On the Grow plan, that saves you $468 over six months. After that the plan renews at Xero’s standard price, currently $78 a month in Australia.
Tradiespace partners with Xero and may earn a referral fee when you sign up. This doesn’t change your price or the xero discount you receive.
If you see a different price, go back to Tradiespace and open the offer again.
Depending on which xero plans you choose, you’ll save between $222 and $3,000 over the first 6 months.

You’ll get all the features of whichever plan you choose for the full 6 months. It isn’t a limited version of Xero, although each plan has its own allowances. Before choosing make sure to have a look at how many people you need to pay, how much invoicing you do and whether you need extras such as project tracking.
Xero’s Australian business plans start at $37/month for Ignite and go up to $500/month for Ultra. Ultimate has several payroll tiers and all prices below are in AUD including GST. The Tradiespace prices apply to eligible new customers signing up through our partner link and cover the base subscription only.
Xero Ignite is the entry-level plan for sole traders and new businesses with basic accounting needs. It includes quotes, 20 invoices and entry of 5 bills per month, bank reconciliation, GST tracking, BAS lodgement, document capture, and payroll with automated superannuation for 1 person. You also get a 30-day cash flow forecast. The invoice limit applies to approving and sending invoices, so check whether the invoice and bill allowances suit your workload.
Xero Grow removes Ignite’s invoice and bill limits. It includes unlimited invoices, quotes and bills, payroll with automated superannuation for 2 people, expense and mileage claims for 1 user, and a 60-day cash flow forecast. Grow suits sole traders and small operations that regularly invoice customers and enter supplier bills.
Xero Comprehensive is designed for small businesses with a team. It includes everything in Grow plus payroll for up to 5 people, expense and mileage claims for 5 users, multicurrency support, and a 90-day cash flow forecast. It suits businesses paying 3 to 5 people or working in multiple currencies. Xero Projects is not included; you’ll need Ultimate or Ultra for built-in project time and cost tracking.
Xero Ultimate 10 includes payroll for 10 people, expenses and project tracking for 10 users each, and a 180-day cash flow forecast. It suits businesses that need to track project costs or manage a larger team. Larger payroll tiers include Ultimate 20 at $180/month, Ultimate 50 at $250/month and Ultimate 100 at $300/month. Choose the tier that covers how many people you pay.
Xero Ultra suits businesses that need more detailed reporting, including across multiple entities. It includes multicurrency, expenses and project tracking, plus Syft Advanced for consolidated reporting, forecasting and budgeting. You also get priority support and targeted data restoration. Payroll covers 10 people, then costs $2 per additional person per month, up to 200 people total.
Ignite works for a sole trader with light invoicing. It covers up to 20 invoices and five bills a month. Think about both sides of the job. A carpenter might only invoice four builders each month but have more than five supplier bills to enter. In that case, look at Grow.
Grow suits tradies who invoice per job. An electrician doing six call-outs a week could pass Ignite’s monthly invoice allowance on call-outs alone. Grow removes the invoice and bill limits, so a busy week doesn’t change how you do your books. Payroll for two people is included.
Comprehensive includes payroll for five people. For example a hair salon with four stylists and an apprentice can pay the whole team on this plan. It also covers expense and mileage claims for five users.
Ultimate 10 is worth a look if you want to cost jobs in Xero. It includes project time and cost tracking for up to ten users. A builder can use it to compare the hours and costs on a renovation with what they quoted. If you already do that in your job management software, check whether you need the same feature in both places.
Ultra suits businesses with several entities. Its consolidated reporting lets you see figures across up to five entities. If you own two restaurants that trade under separate companies, you can see how the venues are doing together. At $500 a month after the offer, it’s a substantial step up for a business keeping just one set of books.
ServiceM8, Fergus, Tradify, AroFlo and Simpro all connect with Xero. If you already raise invoices in one of them, check how those invoices come across before choosing a plan. Invoices created through a connected app can count towards Ignite’s limit, even if you never open Xero to write one yourself.
Yes, you’ll save about 2.5 times as much through Tradiespace making it the best xero promo code available. Xero’s own offer gives you 80% – 90% off for 3 months, while Tradiespace gives you 100% off for 6 months. To put that into dollars, someone choosing Grow would save $468 through us compared with $187.20 directly through Xero. On Ultra, the difference is $3,000 compared with $1,200.
The Tradiespace offer is for businesses that have never held a paid Xero subscription. If your business pays for Xero now, or paid for it in the past, it won’t qualify. Switching from MYOB or QuickBooks is fine if this will be your business’s first paid Xero subscription.
No. Tradiespace is built for trade businesses, but the Xero deal is also open to other eligible business owners in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Membership is free.
You can leave the code field blank. The discount comes through the Unlock My Deal Now link. If the base plan already shows $0 for six months, the offer has been applied.
Here’s a quick recap of the main starting xero subscription prices, including GST:
No. The trial and the six-month offer are separate. With the Tradiespace offer, you choose a subscription and enter payment details at sign-up. You can use the features included in that plan from the start. Xero offer terms
That was our previous offer. On 14 May 2026, Tradiespace increased the discount from 90% to 100% for six months. On Grow at today’s price, 90% off would still leave $7.80 a month to pay. The current offer covers the full $78 monthly base subscription.
Payroll is included up to the allowance for your plan. Additional payroll charges, paid add-ons and payment processing fees are separate. For example, if a customer pays an invoice by card, a processing fee can still apply during the six free months.
Xero bills you monthly at the standard price for your plan unless you cancel. If you choose Grow, that’s currently $78 a month including GST. If you’re thinking of cancelling, review the subscription before the end of month five. Xero requires one month’s notice and charges for the notice period. Xero cancellation terms
Since partnering with Xero in August 2024, we’ve seen more than 400+ business owners claim this offer. Most start on Grow, and six months at $0 gives them time to connect bank feeds, link their job management software and lodge a BAS before paying anything. If you’re moving off spreadsheets, it’s the easiest way to try Xero properly. Claim 100% off Xero Now
