What Zoho CRM has cost
We have read this pricing page 3 times since Aug 2026. Each figure below was pulled from the page itself, not from a summary of it.
- $20†Aug 2026 – Aug 2026 · Zoho CRMPlus · 2 readings · source
The entry plan changed name here, from Zoho CRMPlus to Standard. That is a different plan, so the two prices are not a rise or a cut.
$14†Sept 2026 · Standard · 1 reading · source
† The page showed this figure beside a monthly/annual switch and did not say which one it belonged to, so we publish the number without claiming a billing period. Readings like this are shown but never compared, which is why they never produce a price change.
Gaps are ours, not the vendor's: where a capture was unreadable, or the price could not be tied to a plan at all, no reading was recorded rather than a guess. See every price change we can stand behind.
