What it is

Zoho CRM is a full-featured sales CRM covering leads, deals, pipelines, workflow automation, forecasting and the Zia AI assistant. It suits small businesses that want room to grow, with a free edition for up to three users and paid plans from $14 per user per month billed annually. It connects natively to the wider Zoho suite and many third-party apps. The breadth comes at a cost: setup and advanced customisation take time, and reviewers report occasional bugs and slowness.

Standout capability

Enterprise-grade customisation and automation at small-business prices.
