The Verdict
RingCentral is built for enterprises and mid market companies, with a focus on business-phone and video-meetings. Zoho Meeting targets zoho users and small businesses and leads with video-meetings and webinars.
On pricing, Zoho Meeting is the clear winner for budget-conscious users — starting at $1.5/mo compared to $30/mo for RingCentral. That $28.5/mo difference adds up quickly for growing teams.
Zoho Meeting has a free plan, which gives it a meaningful edge for individuals and small teams exploring their options. RingCentral requires a paid subscription from day one.
