    The Basic Zoho phone system subscription targets businesses seeking key telephony features to improve their inbound and outbound call operations with call queues, IVR, call recording, and free calling minutes outside the standard Zoho call charges. 

    However, keep in mind that this Zoho VoIP plan may not be the most cost-effective option out there, especially when considering the comparatively low number of features when stacked up against other similar call center software providers.

    Basic features include:

    • Zoho Voice desktop app
    • Basic Zoho calling features 
    • 250 free outbound minutes per license/month
    • 1,000 free inbound minutes per license/month

    Zoho Voice Standard

    The second, Standard Zoho call center plan is essentially the same as the first, as far as features are concerned. This can be quite confusing, but the reason for the increased pricetag to $49 per user/month is due to the 10 “free” licenses that come with it.

    Naturally, the biggest downside of this plan is that it offers no benefits, beyond the additional seats, that depending on how many agents you onboard, aren’t actually all that free. Consequently, the comparatively low number of features still applies.

    Standard features include:

    • Everything from Basic
    • 10 free telephony agents/licenses
    • 250 free outbound minutes per license/month
    • 1,000 free inbound minutes per license/month

    Zoho Voice Contact Center

    The third and final Zoho Contact Center plan builds on top of the provider’s previous two plans with the addition of Call Monitoring, a Power Dialer, Queue Performance Metrics, and Advanced Noise Cancellation via the Krisp Zoho VoIP Integration.

    While the additional features, including the Zoho Power Dialer undoubtedly add value, the $74 price tag is definitely on the more expensive side, even when taking the 10 free telephony licenses into account. As such, some users may still feel disappointed.

    Contact Center features include:

    • Everything from Standard
    • Power Dialer
    • Call Monitoring
    • Queue Performance Metrics
    • Advanced Noise Cancellation

    Zoho Voice Add-Ons:

    Zoho Voice does not have too many add-ons on offer, with their optional purchases mainly consisting of advanced features for lower-tier plans. Nevertheless, let’s see what Zoho CRM Telephony has to offer. Add-ons include:

    • Power Dialer: $10 per user/month, for Basic and Standard
    • Call Monitoring: $10 per user/month, for Basic and Standard
    • Queue Performance Metrics: $10 per user/month, for Basic and Standard
    • Upgraded Telephony Agents: $15 per user/month, for Basic and Standard

    CloudTalk Vs. Zoho Voice: Key Takeaways

    Based on this Zoho Voice review and comparison against CloudTalk, we can draw several conclusions regarding the competitors’ pricing and features. These include:

    1. Pricing: Zoho Enterprise Telephony is more expensive than CloudTalk across all its plans. However, it does come with one extra day free trial and more features when directly comparing the providers’ cheapest pricing plans.
    2. Features: Despite all the Zoho Dialer Features, CloudTalk still delivers a more extensive suite of tools for users to use across their inbound and outbound call operations, making Zoho difficult to recommend.
    3. Integrations: The provider’s native Zoho CRM Telephony Integrations, including Desk, Recruit, and Bigin are certainly an incentive for users invested in Zoho’s ecosystem, but CloudTalk offers 4x more integrations with CRMs and Helpdesks (HubSpot, Salesforce, MS Dynamics, etc.).
    4. International Numbers: Zoho Voice offers personal, personal unlimited, local, and toll-free numbers, but no international numbers. In the meantime, CloudTalk gives users access to 160+ numbers to enter and grow in new markets.
