PLEASE Zoom - add a no-bells price plan that is between basic (free) and pro...

As a counselling therapist I provide sessions that are 50 or 60 minutes long, but I only have a few a week, and that makes that annual price somewhat prohibitive.

I don’t need all the bells and whistles, all I need is to see up to 8 people simultaneously, be able to share documents via the share function, and be able to record meetings/sessions.

I’ve tried alternatives but they either don’t provide the quality that Zoom provides (e.g., GoogleMeet) or don’t work at all for me (e.g., MS Teams - I have spent hours and just can’t get it to work on my Mac.)

I know of many others who are in the same boat - so how can we as a community persuade Zoom to provide that sweet spot that so many self-employed people or small businesses need?

    ​@HenkSmit , 

     I do not know this first-hand, but I believe that there are Zoom resellers. These are companies that are authorized by Zoom to resell its products. I believe that these resellers sell a stripped down version of Zoom that may be beneficial to you. Unfortunately, I do not know how you would find these companies, other than googling “Zoom resellers.” But, try that and let me know what you find. The majority of Zoom customers are happy with our model, so I do not believe that we will be changing it anytime soon. We do have promotions, but I do not think that is what you are looking for. Best of luck.

    Hi ​@HenkSmit 

    Zoom provides both monthly and annual plans for Zoom Workplace Pro which includes Meetings and other useful features.  In the United States, Zoom Workplace Pro monthly is USD 15.99 and on an annual basis USD 13.33 per month billed annually at USD 159.96.

    Please see Zoom Workplace Pricing - Zoom for details including features.

    If you are having three sessions per week (12 sessions per month), the cost per session is USD 1.33 on the monthly pay plan and USD 1.11 on the annual pay plan.

    Thanks,  eliot

      Hi Eliot, whilst that makes perfect sense and the price per session doesn’t appear that much, all cost mount up.  More importantly, some people make a lot more use of Zoom and pay the same amount per month or year, so I still stand by my suggestion that an intermediate tier could be added to the pricing system.  Or an overall cheaper stripped-down service with pricing to match, and where additions are paid for?  Just a few thoughts.

      Many thanks

      Henk
