In short Free plan for up to 3 users; 15-day trial of paid editions, no card. The lowest paid plan is Standard at $14 per seat a month billed yearly, or $20 billed monthly.

In short Of the 10 CRM features we compare, Zoho CRM has 6 in full and 4 in part.

• The Free edition covers up to 3 users with contact management, workflow automation, standard reports and 5,000 API calls a day.
• Standard, at $14 per user a month billed annually, adds multiple pipelines, sales forecasting, email and calendar integration, built-in calling and data enrichment.
• Cadences run multi-step follow-ups over email, calls, tasks and WhatsApp, from 20 cadences per module on Standard.
• Professional adds CPQ with price rules, quotes, invoices, inventory management and web-to-case forms that turn issues into support tickets.
• Paid editions come with a 15-day free trial, no credit card required.

• The Free edition has no forecasting or cadences and stores up to 5,000 records.
• Mass email is capped per org, 250 a day on Standard and 2,000 on Ultimate; Zoho points campaigns to Zoho Campaigns.
• Quotes, CPQ and the Cases module start on Professional, $23 per user a month billed annually or $35 month-to-month.
• Data enrichment works on records you already have: 500 per user on Standard to Enterprise, 50,000 at most.

In short Zoho CRM is a cloud CRM from Zoho for managing sales and marketing activity across an organization, sold per user in Free, Standard, Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate editions.

• You want a free CRM for up to 3 users and a low per-seat price as the team grows.
• You need quotes, CPQ price rules and inventory in the same CRM.
• You already use Zoho apps such as Zoho Desk or Zoho Campaigns.

In short Ken's view: worth it for small and mid-size sales teams buying per seat on a budget, less so for teams that want prospect data and LinkedIn outreach built in.

• USD prices on the US pricing page, per user a month; local taxes are added on top.
• No contracts: pay monthly or yearly and change plans any time.
• Mass email: 250 a day per org on Standard, 500 on Professional, 1,000 on Enterprise, 2,000 on Ultimate.
• Data enrichment: 500 records per user on Standard to Enterprise, 2,000 on Ultimate, 50,000 records at most.
• Lite users can be added to Enterprise and Ultimate with at least 25 regular user licenses.
• Zoho CRM Plus, a sales, marketing and service bundle, starts at $20 per user a month.
