What is the Zoom Phone US & Canada Metered Plan?

The Zoom Phone Metered plan is Zoom’s lowest-cost entry point at $10.50/user/month, designed for teams with minimal outbound calling needs. Every outbound call to the public phone network is billed by the minute (~$0.03/min), making it cost-effective only for very low usage.

Key Features of the Zoom Phone US & Canada Metered Plan

What Is the Zoom Phone US & Canada Unlimited Plan?

The US & Canada Unlimited plan at $16/user/month is Zoom’s standard plan for US-based teams. It removes per-minute billing and adds unlimited SMS/MMS—making it the most practical standalone option for small businesses with regular domestic calling needs. However it can’t quite stand up to other modern Zoom Phone alternatives in terms of international numbers, features, or integrations. 

Key Features of the Zoom Phone US & Canada Unlimited Plan

  • Unlimited domestic calling (US & Canada)
  • Unlimited SMS & MMS
  • All Metered plan features included
  • Bring Your Own Carrier (BYOC) support
  • Option to add unlimited calling to 19 countries for $10/month extra

What Are the Zoom Phone Workplace Bundles?

For teams already using Zoom for meetings, the Workplace bundles combine phone, video, AI, and chat into a single subscription. Pro Plus starts at $20.50/user/month and Business Plus at $24.50/user/month (requires 10+ users, billed annually).

Key Features of the Zoom Phone Pro Plus Bundle

  • Unlimited US & Canada calling
  • Zoom Meetings (video conferencing)
  • AI Companion: automatic call summaries and transcription
  • Team chat and collaboration tools
  • 10GB cloud storage for recordings and meeting data

Key Features of the Zoom Phone Business Plus Bundle

  • All Pro Plus features included
  • Salesforce CRM integration
  • Single Sign-On (SSO) support
  • Up to 300-participant Zoom Meetings

What Add-Ons Does Zoom Phone Offer?

Zoom Phone uses a modular pricing model—base plans are just the starting point. Depending on your team’s needs, you may need one or more of the following add-ons to build a fully functional business phone system.

Zoom Phone Add-On Pricing Breakdown

  1. 01
    Zoom Phone Power Pack – $25/user/month:
    Unlocks real-time call center analytics, supervisor dashboards, and historical reporting. Required for any team running a contact center operation.
  2. 02
    Additional Phone Numbers – $5/month per number:
    Each plan includes one number per user. Extra lines for departments or campaigns are billed separately.
  3. 03
    Unlimited International Calling – $10/month:
    Adds flat-rate calling to 19 major business regions including the UK, Germany, and Japan—useful if your team relies on international phone numbers for regular cross-border calling. Available from the US & Canada Unlimited plan upward.

What Do Real Users Say About Zoom Phone Pricing on Reddit and G2?

Beyond the plan pages, real user discussions reveal how Zoom Phone pricing actually plays out for teams once add-ons and usage enter the picture.

Zoom Phone Pricing Review on Reddit

There are several Reddit threads where users are discussing Zoom Phone’s pricing, often complaining that Zoom Phone isn’t transparent about its pricing changes.

Zoom Phone Pricing Review on G2/Trustpilot

On G2, reviewers are largely positive about ease of use and the AI Companion feature baked into paid plans, with several specifically noting they no longer need a separate call-transcription tool because summaries and transcripts are built in.

Embedded image

On Trustpilot, the most common negative theme centers on billing rather than call quality: reviewers describe unexpected overage charges, being billed for a full renewal year even after trying to downsize, and difficulty adjusting seat counts mid-contract—echoing the same „hidden cost“ pattern found on Reddit.

How Much Does Zoom Phone Cost Per Month?

Zoom bills Phone plans annually by default—the per-user prices throughout this guide already reflect that annual rate. For more on how providers structure this kind of business phone system pricing, here’s what each Zoom plan costs per user, per month, and over a full year:

Plan Monthly Cost (Per User) Annual Cost (Per User) Notes
US & Canada Metered $10.50/user/mo $126/user/yr Plus ~$0.03/min for outbound calls
US & Canada Unlimited $16/user/mo $192/user/yr Unlimited US & Canada calling included
Pro Plus Bundle $20.50/user/mo $246/user/yr Adds Zoom Workplace (video, chat, AI Companion)
Business Plus Bundle $24.50/user/mo $294/user/yr Requires 10+ users

Zoom Phone is also available billed month-to-month instead of annually, but that flexibility comes at a noticeable premium—typically somewhere in the 15–20% range over the annual per-user rates shown above, depending on the plan.

Zoom Phone AI Voice Agent Pricing

Zoom doesn’t sell a dedicated AI phone system the way some competitors do. Its AI investment centers on AI Companion: a set of AI features—call summaries, transcription, and meeting/chat assistance—layered on top of Zoom Phone and Zoom Workplace plans, rather than a system that independently answers or makes calls.

AI Companion is included at no additional cost on all paid Zoom plans from Pro upward, which covers every Zoom Phone plan discussed above. Teams that want deeper functionality can add the Custom AI Companion package for $12/user/month, and organizations without an existing Zoom Phone or Workplace license can buy AI Companion as a standalone product for $10/user/month.

For teams that want AI that actively answers calls, qualifies leads, or handles full conversations—rather than summarizing them after the fact—CloudTalk’s AI Voice Agent is built for that use case and is included starting on the $29/user/month plan.

Zoom Phone Pricing for Call Recording & Transcription

Call recording and voicemail transcription are included on every Zoom Phone plan, including the entry-level $10.50/user/month Metered tier—there’s no separate fee just to record and transcribe calls. AI Companion, included free on Pro-tier-and-up Zoom subscriptions, layers automatic call summaries and the kind of improved accuracy you’d normally pay a dedicated call transcription software for, on top of that base recording feature.

That’s a genuine point in Zoom Phone’s favor: unlike some competitors that gate call recording behind higher tiers or charge per-minute transcription fees, Zoom bundles both into every plan from day one. The trade-off shows up elsewhere—in per-minute international rates, the Power Pack requirement for supervisor-level analytics, and the lack of a free trial to test any of it first.

What a Real Zoom Phone Pricing Bill Actually Looks Like

Plan prices only tell you the starting point. Here’s what three different teams would actually pay once real-world usage and add-ons enter the picture. These are illustrative estimates built from Zoom’s published per-user pricing, not quotes from Zoom itself.

Scenario 1: The Tiny Inbound Team (2 Agents, US & Canada Metered Plan)

The Setup: A boutique reception desk with 2 agents handling mostly inbound calls, with occasional outbound callbacks.

  1. 01
    The Per-Minute Trap:
    The Metered plan bills every outbound call at roughly $0.03/minute with no bundled minutes included. Even light callback volume—say, 20 calls a day at 3 minutes each, split across 2 agents—adds up fast.
  2. 02
    No Trial to Test It:
    There’s no free trial on any Zoom Phone plan, so this team commits to an annual contract before finding out whether their real call volume fits the Metered tier.
Line Item Unit Cost x Quantity Subtotal
US & Canada Metered Licenses $10.50/seat x 2 $21.00
Outbound Minutes (Est. ~600 min/mo) $0.03/min x 600 $18.00
Included Phone Numbers $0.00 x 2 $0.00
Monthly Bill Subtotal: $39.00/month. Real Cost per Active User: $19.50/month—nearly double the advertised $10.50 price once outbound minutes are factored in.

Scenario 2: The Scaling Support Team (20 Agents, US & Canada Unlimited Plan)

The Setup: A growing domestic support team that needs call center analytics and a few extra department lines.

  1. 01
    The Analytics Gate:
    The Unlimited plan alone doesn’t include supervisor dashboards or historical reporting—that requires the Power Pack add-on at $25/user/month, more than the base plan itself.
  2. 02
    The Extra Numbers:
    Routing calls to specific departments means buying additional numbers beyond the one included per user, at $5/month each.
Line Item Unit Cost x Quantity Subtotal
US & Canada Unlimited Licenses $16.00/seat x 20 $320.00
Power Pack Add-On $25.00/seat x 20 $500.00
Extra Department Numbers $5.00 x 4 $20.00
Monthly Bill Subtotal: $840.00/month. Real Cost per Active User: $42.00/month—almost triple the advertised $16 base price once analytics come into play.

Scenario 3: The Enterprise-Requirements Team (20 Agents, Business Plus Bundle)

The Setup: A mid-sized professional services firm that needs SSO and Salesforce integration, which only ship in the Business Plus bundle.

  1. 01
    The 10-Seat Minimum:
    Business Plus requires at least 10 users. A 20-agent team clears that easily, but any team under 10 seats can’t access SSO or Salesforce integration at all without buying more licenses than they need.
  2. 02
    The Analytics Add-On Still Applies:
    Even on the top bundle, supervisor-level call center analytics still requires the separate Power Pack add-on.
Line Item Unit Cost x Quantity Subtotal
Business Plus Bundle Licenses $24.50/seat x 20 $490.00
Power Pack Add-On $25.00/seat x 20 $500.00
Extra Numbers $5.00 x 5 $25.00
Monthly Bill Subtotal: $1,015.00/month. Real Cost per Active User: $50.75/month—more than double the advertised $24.50 bundle price once analytics are added.

How Competitive Is Zoom Phone Pricing vs Similar Vendors?

Zoom Phone’s entry price looks attractive, but as the scenarios above show, the real cost adds up fast. The $10.50 Metered plan charges per call, the Power Pack for analytics costs an extra $25/user/month, and there’s no free trial on any plan. Here’s how it stacks up against CloudTalk and other popular alternatives.

  • True Cost of Ownership:
    Zoom Phone’s $10 base quickly climbs once you add call minutes, extra numbers, and analytics. CloudTalk starts at $25/user/month with more included out of the box.
  • Global Reach Without the Gaps:
    CloudTalk provides local numbers in 160+ countries out of the box. Zoom Phone’s international coverage is limited to a metered add-on for select countries—there’s no flat-rate, self-serve international plan.
  • Premium Features in Every Tier:
    CloudTalk includes Skill-Based Routing, Workflow Automation, Click-to-Call, and campaign management in its core plans. Zoom Phone offers none of these without add-ons.
  • Reliable Call Quality:
    CloudTalk’s 99.99% uptime and Tier-1 telecom partnerships ensure stronger global connections. Zoom Phone’s calling infrastructure is built around its conferencing product, not call centers.
  • Free Trial:
    CloudTalk offers a 14-day free trial. Zoom Phone offers none.

  3. 03

FAQs About Zoom Phone

Všetko, čo potrebujete vedieť o produkte a fakturácii.

For most small teams, the realistic starting point is US & Canada Unlimited at $16/user/month, since the $10.50/user/month Metered plan bills every outbound call per minute and gets expensive once a team makes regular calls. Teams that also want AI Companion and video can bundle in Pro Plus at $20.50/user/month instead.

No. Zoom Phone requires a paid plan starting at $10.50/user/month, and Zoom doesn’t offer a free trial on any Phone plan or Workplace bundle. If you want to test a business phone system risk-free first, CloudTalk’s 14-day free trial lets you do that before committing to an annual contract.

Per-user pricing, billed annually, ranges from $10.50/user/month for the Metered plan up to $24.50/user/month for the Business Plus bundle. See the monthly cost breakdown above for how each plan compares on a monthly and annual basis.

Zoom’s standalone Phone tiers are US & Canada Metered ($10.50/user/month, billed per minute) and US & Canada Unlimited ($16/user/month, unlimited domestic calling). On top of that, Zoom also sells two Workplace bundle plans, Pro Plus ($20.50/user/month) and Business Plus ($24.50/user/month), which add video, chat, and AI Companion on top of Unlimited calling. Each tier builds on the one below it.

The cheapest standalone plan is US & Canada Metered at $10.50/user/month, but it only makes sense for very low call volume since every outbound call is billed per minute. For most startups making regular calls, the $16/user/month Unlimited plan ends up cheaper in practice once monthly call minutes cross a fairly low threshold—see our roundup of small business phone plans for how that compares to other providers.

Yes, outside of a specific add-on. The Unlimited International Calling add-on covers 19 countries for $10/user/month on top of the Unlimited plan or a Workplace bundle. Calls to any country outside those 19—or outside the US & Canada on the base plans—are billed per minute at rates that vary by destination.

CloudTalk is the strongest alternative, offering more integrations, wider international number coverage, and features like Skill-Based Routing and Workflow Automation that aren’t available on Zoom Phone.
