    approx. £14.95 a month + VAT (checked 20 Oct 2026)

    or £9.95 per team member/month ex VAT if you have staff. Card fees extra if you take deposits.

New spend per month: approx. £14.95

Kit total, including what you already pay: approx. £14.95 a month

Prices are per month, as each vendor quotes them. Most are before VAT, and we've marked ‘+ VAT’ where the vendor says so. Card fees are extra wherever you take payments. ‘approx.’ means the figure was converted from dollars or euros, or taken from a guide rather than the vendor's own UK page, so check it before you buy. Prices checked on 20 Oct 2026.
