Summary — What Zoho Projects offers businesses

• Zoho Projects is a cloud project-management app for planning, tracking and delivering projects (Gantt charts, task lists, milestones, dependencies, timesheets, issue/bug tracking, automations/blueprints, templates, reports/dashboards, workload/resource views, portfolio/global reports). (Zoho.com)
• Strong integrations across the Zoho ecosystem (Invoice, CRM, WorkDrive, Analytics, Flow) and third‑party apps via marketplace/Zoho Flow. (Zoho.com)
• Built‑in time tracking + invoicing workflow, project templates, Scrum/Kanban support, and AI features (Zia insights/search/translate on higher tiers). (Zoho.com)

Pricing and plans (current public offerings)

• Free: up to 5 users, limited to 3 projects, 5 GB storage — useful for very small teams or pilots. (Zoho.com)
• Premium: adds unlimited projects, time tracking, project templates, blueprints, and more storage (listed as the mid tier). (Zoho.com)
• Enterprise: adds advanced admin/customization (custom fields/roles/profiles, SSO, inter‑project dependencies, global Gantt/resource utilization, portfolio/dashboard, critical path, baselines). Enterprise is typically the plan businesses choose for organization‑level control. Pricing examples on public pages and reviews show Enterprise at roughly $9–$10/user/month on annual billing (prices can vary with region, billing cadence, promotions). Confirm the exact per‑user price for your billing preference before purchasing. (Zoho.com)
• Projects Plus: a bundled offering (Projects + Sprints + Analytics + WorkDrive) available by contacting sales — good if you want unified Zoho project + agile + files + Analytics. (Zoho.com)

Who it’s best for

• Small-to‑mid sized businesses that want a feature-rich PM tool at a competitive price, especially if you already use (or plan to use) other Zoho apps. Good balance of traditional PM (Gantt, critical path, baselines) and agile tools (sprints, Kanban). (Zoho.com)

Pros

• Comprehensive feature set (planning, tracking, time/invoicing, automations). (Zoho.com)
• Affordable compared with many competitors; generous capabilities on business plans. (tech.co)
• Deep integration with Zoho suite and many third‑party apps. (Zoho.com)
• Regular updates and active product roadmap. (Zoho.com)

Possible cons / considerations

• Learning curve if you use advanced customization (blueprints, automation, custom roles). (Zoho.com)
• If you need enterprise‑grade user support or advanced compliance, review plan details (SSO, encryption, admin controls available on Enterprise). (Zoho.com)
• Compare storage limits and exact feature availability between Premium and Enterprise for your use case (some features like Zia Translate/Search and read‑only users are Enterprise‑only). (Zoho.com)

Quick recommendation / next steps

1. Start with the free tier or a 15‑day trial (no credit card required) to map one or two representative projects and test Gantt, timesheets, automations and integrations. (Zoho.com)
2. If you use multiple Zoho apps (Invoice, CRM, WorkDrive, Analytics), evaluate Projects Plus to see if the bundled pricing and integrated workflows are a better fit. (Zoho.com)
3. Before buying, confirm current per‑user pricing (monthly vs annual), storage, and any limits for your country/team size on Zoho’s pricing page or by contacting Zoho sales — public pages and third‑party reviews show typical Enterprise pricing around $9–$10/user/month but rates change with promotions and regions.

If you’d like, I can:

• Compare Zoho Projects side‑by‑side with 2–3 alternatives you’re considering (Asana, Monday, ClickUp, Teamwork, etc.) and highlight feature and price differences; or
• Create a short checklist/template you can use during a 15‑day trial to evaluate whether Zoho Projects fits your team (tasks to test, metrics to measure, integrations to try).

Which of those (comparison or evaluation checklist) would you prefer?
