Mercury Plus now offers 30-day free trial before billing begins
What happened
Between the Nov 4, 2026 and Nov 5, 2026 captures of Mercury's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Mercury Plus plan signup CTA changed from "Open account" to "Start 30-day free trial", introducing a 30-day free trial before billing begins. Pulse files it as a packaging change (trial change) with a neutral direction. The current page lists Mercury Plus at $29.90, Mercury Pro at $299 and Mercury Personal at $20.
It lands 10 days after Mercury's previous change, "Mercury adds Payroll add-on at $100/mo plus $50 per person, waived to 2026" (Oct 26, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Mercury adds Priority Support to Plus and Pro plans at no extra cost" (Oct 15, 2026), "Mercury drops $100 Amazon gift card from Plus and Pro Xero offer" (Oct 5, 2026) and "Mercury drops $100 Amazon gift card and free Xero perk from Plus and Pro" (Oct 2, 2026). Mercury has been tracked since 2026-05-12.
In the same window Stripe and Squarespace also changed their Finance & Accounting pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
