Is Zoho Meeting worth the price?
It is good value for small teams on Zoho apps that need a handful of hosts and modest meeting sizes, since you pay for hosts rather than every employee. It gets more expensive as hosts multiply or your participant tier rises toward 250. Buyers who want a public price list before talking to anyone will struggle, and those needing webinars must factor in the separate webinar product. Recording-heavy teams should budget for storage blocks.

- Small teams already on Zoho apps that want meetings and webinars from one vendor.
- Buyers who want per-host licensing with participant tiers instead of fixed plan caps.
Look elsewhere if
- Teams needing published prices to compare before talking to anyone.

Our verdict on Zoho Meeting
Zoho Meeting is a web meeting and webinar tool sold per host, not per attendee, with participant tiers from 10 to 250. Zoho's own blog post, originally from November 2022 and updated September 2023, gave a starting price of $1 per host per month for Standard billed annually. The current vendor pricing page shows no dollar amounts, so that figure may be outdated.
What drives the bill is meeting size, not headcount, which can be cheap for small groups: you pick a tier of 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200 or 250 participants for each host. Yearly billing saves more than 15%, and premium support costs 20% of the license fee. G2 shows 4.5 from 1,250 reviews. Webinars are a separate product, so price them separately if you run events.
