What Zoho Cliq costs
- 10 users: $18/mo (Standard $18/month flat for up to 25 users. Toolradar's $1.80/user x 10 also gives $18. Professional would be 10 x $2 = $20 and Enterprise 10 x $4 = $40. Free does not qualify (10,000-message search cap).)
- 50 users: $100/mo (Standard is limited to 25 users, so Professional: 50 x $2/user = $100/month (Enterprise would be 50 x $4 = $200). Toolradar lists Professional at $3/user, which would give $150.)
- 25 users + SSO: $18/mo (Standard $18/month flat for up to 25 users, if its SSO qualifies. The vendor comparison table shows 'Single SSO sign-on & Google sign-on' as included on all plans, but SAML or OIDC is not named, so this point is unverified.)
Plan compared: Standard plan: $18/month flat for up to 25 users, monthly billing. Prices are total USD per month on monthly billing (annual-only plans divided by 12) for the cheapest plan that runs a team's chat with full, unlimited searchable message history: 10 or 50 members, and 25 members signing in through SAML single sign-on. A free plan counts as $0 only when it covers the team with no message-history, member or storage cap it would hit.
