Last verified 2026-11-01. STALE marks a plan we have not re-checked at its source in over 30 days. 1 of 6 plans above is marked. https://www.zoho.com/mail/zohomail-pricing.html (official pricing page; the page renders prices client-side in a non-USD locale, so the per-user USD figures were corroborated on live third-party pricing pages: Mail tiers via TopAdvisor and neo.space, Workplace tiers via StackScored. Re-checked 2026-06-23: storage tiers (5/10 GB, 50 GB, 30 GB, 100 GB), annual-only billing, and the forever-free 5-user plan re-confirmed on the live page; HIPAA + Business-Associate (BAA) status re-confirmed via zoho.com/compliance.html. USD prices stay geo-locked on the live page, so the plan-level verified dates are intentionally NOT advanced past their last USD-confirmed value.) Cross-checked against topadvisor.com.

This standing as a plaque
Zoho Mail currently holds a gold deskmark here — Rank 1 of 7 · Email Hosting. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Zoho Mail moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
