Zoom AI Companion pricing at a glance

Prices are per user in US dollars on Nov 5, 2026. Annual billing saves $2.83 a month on Pro and $3.66 on Business, or 17% on both plans. Pro covers 1 to 99 licenses and Business covers 1 to 250.

What is Zoom AI Companion called now? Zoom AI and ZoomMate

Zoom AI Companion is now called Zoom AI, and its paid tier is called ZoomMate. Zoom retired the AI Companion name in June 2026 and kept the features: meeting summaries, writing help in Team Chat and Mail, smart recording and call summaries. ZoomMate launched on June 1, 2026, as an add-on to Zoom Workplace or as a standalone subscription.

Some Zoom product pages and older reviews still use the AI Companion name.

Zoom AI Companion free plan: what Basic includes

Zoom Basic costs $0 and includes limited Zoom AI: 3 meeting summaries a month, 3 meetings with in-meeting questions, 3 My Notes and 20 AI queries a month. Basic meetings run up to 40 minutes with 100 participants. The plan also includes Team Chat, Mail, Calendar, up to 10 shared Docs, 3 editable whiteboards and 5 Clips of 2 minutes each.

Where the Zoom Basic AI stops:

• 3 meeting summaries a month. The cap counts meetings you host. Pro and above have unlimited summaries.
• 3 meetings with in-meeting questions a month. Pro and above have unlimited questions.
• 3 My Notes a month. My Notes covers Zoom and third-party meetings. It is unlimited on Pro.
• 20 AI queries a month.
• Agentic Search across 10 files and 3 meetings in total.
• 10 workflow runs a month, inside the Zoom app only.
• 3 Canvas documents a month with "AI help me write."
• Meetings of up to 40 minutes. Pro allows meetings of up to 30 hours.

For someone who hosts a few meetings a month and wants a summary of each, Basic can be enough. One weekly team meeting uses the 3 summaries by the third week of the month.

Zoom Pro AI pricing: $14.16 billed annually or $16.99 monthly

Zoom AI costs nothing extra on Pro: the plan costs $14.16 per user per month billed annually or $16.99 billed monthly, and the AI is part of that price. Pro includes unlimited meeting summaries, unlimited in-meeting questions and unlimited My Notes, plus AI drafting in Team Chat and Mail. My Notes records Zoom meetings, third-party meetings and in-person conversations.

Pro also includes custom meeting summary templates (8 a month), basic AI queries, Agentic Search, workflows inside Zoom, unlimited Canvas AI documents, unlimited Clips, 10 GB of cloud storage per user and live chat support. Meetings run up to 30 hours with 100 participants.

At $14.16 on annual billing, Pro costs $169.92 a year. At $16.99 on monthly billing, it costs $203.88 a year. The annual commitment saves $33.96 a year per user.

Zoom Business AI pricing: $18.33 billed annually or $21.99 monthly

Zoom Business costs $18.33 per user per month billed annually or $21.99 billed monthly, and the Zoom AI features are included in that price. Business includes everything in Pro and adds meetings of 300 participants, unlimited whiteboards, Scheduler, single sign-on with managed domains, multi-region storage, device management, information barriers, and archiving and DLP APIs.

At $18.33 on annual billing, Business costs $219.96 a year. At $21.99 on monthly billing, it costs $263.88 a year. Business costs $4.17 more a month than Pro on annual billing and $5.00 more on monthly billing.

Enterprise includes everything in Business with meetings of 1,000 participants, and Zoom's sales team quotes the price.

ZoomMate pricing: $20 per user per month for premium Zoom AI

ZoomMate costs $20 per user per month, billed monthly, as an add-on to a Zoom Workplace plan or as a standalone subscription. Each user gets 2,200 AI credits that renew every month. ZoomMate includes:

• Unlimited AI notes and unlimited custom meeting summary templates.
• Custom agents with a knowledge base, and prebuilt agents for sales, IT, marketing and finance.
• Agentic Search across the web, Zoom sources and third-party data, plus deep research.
• Workflows.
• The AI Productivity Suite (Slides, Sheets, Paper and Canvas).
• Voice Translator for live audio translation in meetings.

The advanced features need a ZoomMate license and available credits, and some features use no credits.

Zoom sells other AI products on their own:

A Pro seat with ZoomMate costs $34.16 per user per month with Pro on annual billing, and a Business seat with ZoomMate costs $38.33 with Business on annual billing.

Zoom AI Companion cost over one, two and three years

One Zoom Pro license costs $169.92 in year 1 and $509.76 over three years on annual billing, or $203.88 and $611.64 on monthly billing. One Business license costs $219.96 in year 1 and $659.88 over three years on annual billing. Basic costs $0, so it is not in the table.

Zoom is a subscription, so these costs repeat every year you keep the seat. The ZoomMate rows use the annual plan price plus ZoomMate at $20 a month.

Zoom AI Companion cost for a team

Zoom charges per licensed user, so five people on Pro pay $849.60 a year and ten pay $1,699.20 on annual billing. Meeting summary is started by the host or a co-host, so the licenses to count are the people who host meetings. ZoomMate adds $240 a year for each user who needs it.

These examples use annual billing.

How to choose a Zoom plan for AI notes

Choose Basic for up to 3 hosted meetings a month, Pro for unlimited summaries, Business for meetings of 300 people or single sign-on, and ZoomMate for agents and credits.

If you already pay for Zoom Pro, the summaries cost nothing extra, and a standalone note taker adds a second bill. Fathom Premium at $16 a month billed yearly brings a Pro seat on annual billing to $30.16 a month, and Read AI Pro at $15 billed annually brings it to $29.16 (prices checked Nov 2, 2026). My Notes on Pro also covers Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, and the steps for recording those two live in our guide to recording Google Meet and Microsoft Teams meetings. For other tools' plans, read Fathom AI pricing and Read AI pricing.

What each Zoom AI feature does, row by row

Zoom AI summarizes meetings, answers questions during them, takes notes, summarizes in-person meetings, drafts chat messages and emails, and summarizes Zoom Phone calls. Moving up from Basic to Pro removes the monthly caps on summaries, questions and My Notes, and ZoomMate adds agents and credits.

• Meeting summary. Summaries of meetings with next steps, shared by email and Zoom Team Chat. 3 hosted meetings a month on Basic, unlimited on Pro and above.
• In-meeting questions. Ask what has been said so far while the meeting runs. 3 meetings on Basic, unlimited on Pro.
• My Notes. Notes across Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and in-person conversations. 3 a month on Basic, unlimited on Pro.
• Smart recording. Cloud recordings split into chapters with highlights.
• Voice Recorder. Summaries of in-person meetings from a device or a Zoom Room.
• Team Chat and Mail. Chat compose drafts messages with adjustable tone and length, summaries cover messages, documents and threads, and Email compose writes emails and replies from a thread.
• Phone. Call summaries, voicemail prioritization and voicemail tasks need a Zoom Phone license.
• Webinars. Webinar summary and webinar questions.
• Whiteboard, Clips, Canvas and Tasks. AI content for whiteboards, Clips titles and descriptions, Canvas documents, and tasks created from meeting summaries.
• Custom summary templates. 8 a month on Pro, unlimited with ZoomMate.
• Admin controls. Administrators switch Zoom AI on or off for an account, a group or a user, and can lock the setting.

How Zoom AI meeting summary works, and what that means for cost

Zoom AI meeting summary works inside Zoom, and the host starts it. The host or a co-host hovers over the Zoom AI icon in the meeting window, selects Meeting summary and clicks Start Zoom AI, or sets the summary to start automatically. Participants can send the host a request to start it. It works in the Zoom desktop app on Windows, macOS and Linux, in the mobile app on Android and iOS, and in Zoom Rooms version 5.16.0 or higher. Breakout rooms are not supported.

Participants signed in to a Zoom account receive the summary automatically. It arrives by email, in the meeting's group chat when meeting chat is on, in the Summaries section of the Zoom web account and in Zoom Hub. The host can edit, share or delete it. Administrators can set summaries to move to the Trash after a number of days. Meeting summaries support over 30 languages. When several languages are spoken, the summary uses the language most participants speak, or the host's language when no language has a majority.

That setup decides the cost. A summary needs a licensed host, so the number of people who host is the number of paid seats to count.

Ways to keep the cost of Zoom AI down

Five habits keep the cost of Zoom AI down: start on Basic, choose annual billing, count hosts before you buy, add ZoomMate only where it is needed, and compare three-year totals.

1. Start on Basic and note the cap you reach first. On Basic the cap is 3 meeting summaries a month, so a fourth hosted meeting is the point where Pro starts to matter.
2. Choose annual billing. The annual price is $2.83 a month lower on Pro and $3.66 lower on Business.
3. Count hosts before you buy. The host starts the summary, so license the people who host meetings.
4. Add ZoomMate only for the people who need agents or credits. Each seat adds $240 a year.
5. Compare a three-year total, not a monthly price. Zoom Pro at $14.16 a month adds up to $509.76 over three years.

Zoom AI Companion pricing vs Comu AI: usage cost compared

Over three years, one Zoom Pro license costs $509.76 on annual billing, while Comu Note Pro costs $128.99 and Comu Action Pro costs $179.99 with the included plan (prices checked Nov 5, 2026). Comu is a pocket recorder with an app. The plan that comes with the device includes unlimited transcription, unlimited real-time transcription, speaker identification, AI summaries, action items, 30+ built-in templates and unlimited custom templates, and Comu AI for questions across your recordings. It supports 113 languages and exports TXT, Markdown, Word and PDF for text and MP3 and WAV for audio. Comu is GDPR, HIPAA and SOC 2 compliant.

The Comu rows use only that free plan. Zoom Basic costs $0 and covers 3 meeting summaries a month, 3 meetings with in-meeting questions, 3 My Notes and 20 AI queries, so the table compares Comu with Zoom's paid plans. Zoom Pro and Business also include the meeting platform: meetings of up to 30 hours, Team Chat, Mail, Calendar and cloud storage. The Zoom prices cover the whole plan, while Comu covers recording, transcription and AI summaries, so the comparison is for the part where they overlap.

Over three years, Zoom Pro on annual billing costs $380.77 more than Comu Note Pro and $329.77 more than Comu Action Pro. In year 1, Zoom Pro on annual billing costs $40.93 more than Comu Note Pro and $10.07 less than Comu Action Pro. On monthly billing, Zoom Pro costs more than Comu Note Pro from the eighth month and more than Comu Action Pro from the eleventh. Zoom Business on monthly billing costs more than Comu Note Pro from the sixth month and more than Comu Action Pro from the ninth. For a team of five, five Zoom Pro licenses on annual billing cost $849.60 a year and $2,548.80 over three years, while five Comu Note Pro devices with the included plan cost $644.95.

Zoom Basic costs $0 and covers meetings you host on Zoom, with 3 summaries a month and meetings of up to 40 minutes. Comu's included plan has no monthly cap on transcription or summaries, and it records in-person conversations and phone calls.

Zoom's AI works inside Zoom meetings, Team Chat, Mail and Phone. For in-person conversations it needs the Zoom app or a Zoom Room in the room, through Voice Recorder or My Notes on mobile. Comu records the room with a device in your pocket, so an in-person interview, a lecture or a client visit does not depend on a meeting link, a Zoom Room or an open computer. For phone calls, Comu has a bone-conduction microphone: place the device on the phone and it records the call. To see what else the included plan has, read our guide to the features that come with Comu, or look at Comu Note Pro and Comu Action Pro.
