Home / Run Operations & Workflows / Zoho Flow
Per-organization automation for the Zoho-centred business — unlimited users, from $25/month billed annually for 5,000 tasks.
The obvious automation layer if your business already runs on Zoho — the catch is that premium connectors sit on Professional, so one needed app can set your tier.

Zoho Flow starts free (100 tasks/month), with Standard at $25/month billed annually for 5,000 tasks per organization and unlimited users — and only action steps count against the allowance.
Your CRM, books or helpdesk already live in Zoho (or Zoho One, which includes Flow), and you want per-organization pricing with no seat maths.
Your stack is mostly non-Zoho apps needing premium connectors at low volume, or you need a catalogue the size of Zapier's.
Workflows are built only from verified capabilities in our listing research — no vendor copy, nothing invented.
Starts A deal is won in Zoho CRM
You get Won deals that invoice themselves
Native Zoho-to-Zoho flows are the platform's home ground
Starts A new lead arrives from a form or app

Decisions and delays do not consume tasks — only the actions do
Starts A schedule or an app event fires
You get Local data synced without exposing the database to the internet
On-prem integration at a $41/month tier is unusual in this category
Starts A flow execution fails on a transient error
You get Transient failures recovered without you noticing them
Error handling is a designed branch, not a log you discover later
Describe the job to Zia in plain English for a draft flow, or drag the trigger and actions onto the canvas yourself.
Map fields between steps, then add Decision, Delay or Set Variable logic — none of it consumes tasks.
Use the built-in test and debug tools and check the history view before the flow carries real orders.
Time to first useful result: An hour or two for a first real flow · no-code 4/5
Billed per task, per organization (unlimited users): a task is one successful execution of an action in a flow; triggers, decisions, delays and custom functions are free. Free: 100 tasks/month, 5 flows. Standard: from 5,000 tasks/month at $25/month billed annually ($29 billed monthly), with larger task volumes selectable up to 5M. Professional: from 10,000 tasks/month at $41/month billed annually ($49 billed monthly). Yearly billing saves over 15%; overage can be enabled so flows keep running past the allowance.

Only actions count — but a busy flow with several actions per run still multiplies: one trigger with two actions run 5,000 times is 10,000 tasks. Premium apps are gated to Professional, so one needed connector can force the tier jump.
Price record · 2026-11-07: Checked 2026-11-07 on zoho.com/flow/pricing.html, read directly this run: Monthly/Yearly toggle states (Yearly saves over 15%), Free 100 tasks/month and 5 flows, Standard from 5,000 tasks/month, Professional from 10,000 tasks/month, task definition, overage terms and the 15-day trial were all read on the page. The dollar figures do not extract as text from that JS-rendered page, so they stand as corroborated by Zoho's own official pages read this run: zoho.com comparison pages state Professional at $41/month per organization billed annually ($492/year), and Zoho's hosted plan-comparison document for the same pricing page gives the full US table — Billed Monthly US$29 Standard / US$49 Professional; Billed Annually US$25 / US$41. No price changed.

As of November 2026, Zoho Flow starts free (100 tasks a month, 5 flows), with Standard at $25/month billed annually ($29 monthly) for 5,000 tasks and Professional at $41/month billed annually ($49 monthly) for 10,000 tasks — priced per organization with unlimited users, which quietly removes the per-seat maths every rival makes you do. A task is one successfully executed action; triggers, decisions, delays and custom functions are not charged, so a branching flow costs what it does, not how it thinks. The builder is a drag-and-drop canvas with decision branches, delays, subflows, outgoing webhooks and an error branch, plus custom functions written in Deluge for the jobs the blocks cannot express. Professional adds premium apps, on-premise integration (including SQL databases and SAP apps via an on-prem agent), auto-rerun of failed executions and 5-minute polling against Standard's 15. Zoho's AI, Zia, can generate a flow from a plain-English description and adds summarise-and-generate text steps and agentic actions. The obvious fit is a business already on Zoho CRM, Books or Desk — Flow is also included in Zoho One — while a founder whose stack lives elsewhere gets a competent but less sprawling catalogue of 1,000-plus cloud and on-prem apps.
Solo Fit stays the public score: the qualitative roll-up of these four published inputs under the How We Rank method. Per-organization pricing and free logic steps carry it; the Professional gate on premium apps is the trade.
The difference: Zapier's catalogue is roughly nine times larger and priced per user on team plans; Zoho Flow prices per organization with unlimited users and wins inside a Zoho stack.
The difference: Make's canvas is more powerful for complex branching and starts cheaper, but counts every module including the trigger — Zoho counts only actions.
The difference: n8n offers a free self-hosted edition and bills whole runs as one execution; Zoho Flow is cloud-only but needs no server or maintenance.
Free covers 100 tasks a month and 5 flows. Standard starts at $25/month billed annually ($29 billed monthly) for 5,000 tasks, and Professional at $41/month billed annually ($49 billed monthly) for 10,000 tasks — both priced per organization with unlimited users, and larger task volumes are selectable on the same plans.
A task is one successful execution of an action in a flow: a flow with one trigger and two actions run once costs two tasks. Triggers, decisions, delays and custom functions do not count, which makes branching flows cheaper than their shape suggests.
If you enable overage, workflows keep running and extra tasks are charged at the end of the billing cycle — you only pay for what you use, and you can set a daily task limit. Without overage, flows pause at the allowance.
Yes — Flow is part of Zoho One at no additional cost, so existing Zoho One subscribers can start building flows immediately without a separate subscription. Standalone, the 15-day free trial covers all premium features.
