Zoho Cliq

COMMS
Velocity6.3

Team chat and collaboration platform

Zoho Cliq is unbundling its licensing while spreading chat across every Zoho surface.

zoho-suitelicensingmeetingsai-assistguest-access
◆Current state
Cliq 7.0 shipped in August with AI summarisation, a developer platform refresh, and Cliq Mini embedded across Zoho apps. September added guest-user rework, Cliq Rooms on Neat hardware, and per-role subscription plans.
◆Where it's heading
Cliq is moving from a standalone chat app to the communication layer of the Zoho suite, extending into meeting-room hardware and external collaboration. Role-based plans suggest Zoho wants to land wider seat counts at lower average cost.
◆Prediction
Expect further role-specific bundles and more Cliq surfaces inside Zoho apps; the entries don't show whether AI features will be priced separately.
