Is Zoho Vault worth the price?
Zoho Vault is good value for small teams that want to start free, and for companies already on Zoho, Microsoft or Okta that want a low per-user price. It gets awkward if you want a modern interface, since reviewers call it dated and say it has fewer features than top vendors. Teams that need SCIM provisioning will find it not named in what Zoho publishes.

- Small teams starting free.

Our verdict on Zoho Vault
Zoho Vault is one of the cheapest password managers for teams. It has a free plan with unlimited passwords and devices, then Standard, Professional and Enterprise tiers. Third-party sources list Standard at $0.90 per user per month billed annually ($1.00 monthly), Professional at $4.50 to $5 and Enterprise at $7.20 to $8. Zoho's own page does not show these amounts.
The catch is where the useful features sit. Shared folders, user groups and audit logs start at Professional, and SSO is Enterprise only. Professional and Enterprise are reported to have a 5-user minimum. For 20 users on Professional billed annually, the math is 20 x $4.50 x 12 = $1,080 per year. Annual billing saves 10%.
