Zoho Social pricing starts at $15/month for a single brand — but most teams end up paying $65/month or more once they need approval workflows, a social inbox, or more than one user. This article breaks down all Zoho Social plans, what you actually get on each, where the costs stack up, and which teams should consider a different social media management tool entirely.
Zoho Social pricing covers four business plans — Free, Standard ($15/mo), Professional ($40/mo), and Premium ($65/mo) — plus separate agency tiers starting at $320/mo. Each plan is priced per brand, not per user, with add-on costs for extra brands and team members at $12/member/month on most plans.
| Plan | Price | Channels | Users | Free Trial |
| Free | $0 | 6 | 1 | — |
| Standard | $15/mo | 12 | 1 (+$12/user) | 15 days |
| Professional | $40/mo | 12 | 1 (+$12/user) | 15 days |
| Premium | $65/mo | 14 | 3 (+$12/user) | 15 days |
| Agency | $320/mo | 140 | 5 (+$12/user) | 15 days |
| Agency Plus | $460/mo | 280 | 5 (+$12/user) | 15 days |
There are four Zoho Social plans for businesses and two agency tiers. Here's what each one actually includes.

One brand, six channels, one team member. You get 5 AI credits and the zShare browser extension. Post scheduling and the content calendar are not included. Fine for testing — won't support a real social media content strategy.
Unlocks multi-channel publishing, a content calendar, image editing, user tagging, summary reports, and draft management. 40 AI credits, 12 channels, one team member. The minimum usable plan for consistent social media scheduling.
Add-ons: Extra brands $15/mo. Extra users $12/mo each.
Adds bulk scheduling, RSS feed, media library, repeat posting, monitoring dashboard, CustomQ, Instagram first comment, and direct Messages. Best value tier for solo marketers who need publishing depth without team features.
Add-ons: Extra brands $17/mo. Extra users $12/mo each.
The plan most growing teams actually need. You get SmartQ, a unified inbox, approval workflows, custom reports, UTM parameters, Zoho CRM and Desk integrations, and three team members included. It's the only plan with the inbox and approvals. If you're tracking social media metrics seriously, the custom reports make Premium hard to skip.
Add-ons: Extra brands $23/mo each.

10 brands (140 channels), 5 team members, white-label reporting, client invites, and a custom portal view. Agency Plus ($460/mo) extends to 20 brands. Most small agencies will find $320/month difficult to justify — see our roundup of social media management tools for agencies for leaner alternatives.
Extends Agency to 20 brands (280 channels) with the same 5 team members. All Agency features are included — the extra spend buys channel capacity, not new features. Additional brands can still be added at $92 per 5 brands/month.

The advertised Zoho Social cost assumes one user per plan. At Standard, adding two team members at $12 each brings your real bill to $39/month. At Professional, a 3-person team pays $64/month — nearly the same as just upgrading to Premium ($65/mo), where three users are included. For full context on what social media management costs at different team sizes, that guide is worth reading before you commit.
The social inbox and approval workflows are Premium-only features. Monitoring dashboard (keyword/mention tracking) is available from Professional — but reading sentiment across incoming messages requires the $65/month tier.
Zoho Social does not support Google Business Profile posting. If GBP is part of your channel mix, you'll need a separate tool. Turrboo includes GBP from the free plan — you can manage Google Business Profile posts alongside all your other accounts in one dashboard.
Zoho offers text-based AI credits but no image generation. The role of AI in social media has expanded fast — if you want AI-generated visuals without a separate Canva subscription, you need a scheduler that bundles it.
| Feature | Zoho Social Premium ($65/mo) | Turrboo Team ($59/mo) |

Turrboo Team delivers more channels, more AI credits, GBP support, and AI image generation for $6 less per month — all from a single queue when you post to multiple social media accounts.
The exception: teams running sales or support through Zoho CRM or Desk. Those integrations are a genuine advantage Turrboo doesn't match.
| Plan | Price | Channels | Users | Key Inclusions |
| Free | $0 | 2 | 1 | 30 posts/month, no AI, no credit card |
| Essentials | $29/mo | 7 | 1 | AI captions, AI image gen, hashtag generator |
| Team | $59/mo | 15 | 3 | Everything + inbox, approvals, sentiment analysis |
| Agency | $129/mo | 40 | 10 | All features, white label |
Annual billing saves 20% across all plans. Turrboo runs 8 platforms from one dashboard — Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, YouTube, Pinterest, and Google Business Profile — globally, no geo-restrictions.
Sentiment analysis applies to messages, comments, and replies on your connected accounts. It does not monitor web-wide brand mentions or third-party sites.
Zoho Social pricing plans in 2026 are structurally unchanged, but the competitive gap has widened. For Zoho ecosystem users — CRM, Desk, the whole stack — the Premium plan at $65/month is a coherent, well-integrated bundle. For everyone else, the calculus is harder. No GBP, no AI image gen, and agency pricing that starts at $320/month leaves real gaps that alternatives fill for less.
For teams prioritising AI features, multi-platform reach, or a tighter budget, it's worth exploring alternatives before committing to any Zoho Social plan.
Zoho Social is a solid tool for users already in the Zoho ecosystem. Standard ($15/mo) is one of the market's more affordable entry points. Premium ($65/mo) is the minimum for teams who need an inbox and approvals.
The gaps are real across all Zoho Social plans: no Google Business Profile, no AI image generation, and agency pricing that jumps to $320/month. If any of those gaps matter to your workflow, it's worth comparing before you commit.
What is Zoho Social's cheapest paid plan?
Standard at $15/month. It covers 1 brand, 12 channels, and 1 team member, with multi-channel publishing, a content calendar, and summary reports. The free plan exists but excludes the calendar and scheduling.
How much does Zoho Social cost for a team?
Three users are only included at Premium ($65/mo). On Standard and Professional, the Zoho Social cost for extra team members is $12/user/month. A 3-person Professional team pays $64/month — nearly identical to just upgrading to Premium.
Does Zoho Social support Google Business Profile?
No. Zoho Social does not support GBP posting. If it's part of your strategy, you'll need a different tool. Turrboo supports GBP from its free plan.
Does Zoho Social include AI image generation?
No. Zoho offers text AI credits only. Turrboo includes AI image generation from the Essentials plan ($29/month), alongside caption and hashtag generation.
Can you save with annual billing?
Yes. Zoho Social offers 33% off on annual billing — Standard drops to roughly $10/month, Professional to roughly $27/month. Turrboo offers 20% off all plans annually.

SocialPilot starts at $30/month — but bulk scheduling is locked behind the $100/mo tier, and per-user and per-account add-ons mean most teams pay more than the sticker price. This guide breaks down every plan, the real cost math, and what to check before you commit.

Sprout Social pricing starts at $79 per seat/month and scales up to enterprise-level plans with advanced analytics, reporting, and customer care tools. This guide breaks down every plan, add-on, and feature to help businesses choose the right setup in 2026.
