Frequently asked questions

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. SMS System is billed monthly with no minimum term and no cancellation fee. Cancel from inside your account and you keep access until the end of the paid period.

What counts as an active employee?

Any sponsored worker with an active record in your account during the billing month — anyone you're actively tracking for visa, CoS, right-to-work or reportable change purposes. Workers you archive (for example after they leave your employment) are not counted the following month.

Is there a free trial?

You can use the free eligibility tools (salary calculator, sponsor licence rating checker) without a card. Full compliance features unlock on the Starter plan at £39.99/month + £5 per active sponsored employee — cancel anytime.

Do you charge setup fees?

No. There are no setup fees, no per-feature unlocks and no charge for the bulk CoS import that gets your existing team into the system.

Can I switch between Starter and Pro?

Yes. Upgrade or downgrade at any time from your account. Changes take effect from the next billing period and your existing worker records and evidence stay in place.

How is VAT handled?

Prices are shown ex-VAT. UK VAT is added at the prevailing rate on your monthly invoice and included on your VAT invoice for reclaim.
