be bothered with the time spent switching and inevitable teething problems that will occur. Many of these problems will also likely cost you a bunch of extra accountants fees to iron out. Sad reality with these software's is that the cost of switching is quite high for people that aren't super familiar with accounting.
Also as other commenters have pointed out, at the current rate of price increases Xero will catch up to AccountRight soon enough.
Xero sucks. Negging deal because of the constant price increases.
In fact their sign up deals should be banned from ozb.
Xero are good at luring you in with these huge discounts on basic plans. Once you sign up, and the discount period ends, you realise you need to add 4 more modules, before you know it, the cost has tripled.
Bank of Melbourne business account offers 12 months of MYOB for the price of 1 month. We can use that and after 12 months, change to something else which is on offer.
Can not we churn business bank accounts to have these offers.. also, macquarie offers highest interest rate for business account at no charge..
we can keep that as main account and open as many other business accounts to have offers with these managing softwares? Anyone doing that?
Best of luck with 'churning' accounting software's. That's like choosing to sign up for an annual self-torture session
We need discount on existing customers, they keep increasing price every few months.
