About Zoho Billing
Zoho Billing, formerly Zoho Subscriptions, handles both one-off and recurring billing for small and mid-sized businesses. The Standard plan covers quotes, invoices, expenses, projects and timesheets, while Premium adds subscription plans, proration, metered billing for usage-based pricing, hosted payment pages, a customer portal and dunning that retries failed payments and emails customers. It works with many payment gateways, handles multiple currencies and local tax rules, and connects closely with Zoho Books, Zoho CRM and the rest of the Zoho suite. An Enterprise edition targets higher volumes with revenue recognition and guided selling. Plans are priced per organisation per month, with a 14-day free trial and caps on yearly invoices and billed revenue on the lower plans. It runs in the browser with desktop and mobile apps, and appeals to companies already using Zoho.
Best for: Small SaaS and service businesses that want subscription billing inside the Zoho suite.
