Zoho Expense: Itemized receipt OCR moves from Premium-only to Standard
What happened
Between the Jul 27, 2026 and Aug 3, 2026 captures of Zoho's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Itemized AI-powered OCR receipt capture, previously Premium-exclusive ("Itemized receipt Autoscan"), is now included in the Standard plan feature list, replacing the flat "20 Autoscan per user" quota wording. In detail: Itemized AI-powered OCR receipt capture, previously exclusive to the Premium plan ('Itemized receipt Autoscan'), is now included in the Standard plan feature list, replacing the flat '20 Autoscan per user' quota wording. Pulse files it as a product change (feature change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Sep 14, 2026) lists Standard at $3, Premium at $5, Self Booking - Travel at $9.99 per trip, Premium Support at $490 and Jumpstart at $500 subscription.
It lands 125 days after Zoho's previous change, "Zoho Expense integrates Zoho Spend modules for unified spend management" (Apr 1, 2026).
