Optimize Your Zoho One Investment
Unused application licenses, duplicate subscriptions, and over-purchased user seats are draining your business suite budget. Most companies use less than 40% of available Zoho One applications.
Common Zoho One Cost Issues
Unused Application Licenses
Zoho One includes 40+ applications, but most companies only actively use 10-15 apps. Users are paying for unused applications they never access.
Duplicate Subscriptions
Different departments purchase separate Zoho One subscriptions or individual Zoho apps, leading to duplicate licensing and 40-50% higher total costs than a unified subscription.
Over-Purchased User Seats
Companies purchase Zoho One licenses for all employees, but many users only need access to 1-2 applications, making the full suite unnecessary.
Inactive User Accounts
Former employees and contractors retain Zoho One access long after leaving, consuming licenses and application quotas.

The Zoho One Application Waste

Additionally, duplicate subscriptions across departments can add 40-50% to total Zoho spend.
