Yes. Zoho Books displays monthly and yearly pricing, and the yearly column is labeled "Save More" on the pricing pages. For each paid tier, the billed-annually price is lower than the month-to-month price. The pages also note that prices are exclusive of local taxes, so the final invoice can differ by jurisdiction.
The plan table shows included user counts rather than seat minimums. Free includes 1 user plus 1 accountant, Standard includes 3 users, Professional includes 5 users, Premium and Elite include 10 users, and Ultimate includes 15 users. Additional users can be purchased separately through the user add-on.
