How this log works

The programmes change what they publish, sometimes week to week. micro1 changed its tiers and its referral terms within a fortnight in October 2026. So every figure on these pages carries the date we checked it, and every change we find goes in this log, newest first, with the source page.

We check each programme's own site: never a press summary, a forum post or an AI answer. When a figure changes, we update every page that uses it and add a line here the same day.

What to do with a change

  • If you've already applied, what you agreed in writing is what counts, not the current published range.
  • If you're about to apply, check the programme's own page on the day. Published ranges are ranges, not offers.
  • If you refer companies, keep a copy of the referral terms as they stand on the day your company registers.

See the programmes comparison for every current figure side by side.
