Summary

Zoho RPA records and automates repetitive tasks across cloud and desktop systems, including web and legacy applications. Its Recorder captures task steps to create workflows, and listed automation areas include Windows, web, Excel, files and folders, OCR, PDF, and intelligent document processing. Zia can draft workflows from plain-language instructions, with triggers, steps, error handling, and exception routing. Enterprises can connect AI features to their licensed OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini models using Bring Your Own Key. Pre-built tasks cover more than 1,000 cloud apps, but cloud app actions need a separate Zoho Flow subscription and count against Flow limits. The free plan is 0.00 USD per free and includes three executions per billing period, one production flow, and 30 days of history. Each successful run counts as an execution, and monthly execution allowances do not carry over. A flow is limited to 149 actions. Mac and Linux agents currently support web automation only; Windows, Mac, and Linux agents are listed.

Who it is for

Zoho RPA suits small teams automating repetitive tasks across cloud and desktop systems, as well as enterprises connecting AI features to licensed models. Teams relying on cloud app actions should account for the separate Zoho Flow subscription.
