Zoho Connect review
A broad intranet suite with a free entry tier and low-cost paid plans.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Zoho Connect is an employee communication and intranet platform for organizations that want internal publishing, employee profiles, collaboration spaces, knowledge resources, task management, and custom applications in one product. Its feature set covers company walls, announcements, feeds, forums, polls, directories, organizational charts, dashboards, manuals, files, tasks, workflows, and audience-based content targeting. Employees can access workplace information through web, iOS, and Android apps, while administrators can manage permissions, analytics, data export, APIs, and integrations.
Pricing is structured to support gradual expansion. The Free plan costs $0 and supports up to 5 users with a company wall, announcements, questions, polls, profiles, and a people directory. Starter costs $0.40 per user per month when billed annually and is designed for 25 users, adding groups, feeds, forums, manuals, task management, file sharing, and integrations. Enterprise costs $1 per user per month annually and starts at 10 users, adding page building, custom applications, advanced permissions, directory synchronization, and single sign-on. Ultimate costs $3 per user per month annually, starts at 10 users, and adds advanced dashboards, idea sharing, employee advocacy, dynamic memberships, and expanded administration.
Its breadth is the main reason to consider it. Zoho Connect combines communication, knowledge management, work tracking, custom forms, reports, workflows, and schedulers, with connections to Zoho Creator, Zoho Calendar, Zoho Projects, Zoho Meeting, Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft Teams, Trello, Asana, Zapier, and RSS. Teams wanting a low-cost intranet with room for structured workflows should consider it. Smaller groups may find the Free plan suitable, while organizations requiring advanced administration should budget for Enterprise or Ultimate.
