Zoom pricing in the US starts at $0: Workplace Basic is free, Pro costs $14.16 per user per month billed annually, and Business costs $18.33 billed annually. Billed monthly, Pro is $16.99 and Business $21.99; Enterprise is sold by quote. Basic ends every meeting at 40 minutes, while Pro, the plan Zoom labels Most popular, runs meetings for up to 30 hours.
I checked these US-dollar prices on Zoom’s own pages in November 2026. An annual rate is one upfront charge shown divided by 12, and taxes come on top.
Desk phones change the math. Pro Plus adds US and Canada calling for $20.50 per user per month billed annually, $6.34 more than Pro ($20.50 minus $14.16), while the $16 Phone-only plan keeps Basic’s 40-minute meeting cap.
Pro covers up to 99 users and 100 participants per meeting; Business is the step for 300 participants, single sign-on or more than 99 licenses. Webinars, ZoomMate and Large Meetings are billed on top of a paid base plan, while Phone can be bought on free Basic as US & CA Unlimited.

Zoom Workplace Plans Explained
Each Zoom Workplace plan lifts the limits of the plan below it, starting with Pro’s jump from 40-minute to 30-hour meetings. Whether Zoom’s meetings, chat and AI are good enough for your team is the subject of my Zoom Workplace review; this section only prices them.
Workplace Basic (free)
Workplace Basic is free for one license, with meetings of up to 40 minutes and 100 participants. It records to your computer only, allows 3 editable whiteboards and 5 two-minute clips, and caps AI at meeting summaries for 3 hosted meetings per month and 20 AI queries per month.
Basic is enough for a solo consultant whose calls end inside 40 minutes. Since it already seats 100 people, meeting length, not headcount, is the reason to pay.
Workplace Pro
Pro costs $14.16 per user per month billed annually or $16.99 billed monthly, and it raises the meeting limit to 30 hours. The participant cap stays at 100 per meeting, and one account holds 1 to 99 Pro licenses.
Each Pro license adds 10 GB of cloud recording storage, and AI note-taking and meeting summaries become unlimited, while whiteboards stay at 3. Live chat support needs subscriptions over $10.00 USD/month and live phone support over $200.00 USD/month, for Admin or Owner profiles with a Premier Support Package.
On annual billing a Pro seat is a $169.92 yearly commitment ($14.16 x 12). Two limits end Pro’s fit: the 101st person in a meeting and the 100th user on the account.
Pro Plus
Pro Plus is Workplace Pro with Phone US & CA Unlimited added, at $20.50 per user per month billed annually or $24 billed monthly. It keeps Pro’s 1 to 99 licenses, 100 participants and 10 GB of cloud storage per license, and adds unlimited domestic calling, a domestic phone number and 50 pages of online fax a month.
Of Zoom’s two bundles that pair 30-hour meetings with a business number, Pro Plus is the lower-priced one for a team under 100 people: $20.50 against $24.50 for Business Plus, per user per month billed annually.
Workplace Business
Business costs $18.33 per user per month billed annually or $21.99 billed monthly. The premium over Pro buys 300 participants per meeting instead of 100, single sign-on via SAML 2.0, custom branding for URLs, unlimited whiteboards and the Scheduler booking tool, and the license cap rises to 250.
For 25 users on annual billing, the Business premium ($18.33 against $14.16 for Pro) is $4.17 x 25 x 12 = $1,251.00 a year. That money is well spent only for meetings that pass 100 people, an IT team that requires single sign-on, or a 100th user.
Business Plus
Business Plus is Workplace Business with Phone US & CA Unlimited added: $24.50 per user per month billed annually or $29 billed monthly, $6.17 more than Business on annual billing ($24.50 minus $18.33). Over Pro Plus it adds 300 participants, unlimited online fax, 15 GB of cloud storage per license instead of 10 GB, SSO and managed domains, with 1 to 250 licenses.
Its button reads Contact Sales instead of Buy Now, which Pro Plus shows.
Workplace Enterprise
Enterprise is quote-only (“Contact us for pricing”), with no published per-user figure. It starts above 250 licenses and lists 500+ participants per meeting, unlimited cloud recording storage, Webinars 500 and customer-managed keys. Below 250 users, Business prices the same core meetings in public.
My take
I would start a small team on Pro: it removes the 40-minute cap for $14.16 per user per month on annual billing, and nothing in Business matters until a meeting passes 100 people, IT asks for single sign-on, or the team reaches 100 users. Pick a Plus bundle only when the team needs business phone numbers too.
Does Zoom Have a Free Plan or Trial?
Yes: Workplace Basic is a free plan, but it caps every meeting at 40 minutes, and Pro and Business come with Buy Now buttons rather than a free trial. To hold a meeting longer than 40 minutes, the host needs a paid plan, and Pro raises the limit to 30 hours.
Only the host needs that license. A participant joins for free and does not need a Zoom account, so a team where one person runs every client call can license that one person on Pro.
The trial sits on the Phone side: US & CA Unlimited (Phone added to Basic) has a Start free trial button, but its meetings still stop at 40 minutes.
Monthly vs Annual Zoom Pricing
Annual billing saves $2.83 per user per month on Pro ($16.99 minus $14.16) and $3.66 on Business ($21.99 minus $18.33), but Zoom takes the whole year as one upfront charge.
| Plan | Monthly billing | Annual billing | 12 months billed monthly | 12 months billed annually | Saving per user per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | $16.99 per month | $14.16 per month | $16.99 x 12 = $203.88 | $14.16 x 12 = $169.92 | $203.88 – $169.92 = $33.96 |
| Pro Plus | $24 per month | $20.50 per month | $24 x 12 = $288.00 | $20.50 x 12 = $246.00 | $288.00 – $246.00 = $42.00 |
| Business | $21.99 per month | $18.33 per month | $21.99 x 12 = $263.88 | $18.33 x 12 = $219.96 | $263.88 – $219.96 = $43.92 |
| Business Plus | $29 per month | $24.50 per month | $29 x 12 = $348.00 | $24.50 x 12 = $294.00 | $348.00 – $294.00 = $54.00 |
Sources: Zoom Workplace pricing and Zoom Phone plans, checked Nov 2026. All prices per user.
Ten Pro users billed monthly pay $339.60 more over a year ($2,038.80 – $1,699.20), a premium worth paying only while headcount is still moving.
Additional Zoom Costs: Phone, Rooms, Webinars and Add-Ons
The add-ons on the Workplace pricing page (ZoomMate, Large Meetings, cloud storage and the smaller Workplace add-ons) need a paid base plan. Phone is different: US & CA Unlimited is sold on free Basic at $16 per user per month billed annually, and Rooms and Webinars carry their own prices.
| Cost type | When it applies | Pricing basis | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phone US & CA Unlimited | Business calling without paid meetings | $16 per user per month, billed annually | $18 billed monthly; 40-minute meetings |
| Phone US & CA Metered | Light calling | $10.50 per user per month, billed annually | Available at checkout |
| Zoom Rooms | A shared conference room | $41.58 per room per month, billed annually | $49 billed monthly; hardware not included |
| Zoom Webinars | Webinars for up to 500 attendees | $83.33 per user per month billed annually, $129 billed monthly | Workplace Pro required |
| ZoomMate | AI agents, workflows and 2,200 AI credits per user per month | $16.67 per user per month billed annually, $20 billed monthly | Per user |
| Large Meetings | Meetings above a plan’s participant cap | From $50 for 500 participants per month, billed monthly | Needs a paid base plan |
| Cloud recording storage | Recordings beyond the included storage | From $10 for 30GB per month, billed monthly | Pro and Business include 10 GB per license |
| Taxes and fees | Depends on jurisdiction and exemption | Not included in list prices | Shown in the cart before checkout when charged |

Zoom Phone
Phone on its own is US & CA Unlimited, sold as Phone added to Workplace Basic, so its meetings stay at 40 minutes and 100 participants. A team that needs long meetings as well should set Pro Plus against it: Pro Plus costs $4.50 more per user per month on annual billing ($20.50 minus $16), and that difference buys 30-hour meetings, unlimited AI note-taking and 10 GB of cloud storage per license.
License caps narrow the choice for bigger phone teams. Metered, US & CA Unlimited and Pro Plus each stop at 99 licenses, so Business Plus is the only plan in this table above 99 licenses. Unlimited international calling to more than 15 countries and regions is a $10-a-month Phone add-on, billed monthly.
Zoom Rooms
A Zoom Room license does not include hardware, so on annual billing a room costs $498.96 a year ($41.58 x 12) before any display, camera or controller is bought. Each Room supports up to 3 displays and up to 1,000 meeting participants. Budget a room as two purchases: the license and the equipment, which the Rooms pricing page does not price.
Zoom Webinars and Zoom Events
For 500 attendees, Zoom Webinars costs $83.33 per user per month billed annually; Webinars Plus costs $290.83 and Zoom Events $415.83 on the same basis. Billed monthly, the three cost $129, $349 and $499. Each requires Workplace Pro, and the tiers scale to 100,000 attendees.
Monthly billing suits a one-off launch: three months of Webinars at $129 is $387 ($129 x 3), against $999.96 for a year billed annually ($83.33 x 12). If the audience needs to talk rather than watch, Large Meetings fits better: participants keep audio, video and screen sharing, while webinar attendees are mainly view-only.
ZoomMate, Large Meetings and cloud storage
Five ZoomMate users on annual billing pay $16.67 x 5 x 12 = $1,000.20 a year, more than Pro itself for the same five people ($14.16 x 5 x 12 = $849.60). Paid Workplace plans already include unlimited AI note-taking and meeting summaries, so ZoomMate is worth pricing only for its agents, workflows and AI credits.
Large Meetings grows a Pro or Business meeting past its 100 or 300 cap without a plan change. For 25 Pro users with an occasional 150-person meeting, Business adds ($18.33 – $14.16) x 25 = $104.25 a month on annual billing.
Large Meetings starts at $50 a month for 500 participants, billed monthly. Zoom does not say whether that covers one host or the whole account, so confirm it at checkout. Smaller Workplace add-ons, billed monthly, run from $5 a month for live translation to $120 a month for video management.
How Much Does Zoom Cost for Your Team?
A 10-user team pays $1,699.20 a year on Pro billed annually ($14.16 x 10 x 12) or $2,038.80 on Pro billed monthly ($16.99 x 10 x 12), and 25 users on Business billed annually pay $5,499.00 ($18.33 x 25 x 12).

The phone row shows how fast a bundle moves the bill: for ten users on annual billing, Pro Plus at $20.50 against Pro at $14.16 adds $6.34 x 10 x 12 = $760.80 a year. Add ZoomMate, Webinars or a Room only after the base plan is settled.
Which Zoom Plan Should You Choose?
Pick the plan by the first limit your team hits: meeting length, participant count, phones, single sign-on or license count.
| Your needs | Plan to consider | Why | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo calls that end within 40 minutes | Basic | Free, with 100 participants per meeting | Local recording only; AI summaries for 3 hosted meetings per month |
| Meetings over 40 minutes with up to 100 people | Pro | 30-hour meetings at $14.16 per user per month billed annually | 100 participants and 99 licenses |
| Meetings of 100 to 300 people, single sign-on, or 100 to 250 users | Business | 300 participants and SAML single sign-on | $18.33 per user per month billed annually, against $14.16 for Pro |
| Business phone numbers, meetings under 40 minutes | US & CA Unlimited | Phone at $16 per user per month billed annually | 40-minute meetings, 99 licenses |
| Business phone numbers and meetings over 40 minutes | Pro Plus or Business Plus | Phone US & CA Unlimited bundled with Workplace | Pro Plus stops at 99 licenses |
| More than 250 users | Enterprise | Licenses above 250 | No published price |
| Public webinars | Pro plus Zoom Webinars | Webinars require Workplace Pro | Webinars from $83.33 per user per month billed annually |

My take
Pick Pro if you are unsure, and pay monthly at first: $16.99 per user per month billed monthly keeps the commitment to one month while you learn which limit you hit. Switch to annual once the plan settles; it is worth it as soon as the team size stops changing.
Is Zoom Worth the Price?
Pro is worth $169.92 per seat a year on annual billing for a team whose meetings run past 40 minutes, since it lifts the limit to 30 hours, unless the team’s suite already includes the meetings it needs. Business earns its premium mainly through its caps and controls, and a team that needs neither 300 participants nor single sign-on gets little beyond the Scheduler, whiteboards and branding.
Skip paid Zoom if it would duplicate a suite the team already pays for. Before adding Zoom seats to a Google account, check what your Google Workspace pricing plan already covers for meetings.
A Microsoft 365 company faces the same question, and my Microsoft Teams review is the place to weigh it before paying twice for calls.
My take
Zoom is worth it when meetings are the team’s daily tool and they outgrow 40 minutes. Treat Webinars and Rooms as separate budgets, not upgrades: a year of Webinars billed annually costs more than five Pro licenses.
Zoom Billing, Discounts and Cancellation
Zoom’s list prices exclude applicable taxes and fees. Whether sales tax or VAT is charged depends on your jurisdiction, exemption status, Sold To address and the services bought, and any tax appears in the cart before checkout.
Verified nonprofit organizations get a 50% discount on Workplace Pro, Workplace Business, Webinars and Large Meetings through Zoom Cares, with no end date stated.
A subscription renews every month or year, depending on the term you choose, and you can cancel during the term to stop the auto-renewal. Zoom’s Terms of Service are in its trust center; read them before paying for a year upfront.
How I Verified Zoom Pricing
I checked Zoom’s pricing and product pages on November 7, 2026. They cover Workplace, Meetings, Phone, Rooms, Webinars and Events, and ZoomMate. The pricing region is the United States: every price is the US-dollar view a US visitor sees, and a copy served in another currency outside the US was not used.
Each price is quoted with its billing basis, monthly or annual. Totals are my calculations (price x users x months) from list prices, not quotes, and they exclude tax. Zoom does not publish Enterprise prices or multi-year prepaid prices. Plan picks and the value verdict are my judgment from those prices and limits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Zoom cost money after 40 minutes?
Not on Basic, which stays free and allows meetings of up to 40 minutes. Longer meetings need a paid plan for the host. Pro, Pro Plus, Business and Business Plus all run meetings for up to 30 hours, and Pro is the lowest-priced of the four.
How many people can use one Zoom license?
One license covers one host, who can run an unlimited number of meetings. If several people need to schedule their own separate meetings, each of them needs a license, so count schedulers, not attendees, when you size the order.
Can I pay for Zoom quarterly or for several years?
Yes, through sales. Quarterly billing is available in most cases, and prepaid packages come in 1, 2 and 3-year terms, priced by Zoom’s sales team. The prices Zoom publishes cover monthly and annual billing only.
Can I add Zoom Phone to the free plan?
Yes. US & CA Unlimited is Phone added to Workplace Basic. It includes domestic SMS and MMS in the United States and Canada after an extra registration, while meetings keep Basic’s 40-minute limit.
Final Pricing Verdict
Workplace Pro is the plan for most small teams. Ten users pay $14.16 x 10 x 12 = $1,699.20 a year on annual billing for 30-hour meetings with up to 100 participants; Business is the next step.
My pick
Buy Pro if your meetings run past 40 minutes and stay under 100 people. Move to Business when a meeting passes 100 participants, IT needs single sign-on or the team reaches 100 users. Add phones through Pro Plus or Business Plus only when the team needs business numbers and meetings over 40 minutes; for calls with short meetings, US & CA Unlimited costs $16 per user per month billed annually.
Skip paid Zoom if: every call ends inside 40 minutes, which Basic covers for free, or your suite already includes the meetings you need.
If you are still deciding whether Zoom should be your meeting tool at all, my ranking of the best video conferencing software sets it against the alternatives before you commit to a year.
