What is Zoho Sprints?

Zoho Sprints is Zoho's agile tool for software and product teams that run Scrum or Kanban. It covers backlogs, epics, sprint planning, boards, timesheets, release management and the usual agile charts (burnup, burndown, velocity, cumulative flow, lead and cycle time). In India it mostly suits IT services firms, product startups and in-house tech teams that want Jira-style sprint discipline at a fraction of Jira's rupee cost, especially if they already pay for Zoho One, Cliq or Projects.

Pricing is the main draw. Zoho's own price sheet lists Starter at ₹70 per user per month (yearly billing only, 12 to 100 users), Elite at ₹210 monthly or ₹175 on yearly billing, and Premier at ₹420 monthly or ₹350 yearly. Enterprise, which adds OKRs, budget and expense tracking, test case management and risk registers, costs ₹630 per user monthly or ₹525 on yearly billing. Zoho adds GST and other local taxes on top. On annual Elite and Premier plans you pay for 10 months, while Starter on an annual plan bills all 12.

The free plan is real but small: 3 users, 3 projects and 500 MB of storage, with Scrum and Kanban boards, basic reports and the mobile apps. Treat it as a pilot rather than a long-term home. Note the odd floor on Starter: it begins at 12 users, so a five-person team pays for twelve, and at ₹70 that is still only ₹840 a month before GST.

The weak spots are depth and ecosystem. Client and vendor portals and custom roles start at Elite, while custom fields, webhooks, custom functions and capacity planning are Premier features. Its marketplace is far smaller than Atlassian's, and developers coming from Jira will miss some add-ons and advanced query habits. Zoho offers a 15-day trial of the top tier with no card required, plus import tools for Jira, Trello and Azure DevOps, so a two-week parallel run is the sensible way to decide.

What works well

  • +Starter costs ₹70 per user per month on yearly billing, among the cheapest paid agile tools sold in India
  • +Annual Elite and Premier plans bill only 10 months, effectively two months free
  • +Free plan includes Scrum and Kanban boards, unlimited work items and the Android and iOS apps
  • +Built-in importers for Jira, Trello and Azure DevOps reduce migration effort for existing teams
  • +Developer integrations cover GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jenkins, Azure DevOps and AWS CodeCommit
  • +Client and vendor portals from Elite let IT services firms give customers controlled project visibility
  • +15-day trial unlocks Enterprise features without asking for a credit card

What to watch out for

  • −Free plan is capped at 3 users, 3 projects and 500 MB of storage
  • −Starter needs a minimum of 12 paid users and is sold only on yearly billing
  • −Custom fields, webhooks, custom functions and release management are locked to Premier or higher
  • −Enterprise, the only tier with OKRs, test management and budgets, costs ₹525-630 per user, three times Elite
  • −Third-party marketplace and community are much smaller than what Jira users are used to
  • −GST is charged on top of every listed price

Best suited for: Indian IT services companies running Scrum for multiple client projects · Startups and product teams already on Zoho One, Cliq or Zoho Projects · Cost-conscious teams moving off Jira or Trello who want the importers to do the heavy lifting · Agencies that need client portals without paying for a separate tool

Zoho Sprints — frequently asked questions

How much does Zoho Sprints cost in India?+

Is Zoho Sprints free?+

Yes. Zoho Sprints has a forever-free plan for up to 3 users and 3 projects with 500 MB of storage. It includes Scrum and Kanban boards, unlimited work items and sprints, basic reports and the mobile apps. It works well for a pilot, but most teams of four or more will need a paid plan.

Does Zoho Sprints offer a free trial?+

Zoho Sprints offers a 15-day free trial that unlocks Enterprise-level features and does not ask for a credit card. Zoho says support can extend the trial on request. That is enough time to import a live Jira or Trello project and run one full sprint in parallel before committing.

Is GST included in Zoho Sprints pricing?+

No. Zoho states that local taxes such as GST are charged in addition to the prices on the Zoho Sprints pricing page. So a 20-user Elite team on yearly billing at ₹175 per user will see 18% GST added on top of the base subscription amount on its invoice.

Zoho Sprints vs Jira: which is better for an Indian team?+

Zoho Sprints is much cheaper, with paid plans from ₹70 per user per month, and it fits naturally if you already use Zoho apps. Jira has a far larger marketplace, deeper query tools and Confluence. Teams relying on many Atlassian add-ons should stay on Jira, while budget-led teams can migrate using Zoho Sprints' built-in Jira importer.

Does Zoho Sprints have a mobile app?+

Yes. Zoho Sprints has Android and iOS apps, included even on the Free plan. The iOS app needs iOS or iPadOS 15 or later and holds a 4.9 rating from 52 ratings on the Indian App Store. The apps support backlog sheet view, boards and live burnup, burndown and velocity charts.

Can I migrate from Jira or Trello to Zoho Sprints?+

Yes. Zoho Sprints includes import tools for Jira on every plan, including Free, and adds Trello and Azure DevOps imports from the Starter plan upward. Most small teams can move a project in a day, though custom fields and workflows may need rebuilding, and custom fields themselves require the Premier plan.

Is Zoho Sprints data secure?+

Zoho Sprints runs on Zoho's cloud, which holds ISO/IEC 27001, 27017 and 27018 certificates valid to August 2028 plus a SOC 2 Type 2 report, according to Zoho's compliance page. Zoho also states GDPR compliance. Granular custom roles and permissions are available from the Elite plan for teams that need tighter access control.

Does Zoho Sprints integrate with GitHub and CI/CD tools?+

Yes. Zoho Sprints integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, AWS CodeCommit and Azure DevOps for source control, and Jenkins and GitLab CI/CD for releases. It also connects to Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Zendesk and Zapier. Source-control integration starts from the Starter plan, while webhooks and custom functions need Premier.

Zoho sells the Zoho Sprints Starter plan for 12 to 100 users on yearly billing only. A smaller team still pays for 12 seats, which at ₹70 each comes to ₹840 a month before GST. If you need fewer seats with monthly billing, Elite at ₹210 per user is the alternative.
