Where Zoho Meeting Wins
Dramatically Lower Cost
Zoho Meeting Pro costs $3/host/month versus Zoom Pro at $15.99. For a 10-host team that is a saving of over $1,500 per year with no reduction in quality.
Native CRM Integration
Every Zoho Meeting session links directly to your Zoho CRM contacts and deals. Schedule, join and log meetings without switching apps or copying links.
Webinars Included
Zoho Webinar hosts up to 10,000 attendees with registration pages, polls and recordings. Zoom charges $149 per month extra for comparable webinar features.
Privacy First
Zoho does not sell your data or show ads. EU data centres, GDPR compliance and end-to-end encryption are standard, not add-ons you have to configure.
Cloud Recording Included
All paid Zoho Meeting plans include cloud recording storage. With Zoom you quickly hit storage limits and face additional charges for more space.
Part of a Full Suite
As part of Zoho One, Zoho Meeting connects with Cliq, Calendar, CRM, Desk and 37 more apps, making it the only collaboration tool your team needs.
