Looking for the best Mailchimp alternatives for your Singapore business? Here are our top picks.
Zoom really took off during COVID, when remote work became the norm. It remains the leading video conferencing platform, with hundreds of millions of active users worldwide.
Zoom’s pricing varies by country, taking into account local currencies and economic conditions. In this article, we'll look at the pricing plans available in Singapore, what each plan includes, and the optional add-ons you can purchase—plus, we'll see how Zoom's pricing stacks up against the competition.
We'll also introduce the Wise Business multicurrency card as a low-fee, convenient way to pay for Zoom and all your other SaaS subscriptions, helping you avoid unnecessary extra costs.

Zoom offers both monthly and annual billing options for its three core paid "Workplace" plans: Pro, Business, and Business Plus. Most of the available add-ons also support both billing options, though some are limited to monthly billing only.
There are no usage fees for standard Zoom meetings and most other features. However, toll charges may apply if you use telephone dial-in. Additional storage is available as a paid add-on if you exceed 5 GB of cloud storage included in the paid plans.
Basic | Pro | Business | Business Plus | Enterprise | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Monthly billing | Free | S$22.49 per user¹ | S$30.79 per user (10 users minimum) | From S$44.19 per user (10 users minimum) | Contact sales (250 users minimum) |
Annual billing | Free | S$224.90 per user | S$307.90 per user (10 users minimum) | From S$441.9 per user (10 users minimum) | Contact sales (250 users minimum) |
In Singapore, individuals and businesses can pay for Zoom in either SGD or USD.
In other countries, users may have the option to pay in their local currency, though not all regions are supported, and billing may default to USD.
Some Singapore-based businesses may opt to pay in USD, especially if many of their other SaaS subscriptions are billed in the same currency. This can be more convenient for companies that hold USD in a bank or non-bank account.
You might also encounter a couple of other scenarios where your business in Singapore gets charged Zoom fees in a currency other than your preferred one. By understanding these scenarios, you can take proactive steps to manage your billing effectively and avoid unnecessary foreign transaction fees.
💡Considerations for Cross-Currency Billing: |
---|
Centralised Payment Systems: If your business (eg. a Singapore subsidiary) uses a centralised payment system or corporate credit card based in another country, your Zoom account might be linked to this system, resulting in billing in the currency of the payment system rather than SGD. This can lead to additional currency conversion fees. |
Initial Account Setup: If your Zoom account was initially set up by your business in another country before establishing a branch in Singapore, the account might still be billed in the original currency unless updated. This is another scenario where you might incur cross-currency charges. |
If you need the flexibility of paying for all your foreign currency transactions with one business account, consider the Wise Business multicurrency account and card. You'll be able to hold 40+ currencies in your account, and when Zoom or any other service charges your Wise Business Card in a foreign currency, Wise deducts the amount from your account in that currency if you have sufficient funds. If you don't have enough funds in the currency of the transaction, Wise will convert the necessary amount from your other currencies at the mid-market rate, applying a small conversion fee.

The Basic plan is completely free—forever. It’s not a free trial, so it won’t expire. However, it does come with certain limitations. To use the Basic plan, you must sign up with an email address or your SSO, Apple, Google, or Facebook account.
The Basic plan gives you access to a generous number of features, including but not limited to:
Zoom Basic offers businesses more than enough features to get started on the platform, and this free plan may even be sufficient to meet your needs. The main limitations to be aware of are the 40-minute meeting duration limit, the lack of cloud storage, and restrictions on Clips — especially if you plan to record meetings or build a content library.
Zoom Workplace Pro costs S$22.49 per user per month when billed monthly, excluding GST. If you choose the annual billing option, the cost is reduced to S$18.74 per user per month, which totals S$224.90 per user per year, also excluding GST.
The Pro plan includes all the features of the Basic plan, plus the following key features:
If you use Zoom primarily for meetings, don't need more than 100 participants, and your sessions often run longer than 40 minutes, the Pro plan might be a good fit. The ability to record unlimited video clips will also appeal to many businesses. However, if you need to host more participants or use features like Whiteboards, Zoom Scheduler, or Zoom Phone, one of the other plans may be a better choice.
The Zoom Workplace Business plan is priced at S$30.79 per user per month when billed monthly, excluding GST. For those opting for annual billing, the cost drops to S$25.66 per user per month, totalling S$307.90 per user per year, excluding GST. A minimum of 10 users is required to subscribe to the Business plan.
The Business plan includes everything in the Pro plan, as well as:
If you need to host meetings with over 100 participants, find the Whiteboards feature helpful for brainstorming and collaboration, and don’t require Zoom Phone, then Zoom Business is likely the best plan for you. However, keep in mind that you must have at least 10 users. It also includes the Zoom Scheduler feature, which is especially useful for teams who frequently coordinate meetings and want to reduce scheduling back-and-forth.
The Zoom Workplace Business Plus plan includes Zoom Phone and costs S$44.19 per user per month when billed monthly, excluding GST². If you select the annual plan, the total is S$441.90 per user per year, offering a 16% savings compared to monthly billing.
If you need to make regional or international calls, extra charges apply. These can be covered through a pay-as-you-go model or a prepaid plan. The Business Plus plan requires a minimum of 10 users.
The Zoom Business Plus plan gives you all the features of the Business plan, along with the following:
Zoom Business Plus is essentially the Zoom Business plan with Zoom Phone included. It’s the right choice only if your business needs Zoom Phone—a cloud-based VoIP service that lets you make and receive calls over the internet using the same Zoom app. If you don’t need Zoom Phone, stick with the Zoom Business plan.
The pricing for the Zoom Enterprise plan is not publicly listed. You need to contact Zoom Sales directly to get pricing information. A minimum of 250 users is needed for the Enterprise plan.
The Zoom Enterprise plan is an enterprise-grade package designed with advanced security and compliance features. It offers the most comprehensive set of features, including everything from the other paid plans—and more:
The Enterprise plan is designed for large organisations with more than 250 users. If your team is smaller than that, the Business or Pro plans may be a better fit. However, if your organisation meets the size requirement, the Enterprise plan offers one of the most robust feature sets available—including Scheduler, Zoom Phone, Whiteboards, Webinars, and much more.
Zoom offers a wide range of add-ons to enhance your Zoom Workplace experience, allowing you to create a customised package that suits your business needs. Below are the available add-ons for individuals and businesses:
*Please note that some additional add-ons are available exclusively to enterprise clients and certain industries that are not included in this list.
There are various ways to ensure your business is not paying more than it needs to for its Zoom subscription. Here are some cost-saving tips to consider:

According to 2024 data, Zoom remains the leading video conferencing platform with a 55% market share, while its nearest competitor, Microsoft Teams, holds about 32%⁴.
Since Microsoft Teams prices its plans in USD for Singapore businesses, we've shown how their yearly pricing plans compare in USD here:
Users in Singapore can usually pay for Zoom using credit or debit cards, PayPal, Google Pay, or Apple Pay. Additional payment methods may be available, depending on factors such as the browser you're using or the country you're paying from.
Zoom also accepts manual payments via check, wire/bank transfer, EFT, and ACH for eligible accounts. However, these options are generally reserved for Enterprise or large business customers with a minimum spend of USD 250, so it’s best to contact Zoom Sales to check your eligibility⁶.
Yes, Zoom offers mobile apps for Android and iOS, as well as a desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. The app gives you access to the full range of features, including video calls, screen sharing, whiteboards, scheduling, and more. You can download all versions from the Zoom Download Center.
The Basic (free) plan only allows meetings to last up to 40 minutes. Once that time limit is reached, Zoom will automatically end the session. For some users, this may be sufficient.
However, if you require longer meetings and want to avoid abrupt interruptions—especially in a professional or business setting—it’s recommended to upgrade to a paid plan.
Zoom is a leading video conferencing platform that goes beyond just online meetings, offering a full suite of tools for team collaboration. Whether you're a solo entrepreneur or a large corporation with hundreds of employees, Zoom has a pricing plan to suit the size and needs of any business in Singapore.
💡 Users in Singapore can choose to pay for their Zoom subscription in either USD or SGD. Whatever your choice, using a low-fee card when managing SaaS subscriptions is a smart idea to avoid hidden extra costs that eat into your profits. With the Wise Business multicurrency card, you can manage all your SaaS subscriptions from one place. You can pay in multiple currencies, avoid foreign transaction fees, and convert funds at the real mid-market exchange rate—without any steep markups. |
