Lightyear offers no permanent free tier, but a free trial is available for evaluation. Lightyear's paid plans start at £130/month (Starter) and are credit-based, covering 125–250 credits monthly with overage options. The Starter tier includes core AP automation, approvals workflow, accounting integrations, and supplier statement reconciliation. Lightyear's Business tier (£295/month) adds purchase orders, GRNs, automated 3-way matching, and inventory features — capabilities G2 reviewers in hospitality and multi-entity businesses specifically value. Lightyear's Enterprise tier (from £529/month) layers on a dedicated account manager and white labelling, targeting complex SMEs. The free trial allows teams to evaluate these capabilities before committing to a paid plan.
