what Zoom actually costs in 2026

published list price

Pro $14.16/user/mo (annual) · Business $18.33/user/mo (annual)

unit: per user / monthhttps://zoom.us/pricingchecked 25 Aug 2026

many small companies already pay for Meet or Teams via their Workspace/365 bundle and pay for Zoom separately without realizing overlap.

what companies your size actually pay

We have read 2 Zoom invoices so far, which is fewer than the five we require before publishing a range. Until then this page shows published list pricing only, above.

the levers that work

  • annual billing is the rate shown; monthly billing runs meaningfully higher
  • Business tier is often bought only for a handful of admin/branding features; Pro covers most meeting needs for small teams
  • AI Companion features (summaries, note-taking) are usage-capped per plan, so no need to upgrade tiers just for AI

Across the audits we have run, roughly 25% of a small company's Zoom line is recoverable without changing provider.

A published price is not a quote. In a full audit we email the alternative as a disclosed agent for your company and get a real price for your exact usage — which is the number your incumbent actually responds to.

Drop last quarter's invoices. We name every line you are overpaying, with an annualized amount, free. The full audit is $299 once: it gets a real quote from the alternative for your exact usage and runs the renegotiation with your incumbent until there is an answer. If it does not identify at least $2,990/yr, we refund it in full.
