CheckMark loses NPW payroll deals, discount shrinks to 3 months
What happened
Between the Sep 14, 2026 and Sep 21, 2026 captures of CheckMark's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: National Payroll Week Sale expired: the hero promo (50% off 6 months on Online Payroll + code NPW2026, plus 10% off Desktop Software with free 2027 update) is gone, and the Business Edition pricing card discount reverted from 50% off for 6 months to the standard 50% off for 3 months. Pulse files it as a pricing change (discount change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Nov 2, 2026) lists Accountant Edition at $5 and Business Edition at $20.
It lands 7 days after CheckMark's previous change, "CheckMark Page1 extends 50% off to 6 months in National Payroll Week Sale" (Sep 14, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "CheckMark Page1: Accountant Edition lifetime discount raised to 30%" (Aug 11, 2026). CheckMark has been tracked since 2026-07-05.
In the same window Deputy, Gusto and BambooHR also changed their Finance & Accounting pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
