What is Zoho Vault?

Zoho Vault is the password manager from Chennai-founded Zoho, built for teams that want to stop passing passwords around on WhatsApp, Excel sheets and sticky notes. It stores passwords, passkeys, documents and secure notes, autofills them through browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, and runs on Android and iOS. For Indian companies the strongest argument is price: Zoho's own rupee price file lists Standard at ₹54 per user per month on yearly billing, which is far below what most international team password managers charge.

Encryption happens in the browser. Vault encrypts data with AES-256 before it leaves your device, and Zoho says the master password is never sent to or stored on its servers, so Zoho staff cannot read your vault. One honest caveat sits on Zoho's own security page: shared passwords use an organisation key held in the browser, which a determined, logged-in user could extract. Accounts created from India are placed in the India data centre (vault.zoho.in), which helps firms that prefer data kept in the country.

The plan ladder is where buyers need care. The Free plan is genuinely useful for one person, with unlimited passwords and devices, but sharing with colleagues starts on Standard. User groups, folder sharing, breached-password alerts, a break-glass emergency account and Azure AD or Google Workspace sync need Professional at ₹248 per user per month yearly, with a five-user minimum. Active Directory integration, SSO for cloud apps, request-release approval workflows, Okta and OneLogin, help desk and SIEM integration sit only on Enterprise at ₹432.

In practice, a 10-person agency can run Standard for about ₹6,500 a year before tax, while a 50-person IT team that needs AD sync and approval workflows should budget for Enterprise. Monthly billing costs roughly 10% more than yearly. A 15-day trial of Enterprise for up to five users needs no card, and an unconverted trial drops to the Free plan with data intact rather than being deleted.

What works well

+Standard costs ₹54 per user per month on yearly billing, very low for a team vault
+Free plan has unlimited passwords, passkeys, devices and a built-in 2FA authenticator
+Client-side AES-256 encryption means the master password never reaches Zoho's servers
+India data centre at vault.zoho.in for accounts created from Indian IP addresses
+Request-release workflows with time-limited access suit IT teams guarding server credentials
+Help desk integration ties password access to tickets in ServiceNow, Zendesk and SDP On-Demand
+Expired trial falls back to the Free plan without deleting stored data

What to watch out for

−Sharing passwords with teammates is not possible on the Free plan at all
−Professional and Enterprise both require a minimum of five paid users
−Active Directory, SSO and Okta integration are locked to the ₹432 Enterprise plan
−Zoho admits the browser-held organisation key for shared passwords can be extracted by a savvy user
−Vault pricing page does not state whether GST is included in rupee prices

Best suited for: Indian SMEs replacing shared spreadsheets of logins with a low-cost team vault · Companies already on Zoho Workplace or Zoho One who want the same admin console · IT and managed-service teams that need approval workflows for critical credentials · Individuals who want a free, unlimited password manager with mobile apps

Is Zoho Vault the best choice for you?

Best choice if you are…

Indian SMEs replacing shared spreadsheets of logins with a low-cost team vault
Companies already on Zoho Workplace or Zoho One who want the same admin console
IT and managed-service teams that need approval workflows for critical credentials
Individuals who want a free, unlimited password manager with mobile apps

Look elsewhere if you are…

Teams under five users who want AD sync or SSO, since those need Enterprise with a five-user minimum
Enterprises needing full privileged access management with session recording, which is a different product class (for example ManageEngine PAM360)

Zoho Vault — frequently asked questions

How much does Zoho Vault cost in India?+

Zoho Vault Standard costs ₹54 per user per month on yearly billing or ₹60 monthly. Professional is ₹248 yearly or ₹275 monthly, and Enterprise is ₹432 yearly or ₹480 monthly, per user. Professional and Enterprise need at least five users. A 10-user team on Standard pays about ₹6,480 a year before any applicable tax.

Is GST included in Zoho Vault prices?+

The Zoho Vault pricing page lists rupee prices but does not say whether GST is included. Zoho generally charges local taxes on top of listed prices, so Indian buyers should expect 18% GST to be added and should enter their GSTIN at checkout to receive a proper tax invoice for input credit.

Is there a free version of Zoho Vault?+

Yes. Zoho Vault has a Free Forever plan with unlimited passwords, passkeys, storage and devices, plus browser extensions, mobile apps, offline access and a built-in 2FA authenticator. It is designed for individuals, because sharing passwords with teammates, user roles and admin controls only start on the paid Standard plan.

Does Zoho Vault offer a free trial?+

Zoho Vault offers a 15-day free trial of the Enterprise plan for up to five users, with no credit card required. If you do not upgrade when the trial ends, the account moves to the Free plan and your stored data stays intact, so you can test team features without losing anything.

Is Zoho Vault safe for storing company passwords?+

Zoho Vault encrypts data with AES-256 inside your browser and sends only encrypted data over TLS. Zoho says the master password is never transmitted or stored, so Zoho cannot read your vault. Zoho also notes that the organisation key used for shared passwords lives in the browser, so restrict sharing to trusted users.

Does Zoho Vault store Indian customer data in India?+

Yes. Zoho Vault has an India data centre at vault.zoho.in. Zoho assigns the data centre from your IP address at sign-up and says data is not moved to other centres. If your account was created from abroad, you can ask for migration by emailing migrations@zohoaccounts.com.

Does Zoho Vault have a mobile app?+

Yes. Zoho Vault has native Android and iOS apps with biometric unlock, autofill, automatic website login and offline access. The apps are included on every plan, including Free. Browser extensions are available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Microsoft Edge, so the same vault works on laptops and phones.

Which Zoho Vault plan includes Active Directory and SSO?+

Active Directory integration, single sign-on for cloud apps, Okta and OneLogin integration, the request-release approval workflow, and help desk and SIEM integration are all on Zoho Vault Enterprise at ₹432 per user per month yearly. Azure AD and Google Workspace user sync are available one step lower, on Professional at ₹248.

Zoho Vault vs LastPass or Bitwarden: which suits Indian teams?+

Zoho Vault's main advantage for Indian teams is rupee pricing from ₹54 per user per month and an India data centre. It also fits neatly if you already use Zoho Mail or Zoho Desk. Teams that want open-source code or self-hosting may prefer Bitwarden, and should compare feature limits plan by plan.

How long does it take to set up Zoho Vault?+

A small team can start using Zoho Vault the same day: install the browser extension, set a master password, import existing passwords from a file and invite users. Larger rollouts with Active Directory sync, SSO and approval workflows take longer, and Zoho's Flex Plan offers tailored onboarding and training for big organisations.
