Few things irritate more than signing up to a SaaS product only to find that most of its features aren’t available in trial version or that it isn’t what you expected it to be. And this happening during the lockdown can be further frustrating. Nimesh Shah, a serial entrepreneur and CEO, Xebra BizTech, puts together this list of 4 SaaS applications that have a free version and will help the company work seamlessly and also not add to their expenses.

1) Zoom

Zoom allows users to carry out to collaborate and work with each. Right from organizing meeting to video conferencing, you can do it all with its free version plan. Be in touch with your customers and value add by carrying out webinars. Or use it to conduct training sessions for your teams. It has scaled up significantly during this lockdown period.
