The quick verdict, point by point.

Zoho Mail charges for each user. Patra charges for storage that everyone in your account shares. That one difference decides most of the rows below.

Patra and Zoho Mail compared: who each suits, the price for five people, storage, mailboxes, aliases, AI, automations, partner branding, free trial and support
What matters	Patra	Zoho Mail
Best for	Teams that want one price for everyone, plenty of addresses and built-in automations, and partners who resell email to their clients	One or two people; up to five who only need webmail and Zoho’s phone app, where the free plan is offered; teams that also want office apps, chat and phone support
Price for 5 people, 1 year	US$49 on the 25 GB plan (room for 5 GB each), or US$35 on the 10 GB plan if 2 GB each is enough. Plus applicable tax	US$60 on Mail Lite (5 GB each), US$180 on Workplace Standard or US$240 on Mail Premium, billed yearly, plus local taxes. US$0 on the free plan where offered [1]
Storage	One pool for the account: 10, 25 or 50 GB, shared by everyone. Give any mailbox its own limit if you want to. More on request	Fixed per user: 5 GB (free plan and Mail Lite), 10 GB (Mail Lite 10 GB), 30 GB (Workplace Standard) or 50 GB (Mail Premium), and more on Workplace Professional. Pooled storage only above 1,000 users [1]
Mailboxes	Unlimited within fair use, up to 1,000 per account. Adding people doesn’t change your price	Each user is a paid licence at the plan’s per-user price. Free plan: up to 5 users [1]
Aliases and domains	Aliases, groups and a catch-all at no extra cost. Up to 100 domains, within fair use	Up to 30 addresses per mailbox (29 aliases plus the main one), and email groups on paid plans. 30 domains on paid plans, 1 on the free plan and during the trial [1][2]
AI	Read-only AI assistant access for admins: an AI app can look up mailboxes, domains and delivery, but can’t read mail or change anything. No AI writing in webmail	Zia on every paid plan at no extra cost: drafts, summaries and writing suggestions, with usage limits. An official MCP server too [1][19][20][21]
Automations	Built in: Telegram and Slack messages, signed webhooks, forwarding, automatic replies and filing. 1,000, 3,000 or 10,000 runs a month by plan	Filters for incoming and outgoing mail, webhooks and APIs, and connectors such as Zapier, Make and Power Automate. Zoho Flow is a separate Zoho product [14][15][16][18]
Reselling and partner branding	Partner pools from 75 GB, prices on request. Your name, logo, colour and support address on your clients’ admin console, sign-in page, setup pages and the emails we send them. Webmail and server names still show Patra	Reseller, MSP and ISP programmes, with partner discounts that aren’t published; ISPs are offered a white-labeled suite. In the product, the Zoho Mail logo can be replaced on Mail Premium and Workplace Professional [1][23]
Free trial	14 days, no payment details. Until your first payment: 10 GB, 100 recipients a day and 100 automation runs a month	15 days of Mail Premium or Workplace Professional, no credit card, up to 30 users and 1 domain. Then the free plan where it’s offered; elsewhere mail stops until you upgrade [2][3]
Support	By email, with a help centre of step-by-step guides	24x7 email, chat and phone support on paid plans [1][26]

Price example: five people, one year.

Five people who each keep up to 5 GB of mail, 25 GB in all. List prices checked on 16 October 2026, billed yearly, before tax.

What five people with up to 5 GB of mail each pay for a year, with the arithmetic
Plan	Arithmetic	Total a year
Zoho Mail Lite, 5 GB for each person [1]	5 users × US$1 per user per month × 12 months	US$60
Patra 25 GB plan, shared by all five	1 account × US$49 a year	US$49
Difference	US$60 − US$49	US$11 a year less with Patra

Room for 10 GB each (50 GB in all): Zoho Mail Lite 10 GB is 5 × US$1.25 × 12 = US$75 a year, and Patra’s 50 GB plan is US$79. Zoho is US$4 a year less. [1]
Zoho’s other plans for the same five people: Workplace Standard 5 × US$3 × 12 = US$180 (30 GB each, plus office apps and file storage), Mail Premium 5 × US$4 × 12 = US$240 (50 GB each) and Workplace Professional 5 × US$6 × 12 = US$360. Paid monthly, Workplace Standard is 5 × US$4 × 12 = US$240 a year. [1]
Zoho’s free plan: US$0 for up to five users where Zoho offers it, with 5 GB each, for webmail and Zoho’s phone app only (no IMAP, POP or ActiveSync). [1]
The storage isn’t the same shape. Zoho gives each person a fixed amount. Patra’s 25 GB is shared, so one person can keep more while others keep less.
Sending: on the 25 GB plan, the whole account can send to 600 recipients a day, and each address to 400 recipients an hour. Zoho sets limits per user: 50 to 500 emails an hour to outside addresses, depending on sender reputation. [2]
Taxes and currency: both add tax where it applies. Zoho shows local prices in many countries, so its price where you are may differ. [1]

How team size changes the answer

Zoho Mail Lite at US$12 per user a year (US$1 a month, billed yearly), against the Patra plan that fits the same storage.

Yearly list prices by team size and storage: Zoho Mail Lite and the Patra plan that fits
Team and storage	Zoho Mail Lite	Patra	Lower list price
2 people, 5 GB each (10 GB)	2 × US$12 = US$24	US$35: 10 GB plan, 400 recipients a day	Zoho Mail
3 people, 5 GB each (15 GB)	3 × US$12 = US$36	US$49: 25 GB plan, 600 recipients a day	Zoho Mail
5 people, 2 GB each (10 GB)	5 × US$12 = US$60, with 5 GB each	US$35: 10 GB plan, 400 recipients a day	Patra
5 people, 5 GB each (25 GB)	5 × US$12 = US$60	US$49: 25 GB plan, 600 recipients a day	Patra
10 people, 5 GB each (50 GB)	10 × US$12 = US$120	US$79: 50 GB plan, 1,000 recipients a day	Patra
20 people, 2 GB each (40 GB)	20 × US$12 = US$240, with 5 GB each	US$79: 50 GB plan, 1,000 recipients a day	Patra

At 5 GB each, Zoho Mail Lite costs less for one to four people and for six; Patra costs less for five, and for seven to ten. Beyond 50 GB in all, Patra’s price is on request. Patra’s daily sending total is shared by the whole account, while Zoho’s limits are per user. And where Zoho’s free plan is offered, up to five people pay nothing.

Switching from Zoho Mail to Patra.

Set Patra up next to Zoho Mail. Your mail keeps arriving at Zoho until you switch your MX record, which goes last.

Step 1: Start free and add your domain
Your Zoho mailboxes keep working as before.
Step 2: Add the DNS records
Add the records your admin console lists, starting with the signing key and the email policy. They don’t change where your mail goes. How to add them.
Step 3: Add your people
Create mailboxes one by one or from a CSV file. Each person chooses a password with their setup link.
Step 4: Turn on IMAP in Zoho Mail
Each person turns on IMAP access in Zoho Mail settings, and creates an app-specific password if two-factor sign-in is on. Zoho includes IMAP on its paid plans, not the free plan [1][3].
Step 5: Switch your MX record
Delete Zoho’s MX records (their names start with mx.zoho, mx2.zoho and mx3.zoho) and add the MX record from your Patra panel. New mail starts arriving at Patra.
Step 6: Bring your mail
Each person imports their Zoho mail from their setup page: they choose their Zoho region in the import list, or enter the IMAP server shown in their Zoho settings. Keep your Zoho account open until everyone has finished. Contacts move as a vCard file; filters, signatures and out-of-office replies are set up again. Move your old mail.

Questions, answered.

Something else? Write to hello@trypatra.com.

Is Patra cheaper than Zoho Mail?

It depends on team size and storage. At 5 GB each, Patra costs less for five people (its 25 GB plan is US$49 a year, against US$60 on Zoho Mail Lite: 5 × US$1 × 12 months) and for seven to ten, while Zoho Mail Lite costs less for one to four people and for six. Zoho’s free plan costs nothing for up to five users where Zoho offers it. Prices checked 16 October 2026, before tax.

Does Zoho Mail charge per user?

Yes. On Zoho’s paid plans every user is billed at the plan’s per-user rate, from US$1 per user per month billed yearly (Mail Lite, 5 GB). Patra charges per account for storage the whole team shares, so adding people doesn’t change the price.

Is Zoho Mail free, and does Patra have a free plan?

Zoho Mail has a free plan for up to five users on one domain, with 5 GB each, for webmail and Zoho’s phone app only (no IMAP, POP or ActiveSync), and only in some of Zoho’s data centres. Patra has no free plan: every plan is free for its first 14 days, with no payment details needed.

Can a team share mailbox storage on Zoho Mail or Patra?

On Patra, yes: everyone shares the plan’s 10, 25 or 50 GB, and you can give any mailbox its own limit. On Zoho Mail, storage is per user; Zoho offers pooled mail storage only on Workplace Enterprise for more than 1,000 users, and extra storage is assigned to one user at a time.

Does Patra work with Outlook and phone mail apps?

Yes, over IMAP and SMTP, with a setup page for each person and guides for iPhone, Android, Mac, Outlook and Thunderbird. Patra doesn’t offer POP3 or Exchange ActiveSync, and contacts stay in webmail. Zoho Mail offers IMAP, POP and ActiveSync on paid plans, plus its own phone and desktop apps.

Which has AI features, Zoho Mail or Patra?

Zoho Mail includes Zia on paid plans at no extra cost: it writes and summarises emails and suggests text. Zoho also offers an official MCP server for AI apps. Patra has no AI in the mailbox. It offers read-only AI assistant access for admins, so an AI app such as Claude or ChatGPT can look up mailboxes, domains and delivery, but can’t read mail or change anything.

Can I resell Zoho Mail or Patra under my own brand?

With Patra’s partner programme, one storage pool covers your team and every client, from 75 GB, with prices on request. Your name, logo, colour and support address appear on your clients’ admin console, sign-in page, setup pages and the emails we send them; webmail and server names still show Patra. Zoho runs reseller, MSP and ISP programmes and offers ISPs a white-labeled suite; in the product, Mail Premium and Workplace Professional can replace the Zoho Mail logo.

How do I move from Zoho Mail to Patra?

Set Patra up next to Zoho Mail and switch your MX record last, so mail keeps arriving at Zoho until then. Each person turns on IMAP access in Zoho Mail (Zoho includes IMAP on its paid plans), with an app-specific password if two-factor sign-in is on, and imports their mail from their Patra setup page. The Switch to Patra guide has every step.
