Why small businesses switch
Fewer settings, more selling.
Zoho can be shaped to almost any process. Bizora already fits the process most small businesses use: quote, follow up, win.
Every feature on Free
Bizora’s Free plan includes deals, follow-ups, call logging, documents, the calendar and team roles.
One price for the team
Business is £19.99 a month for the workspace with five users included, rather than a price per user.
Which suits you
An honest answer.
Both are good tools for different businesses. Here is how to tell which one fits yours.
Choose Bizora if
- You want a CRM that works without configuration
- You are a sole trader or a team of up to 500
- You want one flat price for the whole team
- You want the free plan to include every feature
Choose Zoho CRM if
- You want to tailor modules, layouts and workflows
- You already use other Zoho apps
- You need a third user on a free plan
- You need advanced reporting, forecasting or territories
The detail
How Bizora and Zoho CRM differ.
Configurable or ready-made
Zoho CRM’s strength is how far it can be shaped to your process. Bizora takes the opposite approach: a small set of features that suit most small businesses, ready from the first minute.
Free plans compared
Zoho’s free edition allows three users. Bizora’s Free plan allows two users with 250 companies, 250 contacts and every feature, and you can add a seat for £1 a month.
How the price grows
Zoho CRM charges per user, with features unlocking on higher editions. Bizora includes every feature on every plan and charges per workspace.
Moving across
Export accounts and contacts from Zoho CRM as a CSV, then upload them to Bizora. The importer matches the columns and links people to their companies.
