Free user licenses across all Portal user types

Free user licenses across all Portal user types

Greetings everyone,

We're here with some exciting and extensive changes to the availability of free user licenses in CRM Portals. This update provides users with access to all Portal user types for free to help them diversify their user licenses and explore different user types at no cost.

Previously, the default setting limited businesses to creating only one Portal user type—Client Portal—and inviting a maximum of 10,000 contacts as Portal users for free. To create new user types for other modules, users had to purchase user licenses.

Since inviting only Contacts could be a setback while using Portals, we designed this enhancement to enable users to invite members from different modules to Portals and manage their access permissions for free.


Users can also set customized permissions and field permissions to all related modules and public modules to any Portal user type, free of charges.

Who can be invited?

You can invite users from the LeadsContacts, and Vendors modules, as well as those from custom modules. They can onboard various stakeholders into their Portals and control their access permissions, including viewing, editing, creating, and deleting records.

Moreover, here's another breakthrough: Organizational employees can now become Portal invitees as well.

How many users can be invited for free?

The number of free user licenses in total has been changed from 10,000 to 1,000, and applies to different Portal user types, like clients, partners, employees, or resellers.

Here is the summary of the differences between the previous version and the new release:



To add more than 1,000 users, you can purchase the required number of user licenses and invite them into the Portal. Our pricing model for these user licenses is as follows:





  • If you've already purchased Portal user licenses, you will not be charged in your next cycle for up-to 1,000 user licenses in total.
  • If you already have more than 1,000 active users in the Client Portal, we will continue to serve the same consumed count for free.
Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions regarding these changes. We're here to help!

Is this possible to display Motivator components in Zoho CRM home page ? Has someone any idea ? Thanks for your help.

I created a custom module and instead of having a name as being the primary field, I changed it to an auto-number. I didn't realise that all searches would only show this reference.

Sometimes groups, such as schools have to sign up attendees through there system and then send my organization an excel spreadsheet. Right now there doesn't seem to be a way to import those attendees. If Backstage can export to an excel file it seems like a no-brainer that one would be able to populate that template and import attendees into Backstage.

From time to time, we have to create repetitive tickets (like windows update tasks, restore simulation of backups, check firewall rules for unused entries, and so on). I guess this is a very important tool for Service/Help Desk purposes, so we doesn't have to create a internal schedule (on Microsoft Outlook or Google calendar) to remember to open a new ticket every week/month/etc.
