A Zoho alternative for Indian small business

Most small businesses that look at Zoho want three things: business mail, a CRM and GST accounting. Here is how Zynkrow covers the same ground on one account.

Short answer. Zynkrow is an Indian alternative to Zoho's separate apps (Zoho Mail, Zoho CRM, Zoho Books). The workspace (mail, chat, meetings, files) is free, and the CRM and Finance suites are priced per organisation with 3 users included. The CRM and the books share one record, so a won deal becomes an invoice without copying. Zoho is the better pick if you need its very wide catalogue or integrations.

Which one fits

Choose Zynkrow if

You want chat, meetings, files and a @zynkrow.com inbox free for the whole team
You want CRM priced per organisation (₹999 a month for 3 users), not per seat
You want quotes, invoices, payments and books as one record, not separate apps connected together
You want one Indian vendor, one GST invoice a month and data stored in India

Choose Zoho apps if

You need a product Zynkrow does not have yet, such as HR and payroll
You rely on Zoho's marketplace of integrations and extensions
You need advanced CRM features such as complex territory rules or a large sales team
Your team already runs well on Zoho and the move would cost more than it saves
