Managing your Subscriptions - Updated pricing plans

Managing your Subscriptions - Updated pricing plans

For some small businesses, the free version of Zoho Campaigns has all the features they require, such as creating and sending email campaigns and viewing reports. However, when your business starts to expand, upgrading your account to a paid plan brings many benefits and advanced features, such as automated email series and email polls.
 
This guide will introduce you to our subscription structure and help you review your subscription preferences.
 
Depending on your requirements, you can choose either a monthly or yearly subscription, and a professional- or standard plan. There is also pay as you go plan for users who send email campaigns occasionally or users whose market is active for a short span over a year .
 
Users who are creating an account after December 1, 2021 will get a trial period of 14 days. You can access all the features, add up to 2,000 contacts and send up to 6,000 emails in this period.
 
After 14 days, you'll be moved to the free plan, in which some features are restricted. If you want access to features, you can upgrade to any one of the following pricing plans:
 
Professional plan : This plan is based on the number of contacts in your account. Purchase the plan for a specific number of contacts and then send those contacts unlimited emails, set autoresponders, and use workflows.
 
Standard plan : This plan is also based on the number of contacts in your account. The major difference between this plan and the Professional plan is that some features like contact scoring, abandoned cart follow-up, and email limits are not available in this plan.
 
Visit our pricing page to learn more about the various plans.


Notes:
  1. Users who have email-based and subscriber-based accounts will continue in the same plan until they upgrade or downgrade their subscription plan.
  2. Users who are under the Free plan (older version) will continue to have access to all features they already can access until May 30, 2022.
  3. Free users of the older version have the option to switch to trial plan

You can access all the features, add upto 2000 contacts and send upto 6,000 emails in this period (if you've added less than 2,000 contacts, then you can send 6000 emails).
 
7. What is auto-billing?
When you try to import, sync, or add contacts more than the current subscription plan limit, we will move you to the next plan based on the contact count in the file. This change will be reflected in the next billing cycle. 
Note: This is not applicable for users in free or pay-as-you-use plans.
 
8. What if I do not want to auto upgrade my plan?
Before we auto-upgrade to complete a manual import of contacts, we will inform you the current state and let you choose if you want to auto-upgrade and proceed or if you want to skip the auto upgrade. You can choose to skip the auto upgrade. 
If you're importing contacts via API or any of the sync services, then you can check the potential number of contacts that are to be imported and your current contact limit before you start to import, to avoid the auto upgrade.
