Xero graduates AI auto-reconcile from Beta to full release
What happened
Between the Aug 10, 2026 and Aug 17, 2026 captures of Xero's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: 'Auto-reconcile bank transactions' feature dropped its '(Beta)' label for Growing and Established plans, indicating the AI auto-reconcile capability graduated to general availability. Pulse files it as a product change (feature change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 5, 2026) lists Early at $27, Growing at $59 and Established at $97.
It lands 6 days after Xero's previous change, "Xero: Intro promo deepened to 90% off, extended to 6 months" (Aug 11, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Xero: announces subscription price increase effective Oct 1, 2026" (Aug 5, 2026), "Xero shrinks new-customer discount, hikes intro pricing to $5/$11/$18" (Jul 6, 2026) and "Xero boosts intro discount to 90% off, slashing promo prices for 6 months" (Jul 4, 2026). Xero has been tracked since 2024-10-01.
In the same window Sage, Zoho, Quickbooks, Freshbooks and Kashoo also changed their Finance & Accounting pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
