We’ve just walked through every Zoho bundle, from Zoho CRM Plus to Zoho One to Zoho Solo. And now it’s time to answer the big question: Which Zoho package is actually right for you?
At TechnoMap, we help small businesses and solopreneurs figure this out all the time. The good news? There is no one-size-fits-all answer. The better news?
Zoho makes it pretty easy to scale up when you’re ready.
Here’s how to think about it.
Watch a Breakdown On Zoho Packages
First: Why Zoho One Is the Go-To Recommendation (And Why It Might Not Be Right for Everyone)
Zoho One is often the default suggestion from other consultants or from Zoho’s own team, and it makes sense.
You get access to nearly every Zoho app, which gives you the flexibility to grow into tools like Books, Creator, or Projects when the time is right.
But here’s the thing: you’re not saving money if you only ever use CRM and Cliq.
We talk to a lot of businesses who bought Zoho One because it seemed like a good deal, only to realize they’re barely scratching the surface.
Think Realistically About What You’ll Actually Use
Before you pick a plan, take stock of:
- What departments need software
- Which workflows you want to streamline
- How many users you actually need licenses for
- Whether you're going to actively use tools like billing, analytics, or HR apps
Then look at the packages that include those apps. You might find that Zoho CRM Plus, Finance Plus, or Marketing Plus give you everything you need at a better price.
Keep the Zoho One Pricing Rules in Mind
If you’re considering Zoho One, remember:
- The $45/user/month price only applies if all employees are licensed
- If not, the cost jumps to $105/user/month
- This makes a big difference if you have part-time staff or departments that don’t need Zoho access
That’s why we recommend comparing costs honestly — not just based on the dream of “we might use it someday.”
Start Small — You Can Always Upgrade
One of the best things about Zoho is that you’re never locked in.
- You can buy individual apps à la carte if you only need one tool (like CRM, Books, or People)
- You can start with a focused bundle and upgrade to Zoho One later
- Zoho even credits what you’ve already paid toward your upgrade
This makes it safe to experiment, scale, and find your rhythm before committing to the full suite.
