‍What is Zoom Pro?

Zoom Pro is part of Zoom Workplace and gives you more than the free plan. You get longer meetings, added cloud storage, and AI tools that support daily work. It’s a simple upgrade for anyone who needs advanced features.

Here’s what Zoom Pro includes:

• Up to 30 hours per Zoom meeting
• AI Companion for help with note-taking and questions during calls
• Zoom Docs for turning ideas into organized pages, wikis, and projects
• 10 GB of cloud recording storage per license
• Clips Plus for unlimited short video messages
• Team chat
• Essential Apps for one year
• All basic features included in the free plan

These upgrades make Zoom Pro a practical step up from Zoom Basic when you want more control and enhanced tools inside your video conferencing software.

How Much Does Zoom Pro Cost?

Zoom Pro offers two pricing options depending on your preferred payment method.

Current pricing (excluding VAT):

• $13.33 per user per month when billed annually
• $16.99 per user per month when billed monthly

The annual plan gives you the lowest monthly rate, making it the more cost-effective choice if you plan to stay on Zoom’s paid plans long term.

Zoom Pro is positioned for personal use and small teams that need more flexibility than the free plan. It also sits below the Business and Business Plus plans, which are designed for larger groups that need higher participant limits and extra collaboration features.

Note: Zoom pricing can vary depending on your region, taxes, and currency. Always double-check the latest price on Zoom’s official site before upgrading.

Additional costs for Zoom add-ons

Zoom Pro works well on its own, but some teams need more capacity, storage, or language support. These are the add-ons people use most:

• Large Meeting - from $600 per year
• Expand your room size to accommodate more than 100 participants. Depending on the tier you choose, you can increase capacity all the way up to 5,000 participants. If you’re also looking for communities to join, explore our guide on how to find public Zoom meetings and communities.
• Cloud Storage - from $120 per year
• Add more space when 10 GB isn’t enough. Zoom doesn’t offer unlimited cloud storage, but it does offer storage options ranging from 30 GB up to 5 TB. If you often save or organize your recordings, you may also find our Zoom video downloader guide helpful.
• Translated Captions - $50 per year
• Add automatic translated captions in multiple languages to support global calls and multilingual teams.
• Audio Conferencing - from $1,200 per year
• Provide participants with the option to join Zoom meetings through international dial-in numbers when internet access is limited.
• Custom AI Companion - $144 per year
• Build personalized AI skills that speed up tasks like drafting, summarizing, and organizing information across your Zoom Workplace tools.
• Phone + Workplace Pro (Pro Plus) - $18.33 per user each month on the annual plan

Bundle all Workplace Pro features with Zoom Phone for integrated calling.

• Zoom Rooms - $41.58 per room each month on the annual plan

Create dedicated conference rooms where teams can join or run meetings with one tap. Ideal for hybrid work setups and shared meeting spaces.

These add-ons make it easier to scale Zoom Pro when your team grows or when your workflow demands more than the default setup.
