SumUp drops Payments Plus 7-day free trial, pushes £3,000+ fee cuts
What happened
Between the Oct 5, 2026 and Oct 12, 2026 captures of SumUp's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Payments Plus no longer advertises a 7-day free trial; the card now only says to cut fees if you take £3,000 or more a month. Pulse files it as a packaging change (trial change).
It lands 35 days after SumUp's previous change, "SumUp switches to yearly-first pricing: £189/year, save 17%" (Sep 6, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "SumUp hikes POS Plus add-on price from £29 to £39 per month" (Aug 17, 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.
