Performance management in Zoho People starts on the Premium plan, which Zoho lists at ₹144 per user per month on yearly billing or ₹180 per user per month on monthly billing. Paid plans need at least five users. Enterprise costs ₹192 yearly and adds a help desk, LMS and sandbox. Organisations with more than 500 employees are asked to request a quote.

Zoho People's pricing page does not state that GST is included.
