What it is

Zoho Books is cloud accounting software covering invoicing, bank feeds, expenses, inventory and multi-currency, with workflow automation and a client portal. It connects closely with the wider Zoho suite and has a free plan for businesses under $50K annual revenue. Plans cap the number of users and unlock many features only on higher tiers, and some reviewers find bank feeds and reports unreliable or rigid.

Standout capability

Deep workflow automation and Zoho suite integration at low flat prices.
