AFAIK they’re the only decent email provider that offers a free account that allows a custom domain. I use the $1/month mail lite plan. It’s nice to have an option that doesn’t cost as much as Microsoft and Google for people that want email on a custom domain, but don’t need all the cruft (drive, apps, etc).

FWIW They do way more than email … it has been fascinaa sad to g to watch them grow over many years. Their initial devs were school dropouts.

Fascinating … typo

Until recently I liked ZOHO. For the charity that I worked for, we built our website around ZOHO. They made us buy 7 licenses at the regular price, and that was a pretty tough arrangement for us. We only had one actual user. The rest were because a bunch of volunteers using one particular product. Zoho would not accept that fact. So we are a bigger part of that $1B than we like.

It sounds like you are using Zoho One. You get 40 apps for that price of $37/month paid annually. But the situation is that to get that great price, and it is fantastic, you have to put Zoho One on every computer. It's stated right in the purchase price. "Must purchase license for ALL employees*" "*Your business will have to commit to purchase Zoho One licenses for ALL employees on payroll."

If the volunteers are true volunteers and not on payroll, you should be able to have only one copy.

I see that they do have the Flexible-User Pricing for $90/month paid annually.

> Sridhar Vembu of Zoho said that no other company has built a billion dollar product company in India. India has no other billion dollar product companies? Doesn’t Tata sell cars?

I think he means software product company. Anyhow, regardless of that his statement is inaccurate because Zoho IS NOT an Indian company. Majority of its employees are in India (and the founder is Indian) but that's true for a lot of other international companies as well, that doesn't make them Indian.

I stand corrected, I did some digging and found out that Zoho has recently reorganised itself and is now an Indian company.
