Reckon ends flat $1 promo, splits into tiered $2.40-$8.50 plans
What happened
Between the Oct 26, 2026 and Nov 2, 2026 captures of Reckon's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: Promo intro price rose from flat $1/month (all plans) to tiered: $2.40/mo Plus, $4.60/mo Premium, $8.50/mo Ultimate; 6-month savings cut from $138/$270/$504 to $129.60/$248.40/$459; Accounting Premium plan tagline changed from 'Perfect for larger businesses' to 'Perfect for growing businesses', differentiating it from the Ultimate Plan's unchanged 'larger businesses' tagline. Pulse files it as a pricing change (price increase, positioning) with an upward direction. The current page lists Payroll Essentials at AUD 176.64, Accounting Plus at AUD 264.96, Payroll Plus at AUD 353.28, Accounting Premium at AUD 507.84 and Payroll Premium at AUD 662.40.
It lands 28 days after Reckon's previous change, "Reckon extends One $1-for-6-months Spring Savings promo to October 31" (Oct 5, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Reckon: adds Australian-owned & Data hosted in Australia comparison rows" (Aug 10, 2026) and "Reckon: $1/month promo deadline extended to 31/08/26" (Aug 4, 2026).
