Overview
Zoho Analytics is a self-service business intelligence and analytics platform that lets users blend data from many sources, build interactive reports and dashboards, and perform predictive and diagnostic analysis. Part of the broader Zoho suite, it offers competitive, transparent per-tier pricing and broad connectivity to databases, files, cloud storage, and business applications, including finance and ERP-adjacent sources such as NetSuite.
The platform provides a drag-and-drop report builder with 50+ visualization types, a data preparation and management layer, and an AI assistant, Zia, that supports natural-language querying (Ask Zia), automated insights, what-if simulations, anomaly detection, and forecasting. Zia's conversational features are available across plans at no extra cost.
Zoho Analytics is delivered primarily as multi-tenant SaaS, with an on-premises edition available, and it supports embedded and white-label analytics for ISVs and application teams. It is positioned to serve SMBs and mid-market organizations with affordable, role-based, tiered pricing.

Pricing
Full Zoho Analytics pricing breakdown — cost at 25/100/500 seats, competitor rates & FAQs
Zoho Analytics is priced per account rather than per user, and the included user count is shared across the organisation — so the usual per-seat comparison does not apply. Published tiers run from a free plan through Basic at about $30/month, Standard $60, Premium $145 and Enterprise $575. Because users are bundled rather than charged individually, it is unusually cheap for a wide read-only audience and comparatively expensive for a small team needing high row counts, which is the other thing the tiers gate.
