What Kolleno costs in 2026
Kolleno publishes its pricing per user, but there is also a revenue ceiling for each plan. Entry-level pricing only goes up to £1 million turnover, so £650 starts looking a bit steep.
| Tier | Price | Revenue ceiling |
|---|---|---|
| Entry | £650/user/month | £1 million turnover |
| Higher tier | £1,245/user/month | £10 million turnover |
| Custom | Contact sales | £100 million turnover |
| (Another) Custom | Contact sales | £1 billion turnover |

There’s also no published free trial and you must have a demo before you start using the product.
All of these signs point towards enterprise:
- Mandatory sales process
- No free trial
- Entry pricing of £650/month
- Pricing covering up to £1 billion in turnover
Kolleno is generally focused on the upper end of the market and this may be one reason to look at alternatives.
Reasons to look for an alternative to Kolleno
Here are a few of the most common triggers to look at other credit control tools:
- £650/month is too expensive. This is probably the most straightforward one. The revenue limit on this plan is £1 million turnover and £650 a month is a lot for an SMB. There are cheaper options with less functionality available.
- You already have invoicing covered. Invoicing and reconciliation are useful if you don’t have them elsewhere, but if Xero or Stripe already covers that ground, it’s an extra feature you won’t use.
- You don’t need payment options. Kolleno’s cheapest tier comes with multiple payment options. Again, if you already use Stripe or GoCardless, this will add complications to the process.
- No self-serve trial. You can’t try Kolleno before you buy it. Getting a number, and getting hands-on with the product, both go through a sales conversation.
Three Kolleno alternatives in 2026
Here are the best-known Kolleno alternatives for collections in 2026, covering lighter tools and a differently-priced AR platform.
- Trove - £135/month: Best for UK SMBs
- Chaser - £199/month: Best for focused UK credit control
- Upflow - ~$440/month (unconfirmed): Best for AR analytics and scaling B2B/SaaS
1. Trove: best for UK SMBs
Pricing: £135/month, fixed, no per-user fees. 30-day free trial available.
Trove’s Integrated plan costs £135/month and covers the credit control tools most UK SMBs need: email automation, late fees, payment plans, plus integrations to Slack, MS Teams and you CRM. Finally, this plan also has unlimited users so teams can collaborate in one place with no additional cost.
2. Chaser: best for focused UK credit control
Pricing: From £199/month, published, by turnover band.
Chaser is a more focused UK credit control tool than Kolleno, built for chasing and escalating rather than running a broader finance stack. It doesn’t do invoicing or reconciliation, but it has a built-in route to debt collection that Kolleno doesn’t push. For the full breakdown, see Chaser pricing and alternatives.
3. Upflow: best for AR analytics and scaling B2B/SaaS
Pricing: Not published. Third-party sites put it at roughly $440/month by ARR band, with a free analytics-only tier.
Upflow is the other AR platform in this space, aimed at scaling and enterprise B2B companies, particularly tech. Its analytics are the strongest of the three, so it suits a team that wants to manage AR by the numbers rather than run invoicing and reconciliation in one place. For the full breakdown, see what Upflow costs and how it compares.
How they compare
| Name | Price | Pricing model | Free trial |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kolleno | £650/user/mo | Per user | Not published |
| Trove | £135/month | Fixed | 30 days |
| Chaser | £199/mo (to £899) | By turnover band | 10 days |
| Upflow | ~$440/mo (unconfirmed) | By ARR tier | Free tier (analytics only) |

Frequently asked questions
Does Kolleno have a free trial? No. Kolleno doesn’t publish a self-serve trial, so getting hands-on with the product means going through a demo first.
Why does Kolleno publish pricing but still ask me to talk to sales? The £650/user/month figure is a starting point, not a quote. The final number depends on company size and requirements, so you’ll still go through a call to confirm it.
What does Kolleno actually cost for a small team? At the entry tier, a team of two is around £1,300/month, four is around £2,600/month, and eight is around £5,200/month, all before any add-ons or customisation.
What’s the cheapest Kolleno alternative? Satago starts at £45/month and Trove at £50/month, both fixed rather than priced per user.
Trove is credit control software for small businesses. Fixed pricing, 30-day free trial, and connects to Xero in around five minutes.
