Zoho Meeting review

Zoho Meeting suits small businesses that want a free plan with longer meetings than Webex and per host pricing. Zoho's pricing page lists a free plan with up to 100 participants per meeting and meetings of up to 60 minutes, plus screen sharing, whiteboard and moderator controls. Standard adds 5 GB of cloud recording storage per host, up to 2 co-hosts, meetings for up to 24 hours, polls and remote control. Professional adds breakout rooms, a custom domain, an embeddable meeting widget, API access and recording transcripts. Every paid plan is sold in participant tiers from 10 to 250. Zoho offers a 14-day trial with no credit card. The page showed euros from our location, so we left the USD price pending. We compared documented features and published prices rather than testing the app.
