## Detailed breakdown of Zoho Inventory pricing plans

To make the best purchasing choice for your business, it’s important to fully understand the features offered at each pricing tier. Here is our detailed breakdown of Zoho Inventory’s Free plan and four paid tiers.

### Free plan

**Priced at:** Free

**Ideal for:** Solopreneurs with a limited inventory and low numbers of monthly sales.

**Free plan features:**[**\[2\]**](#footnotes)

-   **Invoicing:** On the Free plan, users can create up to 50 invoices per month to ensure they get paid for their goods. You can track the status of each invoice through your Zoho Inventory portal.
    
-   **Multicurrency customers:** This feature allows you to sell your goods globally by accepting payments in multiple currencies. 
-   **Third-party integrations:** You can integrate your tech stack with Zoho Inventory to improve functionality and expand on your business practices. Implementing integrations, such as accounting software and CRMs can be particularly beneficial for understanding and enhancing your business. Shopify is also a popular integration for Zoho Inventory.
    
-   **Inventory item images:** You can add up to 15 images per item, which will help you visually track your inventory. It may also make the process of creating sales pages for each of your products easier.
    
-   **Composite items:** Composite items are two or more inventory items that are paired together to create their own unique inventory item. For example, you may source flowery notebooks and ballpoint pens. These are two separate items. But you could add them together to create a journaling bundle—this then becomes a new composite inventory item.

### Standard plan

**Priced at:** $39 per organization, per month when billed monthly, or $29 per organization, per month when billed annually.

**Ideal for:** Small businesses that want basic customization and reporting options for their inventory portal.

**Standard plan features:**[**\[2\]**](#footnotes)

-   **Customer portal:** The addition of a customer portal provides clients with self-service to track shipments and payments, view past orders, and update their details. This helps improve customer relationships and relieves some administrative pressure from your team.
    
-   **Reorder levels:** You can set a minimum level of inventory units you want in stock at all times. When your inventory numbers for each item fall below this threshold, you’ll receive a reminder to restock that item.
    
-   **Custom views:** This feature allows you to customize how you view the data in your portal to reflect your business goals and inventory needs.
    
-   **Custom fields:** When selling online, you collect customer data, which helps you create client profiles to tailor your marketing efforts and provide a better customer experience in the future. With custom fields, you can choose which information you ask for, tailoring it to your business needs.

### Professional plan

**Priced at:** $99 per organization, per month when billed monthly, or $79 per organization, per month when billed annually.

**Ideal for:** Small-and-midsized-businesses that require advanced inventory tracking features.

**Professional plan features:**[**\[2\]**](#footnotes)

-   **Purchase approvals:** This feature allows supervisors to approve or reject purchase and transaction requests. Users create their requests through the Zoho Inventory system, and they are sent directly to the relevant manager for approval. This helps keep requests in one place and minimizes the risk of them going missing or getting lost in the shuffle.
    
-   **Batch number tracking:** You can group similar items together based on key elements like their type, expiration date, and purchase date. This will help you trace any potentially defective items and remove them from your inventory. It’s a handy feature for sellers with items that can expire, like food or cosmetics, helping you sell them in order and removing unsold items past their sell-by date. 
-   **Email alerts:** Receive automated email updates about sales, requests, restocks, and more to stay updated. This reduces time spent finding the information manually and improves business efficiency.
    
-   **Vendor portals:** You can create self-service vendor portals that let them track invoices, understand your stock needs, and quickly create inventory restock purchases.

### Premium plan

**Priced at:** $159 per organization, per month when billed monthly, or $129 per organization, per month when billed annually.

**Ideal for:** Medium and large companies that want to leverage automation in their daily inventory operations. 

**Premium plan features:**[**\[2\]**](#footnotes)

-   **Task automation:** To decrease users' administrative load, task automation works by setting workflow rules for new tasks based on user actions. For example, if a user sets up a new vendor stock request, a new task may be created to pay the invoice or stock the warehouse.
    
-   **Contextual chat:** This feature allows users to create chats within specific transactions to discuss them. You can add the relevant users to the chat to loop them into the conversation. By using in-app, transaction-specific chats, you reduce the risk of losing information in the middle of other conversations. It also allows other Zoho Inventory users to see what is being said about the transaction in case they need to take over ownership of it.
    
-   **Barcode generation:** Barcode generation makes tracking and stocking your inventory easier. This could be especially useful if you create your own products without barcodes.
    
-   **Unlimited webhooks:** Using webhooks, you can automate processes across different software. For example, when you make a sale, you can use a webhook to register that sale in your accounting software. This reduces your administrative tasks and helps boost productivity.
    
-   **Stock counting:** Zoho Inventory allows you to better understand your sales by setting up scheduled stock counts that you can assign to warehouse workers. They can either count by scanning barcodes or input the number of stock left directly into the system.

### Enterprise plan

**Priced at:** $299 per organization, per month when billed monthly, or $249 per organization, per month when billed annually.

**Ideal for:** Large businesses with extensive inventories that require a bespoke service.

**Enterprise features:**[**\[2\]**](#footnotes)

-   **Unlimited custom reports:** Custom reports help you understand how your stock is selling, helping you make better purchasing decisions in the future. You can also track the metrics that are most useful for your business to get the most out of your data.
    
-   **Multicurrency transactions for each vendor:** You can choose the currency that makes the most sense for each vendor on a transaction-by-transaction basis.
    
-   **Customizable dashboards:** By curating your dashboard, you can view the processes and metrics that are most important to each user’s workflow. This reduces time wasted searching for information.
    
-   **Shopify store integrations:** The Enterprise plan lets you monitor inventory for up to five different Shopify stores, which helps companies with multiple brands work from the same warehouse.
    
-   **5000 bins per location:** This feature helps you specify your inventory locations by providing exact locations (bins) within your warehouse. Companies with huge warehouses will benefit greatly from a high number of bins per location as it allows them to be granular about locating their stock.

## Total ownership of cost

To create an accurate picture of what running Zoho Inventory will cost you and how it fits your budget, you need to understand every potential cost of running your subscription. Most people only take upfront costs into account but there are many other factors that can quickly drive the cost of running your software up. While these may not all apply to your specific business needs, it is important to understand the various additional costs so you can budget accordingly.

### Upfront costs

The main upfront cost you can expect is your subscription fee. Whether you are paying monthly or annually, this base payment should remain consistent from month to month. The price you pay will reflect how many organizations and locations you have in your business that use Zoho Inventory.

### Additional costs to consider

Beyond your upfront subscription price, there are many additional costs you’ll need to consider.

-   **Add-ons:** Zoho Inventory has five core add-on services that users of any subscription tier can buy to boost the facilities of their plan. If you add any to your plan, you must factor it into your budget. Here’s a quick breakdown of their prices:
    
    -   Additional users (starting from $7.5 per organization, per month when billed annually)
        
    -   500 additional orders per month (starting from $7.5 per organization, per month when billed annually)
        
    -   Additional locations (starting from $10 per month when billed annually)
        
    -   50 advanced auto scans (starting from $8 per organization, per month when billed annually)
        
    -   Advanced warehousing (starting from $124.17 per organization, per month when billed annually)
        
    
-   **Custom automation:** Professional, Premium, and Enterprise plans all have customization tools to maximize your Zoho Inventory software. If you are unsure how to use these and want to hire someone to calibrate them for you, you’ll have to factor this into your budget.
    
-   **Third-party integrations:** Zoho Inventory has a number of built-in integration options, including software from the Zoho ecosystem, Shopify, Slack, and more. If you choose to use any of these integrations, you may need to pay for the third-party software if it has a subscription fee.
    
-   **Onboarding and training:** Users can access a two-hour free onboarding package called Jumpstart Lite. However, for the Plus version, offering 20 hours of onboarding, training, and data migration, you will have to pay $999 depending on your needs. You may also decide to hire a third-party expert to help with data migration or training for your team.
    

### Services needed to implement or manage the platform

Zoho Inventory has a robust resource library with plenty of help guides, blog posts, and free tools to help you make the most of your software. You can also access their classic support package free of charge, available during business hours, where you can email questions. Premium support plans connect you with a dedicated account manager who will help with onboarding and configuration, giving you bespoke solutions based on your business needs. You’ll need to pay extra for the Premium support plan.

As cloud-based software, Zoho Inventory handles all updates remotely, so you don’t need to worry about staying up-to-date. Updates are usually scheduled outside of business hours to avoid disrupting business services, and users are notified ahead of time.

The final service you need to consider is your technology infrastructure. Specifically, you need a strong internet connection to run the software and ensure it works with the operating system on your devices. You can contact Zoho Inventory support to make sure your devices and internet speed will work with the platform.

### Internal resources needed for ongoing platform management

The final part of your Zoho Inventory budget you must consider is which internal resources you’ll need to maintain it over time. Depending on your current staff structure, these may or may not apply to you. 

-   **Compliance officer:** If you deal with perishable or medical items, you’ll have stringent inventory regulations to abide by, such as adequate storage conditions, sell-by dates, and monitoring batches in case of issues. Having a compliance officer ensures employees are logging items correctly and replacing out-of-date items as required.
    
-   **Data analyst:** Zoho Inventory offers a wealth of data and reporting tools that can yield business-improving insights. To make the most of this, you need someone on your team who can analyze these reports appropriately and extract relevant actionable points that may result in a higher ROI for your business. 
-   **IT support:** While Zoho Inventory will manage its software remotely, you will need an IT support system in place to monitor device health and keep track of third-party software licensing that users may need to integrate into the platform. They may also be able to troubleshoot simple problems before needing to escalate to Zoho Inventory’s support team. 
-   **Training lead:** To ensure uniformity in your inventory process, having a training lead means everyone learns the same process for using the software. This is especially important for growing businesses that regularly train new users on the system. A training lead will also be in charge of learning how to use new features rolled out by Zoho Inventory and teaching the rest of the team.
    

## How to choose the right Zoho Inventory pricing plan

Choosing between four useful pricing plans can be difficult. It’s hard to anticipate which one will work best in your business. But there are key points to consider that can help you make your decision. 

_Key considerations while choosing the right Zoho Inventory plan_

-   **Assess your business needs.** Every business is unique, and yours is no different. So you need to get specific about your business growth goals and inventory needs. Do you own multiple brands? Do you have multiple warehouse locations? Is your storage location small or big? How many users will be interacting with the system? Are you planning to increase your inventory, users, locations, or orders in the next 12 months? These are just some of the important questions you need to ask yourself. If you’re not 100% sure, remember, that upgrading your plan is always easier than downgrading it.
    
-   **Compare features offered in each plan.** Each plan builds on the previous one to add additional features and boost the functionality of some already existing core features. For each plan, go through the full list of features on the Zoho Inventory website and evaluate if it would benefit your business or not. You may find that a cheaper tier with an add-on may be a better option for your company than subscribing to the more expensive options with features you won't use. Alternatively, you may find that you need features only available in the Premium or Enterprise tiers. If this is the case, you’ll need to decide if it’s worth the price or if you can compensate for the feature with other software in your tech stack.
    
-   **Consider your budget.** Whichever plan you choose, you need to be able to afford it. The bigger your budget, the more freedom you have when choosing your subscription. If your budget is a bit tighter, you can approach your decision in three ways. The first is to purchase the cheapest annual subscription you can afford and adjust your usage accordingly. The second is to opt for a monthly billing cycle that may be more affordable if you have varying monthly income and cannot commit to an annual subscription at this point, but want to use a higher subscription tier. The final option is to explore alternative software that better works with your budget.
    

## How to maximize the value of your Zoho Inventory subscription

We’ve compiled a list of our best tips to help you maximize the value you get from your Zoho Inventory subscription:

_Ways to maximize the value of your Zoho Inventory subscription_

-   **Utilize all features:** It seems obvious, but there’s always one or two features that don’t have an obvious place in your business and you may end up ignoring and not using them. But with some creative planning and out-of-the-box thinking, you can leverage every feature your subscription plan offers to make the most of it. For inspiration, you can check out case studies from other businesses in your industry, ask for tips on message boards, and check out Zoho Inventory’s blogs. You might find some useful YouTube tutorials from existing users, too. If you have a Premium support plan or have hired an external expert, they can also help you fit every feature into your workflow. 
-   **Leverage customer support and resources.** In addition to the tips above, you can use the free email support and resource library to ensure your team understands the software well. 
-   **Follow additional tips to get the most out of your plan.**
    
    -   **Make use of data analysis findings.** Have someone on your team ready to create an action plan for any data findings you have.
        
    -   **Conduct regular training.** Zoho Inventory releases new features and updates existing features that can enhance your workflow. By conducting regular training sessions, you’ll be able to extract the maximum potential of your subscription plan.
        
    -   **Ask for team feedback.** The people using the software daily have the best idea of what works and doesn’t work for your business. Their feedback can inform future software decisions, influence training ideas, and reveal innovative ways to use existing features that maximize efficiency. Feedback can also be relayed back to Zoho Inventory which may decide to implement it into future updates, benefiting your business.
        
    -   **Choose your tech stack wisely.** Be mindful of the features offered across the software in your tech stack. Any overlapping features reduce the value you’re getting as you’re only likely to use it on one platform. If you do have dual features, consider downgrading your software or getting rid of it altogether.
        
    -   **Experiment with features and workflows.** The best way to discover the software's untapped potential for your business is to simply experiment with it. Where possible, set up a separate location that won’t affect your current inventory settings and play around with features.

May 23, 2024

Marius M.DirectorRetailLess than 6 months

All of that for a price, that is reasonable and cheap compared to alternatives.

January 4, 2024

Sergio T.Marketing consultant EntertainmentLess than 6 months

It sometimes feels a bit clunky to use and doesn’t quite reach the budget mark as well as I would have expected from a Zoho product - especially given the features portfolio it offers compared to competitors.

January 5, 2023

Ryan M.Procurement Hospital & Health Care1-2 years

It is worth the cost because this helps prevent any inventory shortages and lost orders because of a lack of inventory.
