The five walls
! Price wall
The free tier ends. The limit you hit while everything still looks free.
$12/mo standalone after a 30-day trial — but included free inside Xero Starter/Standard/Premium plans.

✓ Permission wall
You can see the setting but not touch it. Licenses and admin roles decide what you control.
Core capture-and-publish features are the product; staff access costs nothing extra.

! Gate wall
A human at the vendor decides your timeline — approvals, reviews, onboarding queues.
The bundle gate: Xero Cashbook and Ledger plans are excluded — those clients get billed separately.

! Meter wall
Cost scales with your success. Per-unit, per-seat, per-message pricing that grows as you do.
Per-organisation billing for practices managing multiple client orgs outside Xero plans.

! Exit wall
Getting out costs more than getting in. Your data, your domain, your number — who keeps them.
Documents push to Xero and live in Hubdoc’s store; leaving means exporting originals before the account closes.
