The Verdict
Edmodo is built for k12 teachers and students, with a focus on class-groups and assignments. Zoho Meeting targets zoho users and small businesses and leads with video-meetings and webinars.
Edmodo uses custom enterprise pricing, while Zoho Meeting starts at $1.5/mo — a tangible advantage for teams with a fixed budget.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Bottom line: Zoho Meeting has a slight overall edge — but if free for all users matters most to you, Edmodo may still be the right call.
