Welcome to the world of Zoho One, a universe of elite-level business capabilities that just might catapult your enterprise to new heights of productivity and bliss. We’re stoked to guide you through what this massive bundle offers. Whether you’re looking to close deals, manage your company’s security policies, or get a better handle on your supply chain, there’s a Zoho application for the job in this collection.

Zoho One Pricing

Zoho offers two pricing models:

  1. Flexible-user pricing
  2. All employee pricing

Flexible-User Zoho One Pricing

With Zoho’s flexible user pricing, you pay more per user than with all employee pricing—but you don’t have to buy a Zoho One subscription for every employee in your organization.

For each Zoho One user, or “seat,” you pay $105 per month. If you opt to pay annually, you can save 14%, getting the per-month cost down to $90.

This is still a great deal, considering the many business applications included in Zoho One.

All Employee Zoho One Pricing

Zoho’s “All employee pricing” on the Zoho One bundle brings the cost down significantly per user. 

You get 40+ business apps for the breathtakingly low price of $45 per employee per month. $37 per month if paid annually. 

Have 150 employees? $6750 per month. 10 employees? $450 per month.

There is a catch, however.

This pricing is on a PER EMPLOYEE, not per user basis, and you’re required to pay for all employees in your organization. If you have 10 employees, you must pay for all 10 employees…even if you really only need 4 of them to have Zoho One seats.

If you think that’s not fair, then you’re welcome to avail yourself of their  flexible-user pricing, which is still an awesome value.
