Zoho Campaigns: User reviews, pricing & features

Zoho Campaigns is the email marketing product within the Zoho software suite — it qualifies for this catalog as a standalone email product, not a CRM core. We verified the product page at zoho.com/campaigns/ directly in August 2026.

It set the price floor of our marketing capture: Standard costs €7/month (pricing geo-served in EUR, no USD option) at 1,000 contacts with unlimited emails. The free plan covers 2,000 contacts but caps sends at 6,000 per month, below our 10,000-email normalization target. Pricing checked 19 August 2026.

Scored 0–100 from public evidence: an official MCP server weighs most (40, +5 when hosted), then official agent skills, AI assistant apps, AI-friendly docs and built-in AI features. "Not found" means we couldn't locate it on Zoho Campaigns's public pages or the official MCP registry, not that it can't exist. This is context, never part of the Deliverability Score.
