Incard plans: Free, Grow or Plus?

Most businesses should start on Incard's £0 Free plan. Grow and Plus pay higher cashback and bigger FX allowances, and only cover their fee above a certain level of spend. Here's where that level is.

By the editorial team. How we make money.

Start on Free unless your spend is high

  • Free costs £0 a month and already pays 1% on advertising, software and travel
  • Grow (£49 a month) adds 0.25 percentage points on those, so it needs high spend to pay off on cashback alone
  • Grow's £15,000 FX allowance can pay for it sooner if you exchange currency every month
  • You can upgrade later, once you know what your team actually spends

of advertising, software or travel spend before Grow's extra cashback covers its £49 fee.

£19,600 a month

The plans side by side

Table notes: correct as of 8 November 2026, from Incard's pricing page and fee schedules. Above the allowance, FX costs 0.6% in market hours (1% outside them). Plus costs from £169 a month billed yearly.

When a paid plan pays for itself

Table notes: eligible card spend a month at which the plan's extra cashback over Free covers its extra fee, rounded up to the nearest £100. Plus uses its 1.5% floor and its from-price. Simple arithmetic, not a forecast.

Cashback isn't the only route. If you exchange currency each month, Grow's £15,000 allowance against Free's £5,000 saves its fee once you exchange about £13,200 a month in market hours. Our FX cost calculator works it out for your volume, and the cashback calculator does the same for your spending mix.

Paid plans also add users, IBANs and API access, which these figures ignore. If you need those, a paid plan can be worth it below the breakeven.

When Incard isn't the answer

Incard isn't the right account if

  • Your business is registered outside the UK and Switzerland. EEA onboarding is paused until an expected restart in 2027
  • You're a charity, cooperative, foundation, trust or public body, or work in one of Incard's restricted industries
