SEA SaaS Tracker: 2026-09-03

Xero

• 2026-10-01: US subscription price increase takes effect. Early plan: $25/mo to $27/mo (+$2, +8%). Growing plan: $55/mo to $59/mo (+$4, +7%). Established plan: $90/mo to $97/mo (+$7, +8%).
• 2026-10-01: Multi-organization discount is removed for eligible subscriptions going forward. Existing discount and promo codes continue to apply through their expiration.
• Price-change notices went to customers and partners in late July 2026, roughly 60+ days ahead of the effective date.
• The new $97/mo Established-plan price converts to roughly THB 3,492 in Bangkok or PHP 5,626 in Manila at today's rates — relevant for SEA accounting firms billing US-entity clients on Xero USD plans.
• No new Shopee, TikTok Shop, VietQR, PromptPay, or GCash integration found for Xero in this window.

Notion

• 2026-05-13: Notion 3.5 introduced the Developer Platform (Workers, External Agents API, Notion CLI, Agent SDK, webhook triggers, Markdown API) — context for the billing change below, outside this cycle's 30-60 day window but required to read it correctly.
• 2026-08-11: The free period for Workers ended. Worker runs now draw down Notion credits instead of running at no charge; Notion CLI stays available on all plan tiers, but deploying and managing Workers remains limited to Business and Enterprise plans.
• 2026-08-14: Model picker shipped — a shortlist of models for harder tasks, each with a scorecard comparing speed, intelligence, and cost; users can pin favorites and set an effort level.
• 2026-08-19: Developer section added to the workspace sidebar (Settings > Developer > Enable developer features), consolidating Workers management, connections, personal access tokens, deployed-Worker logs, and a developer bar for copying page/database/block/workspace/user IDs.
• No pricing-tier change to Notion's core per-seat plans (Free, Plus, Business, Enterprise) found in this window; the credits change applies only to Workers usage.

Sleekflow

• 2026-10-01: Meta's WhatsApp Business API pricing changes take effect, altering the underlying message cost Sleekflow passes through to customers on the WhatsApp Business Platform.
• Service messages (free-form replies sent inside the 24-hour customer-service window) become billable for the first time; they had been free since late 2024.
• Utility-template messages lose their in-window fee exemption. Utility templates are now billed whether sent inside or outside the 24-hour customer-service window.
• Both message types are billed individually at a flat per-message rate with no volume discount.
• Impact is use-case dependent: accounts running mostly one-way broadcast campaigns see a small increase; accounts running high-volume support or sales conversations inside the service window see a larger increase — a Ho Chi Minh City retailer fielding several hundred WhatsApp support replies a day inside the service window will feel this more than a Jakarta brand doing weekly broadcast promos.
• No Sleekflow-specific pricing-tier change or new Shopee, TikTok Shop, VietQR, PromptPay, or GCash integration found in this window; this is a platform-level (Meta) messaging-fee change that flows through to every WhatsApp Business Platform provider, Sleekflow included.

Not confirmed this cycle

• No exact-dollar pricing-tier change found for Notion's core plans or for Sleekflow's own subscription tiers in this window; both pricing items above originate one level up (Notion Workers credits, Meta's platform-wide WhatsApp fees) rather than a per-seat list-price change.
• No new Shopee, TikTok Shop, VietQR, PromptPay, or GCash integration confirmed for Xero, Notion, or Sleekflow in this window.
