SumUp switches to yearly-first pricing: £189/year, save 17%
What happened
Between the Aug 31, 2026 and Sep 7, 2026 captures of SumUp's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Added a Monthly/Yearly billing toggle to the pricing page, now defaulting to Yearly: the Payments Plus card displays £189/year with a 'Save 17%' badge in place of the £19/month rate, which now sits behind the Monthly tab. Pulse files it as a packaging change (package change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 28, 2026) lists Payments Plus at GBP 15.75, POS Plus at GBP 39, Business Account Plus at GBP 15 and Invoices Plus at GBP 8.
It lands 21 days after SumUp's previous change, "SumUp hikes POS Plus add-on price from £29 to £39 per month" (Aug 17, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "SumUp runs 32% off hardware sale on pricing page" (Jun 22, 2026) and "SumUp revamps plan perks with Mastercard and dedicated managers" (Jun 18, 2026). SumUp has been tracked since 2026-05-16.
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.
