Two-minute setup. Free forever foundation. Enterprise-grade from day one. Turn meetings into a positive and rewarding experience
A plain-English breakdown of every Zoom Workplace plan, add-on and hidden cost, with the real yearly price for teams of each size.


Zoom pricing starts at $0 for Basic and runs to $18.33 per user per month for Business on annual billing, with Enterprise quoted custom. In early 2026 Zoom moved to four core plans: Basic, Pro, Business and Enterprise.
This guide breaks down every plan, the add-ons that quietly raise the bill, and the real yearly cost for a team your size.
Here is the shortcut most buyers miss. If you are upgrading mainly to record, transcribe or summarize meetings, you may not need a pricier Zoom tier at all.
An AI meeting assistant for Zoom like MeetGeek records, transcribes and summarizes your meetings on any Zoom plan, including the free one. It also captures Google Meet and Microsoft Teams, so you are never locked to one platform.
Zoom Workplace now has four meeting plans. Here is how they compare on annual billing.
| Basic | Pro | Business | Enterprise | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price (annual) | Free | $14.16/user/mo | $18.33/user/mo | Custom |
| Licenses | 1 | 1-99 | 1-250 | 250+ |
| Participants | 100 | 100 (up to 1,000 with Large Meeting) | 300 | 500+ (up to 1,000) |
| Meeting length | 40 min | 30 hours | 30 hours | 30 hours |
| Cloud storage | Local only | Local + 10 GB/license | Local + 10 GB/license | Local + unlimited |
| AI (My Notes / AI Companion) | Limited (3 note-taking uses, 3 summaries, 20 queries per month) | Unlimited AI note-taking | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Whiteboards | 3 | 3 | Unlimited | Unlimited |
Table last updated: July 16, 2026. Prices are per user per month on annual billing, in USD, checked against Zoom's own pricing pages (zoom.us/pricing) that day. Monthly billing costs more per user.
Zoom made two notable changes in 2026: it retired Business Plus as a standalone meeting plan, and lowered Pro to $14.16 and Business to $18.33 per user per month.
The number that hits your budget is the annual total, not the monthly sticker price. Here is what each plan works out to across a team, on annual billing.
| Team size | Best-fit plan | Cost per user/year | Team cost/year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 person | Pro | ~$170 | ~$170 |
| 5 people | Pro | ~$170 | ~$850 |
| 10 people | Business | ~$220 | ~$2,200 |
| 25 people | Business | ~$220 | ~$5,500 |
| 50 people | Business or Enterprise | ~$220+ | ~$11,000+ |
Table last updated: July 16, 2026. Based on Zoom's annual per-user prices ($14.16 Pro, $18.33 Business) checked at zoom.us/pricing that day. Add-ons and taxes are extra.
Those totals cover meetings only. Add Zoom Phone, Webinars, Rooms or extra storage and the real cost climbs, which is why the add-ons below matter more than most buyers expect.
A paid Zoom plan is worth it once meetings become a regular part of your week, mainly because it removes the 40-minute limit on free calls and lifts it to 30 hours.
Paid tiers also add cloud recording, unlimited AI notes, larger participant limits and admin controls. If you only need short, occasional calls, the free Basic plan is enough.
The free plan, best for occasional or personal use:
Best for light users who need short calls.
The entry paid plan, and the best value for freelancers and small teams. On top of Basic:
Best for small-to-medium teams that want longer meetings, cloud recording and AI notes.
Everything in Pro, built for growing teams that need admin control:
Best for teams of 10 or more that want branding and admin controls.
The top tier, quoted by Zoom's sales team:
Best for large or regulated organizations that need scale and support.
Zoom Business Plus is no longer a standalone meeting plan. It now lives in the Zoom Phone lineup, where Business Plus means Zoom Business bundled with a US and Canada Unlimited phone line for $24.50 per user per month on annual billing.
If you do not need a business phone system, plain Zoom Business at $18.33 is the plan you want.
Zoom's built-in AI only becomes unlimited on paid plans, and the free tier caps you at three AI notes a month. A dedicated meeting assistant is often cheaper, and it captures every call in full.
After each call, MeetGeek sends a summary with action items and highlights the key moments and decisions automatically. Everything lands in a searchable meeting library you can revisit by typing a keyword.

It also connects to Slack, Notion, Google Drive and 10,000+ other apps, so your notes flow into the tools you already use. Paid plans start at $9.99 per user per month.
Zoom Workplace is modular: you pay for the meeting plan, then layer on features. These are the add-ons buyers most often forget to budget for, on annual billing.
| Add-on | Starting price (annual) | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Zoom Phone (US & CA Unlimited) | $16/user/mo (or $10.50 metered) | Cloud business phone with unlimited domestic calling |
| Zoom Scheduler | $4.99/user/mo | Booking pages and automated scheduling (included with Business) |
| Zoom Whiteboard | $2.08/user/mo (Plus $5.83) | Unlimited collaborative whiteboards (included with Business) |
| Zoom Rooms | $41.58/room/mo | Turns meeting rooms into one-tap Zoom spaces (hardware extra) |
| Zoom Webinars | $83.33/mo for 500 attendees | Live broadcasts to an audience (requires Pro) |
| Zoom Webinars Plus | $290.83/mo for 500 attendees | Advanced production and on-demand video |
| Zoom Events | $415.83/mo for 500 attendees | Multi-session, multi-stage virtual and hybrid events |

Table last updated: July 16, 2026, based on the current Zoom Workplace lineup.
Most teams outgrow the free plan faster than they expect. If meetings are core to your work, even Pro makes a noticeable difference to how they run.
Zoom starts at $0 for Basic. Paid plans cost $14.16/user/month for Pro and $18.33/user/month for Business on annual billing, with Enterprise quoted custom. Monthly billing costs more.
If you rely on Zoom for regular meetings, classes or events, upgrading is usually worth it. The free plan handles quick calls, but the 40-minute limit and lack of cloud recording become restrictive fast.
Zoom moved Business Plus into its Zoom Phone lineup. It now means Zoom Business plus a US and Canada Unlimited phone line for $24.50/user/month on annual billing.
Yes. Zoom offers monthly billing, so you can subscribe without an annual commitment. Monthly rates are higher per user, and subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel.
