Leave Zoho. Keep the data, lose the sprawl.
Zoho One sells you 40+ apps. Most teams use 4. We replace the CRM with something focused, owned, and integrated only where it matters.

Why teams leave Zoho
The four reasons we hear most often.
Reason 01
Surface area sprawl
Zoho's strategy is product breadth. Yours probably isn't. The cost of switching costs is paid in admin time, not just license.
Reason 02
AI features (Zia) behind tiers
Zia is gated to higher tiers. Predictions, recommendations, and chat AI all push you toward CRM Plus or Zoho One.
Reason 03
Customization in Deluge
Custom logic in Zoho is written in their proprietary scripting language. Hiring for it is brutal.
The math
What Zoho actually costs.
Public list pricing plus the add-ons most teams end up buying. Implementation and admin overhead extra.
| Line item | Cost |
|---|---|
CRM Enterprise | $52 / seat / mo |
Zoho One bundle | $45 / employee / mo |
Zia AI add-on | $$ tier-locked |
| Real all-in | ~$95 effective per seat all-in |
What we migrate
Every record.
Every field.
Specifically, from Zoho CRM. Nothing is left behind to "migrate later."
- Modules: Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Deals, custom modules
- Blueprints, workflows, approval processes
- Custom layouts and validation rules
- Email integrations (SalesIQ, Campaigns)
- Deluge scripts (re-implemented in TypeScript or Python)
- Zia predictions and lead scoring data
Our recommendation
Replace Zoho with EspoCRM (open source).
EspoCRM's module structure mirrors Zoho's most closely — same module/field paradigm, same workflow engine concept, but on standard tech (PHP/MySQL or PostgreSQL) and yours to fork.
Not the right fit?
We also build fully bespoke CRMs, deploy Twenty / EspoCRM / NocoBase to other variants, and integrate with whatever you're keeping. The audit covers the choice.
