Subscription
Zoho Expense can be subscribed on a monthly or yearly basis. You can choose a plan based on your business needs and add as many users as required to your organization.
Even if you’ve added users more than the subscribed user limit, only the active users will be charged for the plan you’ve subscribed to. An active user is a user who either creates an expense using autoscan or creates an expense report during a billing period.
For example, let’s say you’ve subscribed for 10 users under the Premium Yearly plan, but 15 users are active in Zoho Expense for a particular month. In this case, the additional 5 users will be charged at $9/user /month. So, you will be charged for the extra usage for that particular month for 5 * 9 = $45.
Note: Let’s say you opt for 10 users while subscribing to a plan. Though only 5 users are active for a particular month, you will still be charged for 10 users.
