How to negotiate FreeAgent's price

FreeAgent does not advertise negotiated deals, so these levers come from how it charges, ranked by likely saving.

How to negotiate FreeAgent's price
Rank Lever How it works What it can save
[01]
Take the annual offer for year one
50% off a year is US$110, against US$198 for a first year paid monthly with 6 months at half price.
NZ$157 in the first year

Pay yearly after that
US$220 a year is 12 months for the price of 10, against US$264 paid monthly.
NZ$78 a year
[03]
Sign up with a referral code
A customer's code takes 10% off for as long as they stay, applied after the new customer offer. Year one annual drops from US$110 to US$99.
NZ$39 a year on annual billing
[04]
Apply for the charity discount
Registered charities can ask support for 50% off. It cannot run alongside the new customer offer, so it beats it after the first 6 months.

Refer other businesses
Each referred subscriber takes 10% off your own subscription while both stay, up to free at 10 referrals.
NZ$3.92 a month per referral

Smart Capture is free for 10 files a month; unlimited costs extra. Batch or type the rest.

Use the notice period on a price rise
FreeAgent gives at least 60 days' notice of a price change. Annual billing holds the current price to renewal.
