What it does
Zoho Cliq provides team chats, channels, online meetings, and voice or video messages. Its product page describes a broader collaboration workspace with file exchange, calendar, tasks, contextual reminders, and a meeting whiteboard. The plan comparison lists Free, Standard, Professional, and Enterprise editions.
Cliq supports both direct conversations and channel-based discussions, with synchronous calls as well as asynchronous voice and video messages. The vendor also describes connecting discussions to meetings, files, a calendar, tasks, and reminders, so teams can keep some coordination context alongside their chat.
The plan comparison lists a Free edition with messaging and channels, meeting screen sharing, chat export, 100 participants per group, and 10,000 searchable messages. Paid plans raise the documented group limit to 500 and provide unlimited searchable messages. The pricing page notes that displayed currency can be localized, so this entry records the plan structure and free limits rather than a universal price.
