What Zoho DataPrep is

Zoho DataPrep is a cloud data preparation and ETL platform for connecting, cleaning, transforming, enriching, and moving data. Its no-code studio includes more than 250 transforms for reshaping and blending datasets. Ask Zia takes natural-language instructions, can generate transformations, and can help schedule data pipelines. Zoho lists more than 70 data sources, including Zoho CRM, Zoho Analytics, Salesforce, Google Drive, OneDrive, and Snowflake. Pipelines can run hourly, and failed jobs can be backfilled. The Free plan allows one user and 20,000 processed rows per month, with manual imports and exports only. Rows in imported and intermediate datasets count toward monthly usage, which resets each billing cycle. DataPrep is available through web and API. The Free plan includes email and forum support. Paid service starts at $40/mo (annual), and a 15-day trial is listed.
