Zoho Cliq vs Aircall FAQ
- Which one is cheaper?
- Zoho Cliq starts lower at $1/mo, compared to $30/mo for Aircall.
- Can I use either one for free?
- Zoho Cliq has a free plan. Aircall doesn't — you'll need to pay from day one.
- How do they charge?
- Both use a per-seat model, so the comparison is straightforward — it comes down to features and limits at each price point.
- Which one is a better deal?
- Depends on what you need. Zoho Cliq: Zoho Cliq is firmly in the budget-friendly camp — even the per-seat tiers at $1.8 and $3.6/user/mo are a fraction of what Slack or Teams charge. They're clearly going after cost-conscious SMBs and orgs already in the Zoho ecosystem, not trying to unseat Slack on features. Aircall: At $30-$50/seat annually, Aircall sits in the mid-market range — more expensive than scrappy alternatives like OpenPhone or Grasshopper, but cheaper than enterprise CCaaS players like Genesys or NICE. They're clearly targeting SMB and mid-market sales and support teams who want a polished product without an enterprise procurement process.
