COMPARISON
BeigeCRM vs Zoho CRM
Zoho CRM is the value benchmark in India and the only major competitor we can compare against in the same currency, with no exchange rate to argue about.
The catch is that Zoho's sales stack is assembled from separate products — Campaigns, Bookings, Forms, Telephony — each with its own plan. Beige ships those as one product at one per-seat price.

WHERE BEIGE WINS
One product, not a suite to assemble
A full Zoho sales stack usually means CRM plus Campaigns plus Bookings plus Forms plus a telephony partner — separate plans, separate admin, separate logins, and integrations you maintain. Beige is one product where those already talk to each other.
A comparison with no exchange rate in it
Zoho is the one competitor we can price against honestly in rupees. Compare the seat math below directly: no conversion, no forex fee, no rate that moves between the day you decide and the day you're billed.
Automations without an edition jump
Zoho gates most useful workflow automation above its entry editions, and advanced logic climbs further still. Beige puts the full visual workflow builder — triggers, conditions, multi-step actions — in one plan, with no per-rule quotas to plan around.
An interface your reps won't fight
Zoho's power comes with a settings tree that rewards an administrator and punishes everyone else. Beige is built so a rep can be productive on day one and an admin can configure without a certification.
WHERE ZOHO CRM WINS
A comparison you can trust has to cut both ways. Here's where Zoho CRM is genuinely the better choice.
Breadth, and a genuinely free tier
Zoho One spans finance, HR, support, and forty-odd other apps — nobody else offers that range at that price, and Zoho CRM has a free edition for up to three users. If you want your whole company on one vendor, Zoho is a serious answer and Beige is not competing for that job.
Deep customisation and a mature ecosystem
Custom modules, Deluge scripting, sandbox environments, a large partner network, and years of enterprise hardening. If you need to model an unusual business process exactly, Zoho will bend further than we do today.
What a team actually pays
| TEAM SIZE | Beige Professional | Zoho CRM Professional |
|---|---|---|
| 5 seats | ₹4,995/mo | ₹7,000/mo |
| 10 seats | ₹9,990/mo | ₹14,000/mo |
| 25 seats | ₹24,975/mo | ₹35,000/mo |
Zoho CRM list price for Professional as published August 2026 (~₹1,400/seat/mo). Both prices in ₹, so there's no exchange rate in this comparison. Their prices change — check their pricing page. Excludes onboarding fees, add-ons, and usage overages on either side.
SWITCHING IS THE EASY PART
Export
Download contacts, companies, and deals from Zoho CRM as CSV.
Import
Beige's bulk import maps your fields and catches duplicates.
Go live
Invite the team, connect email and your number, drag the first deal.
Zoho CRM exports each module — Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Deals — as its own CSV from Setup → Data Administration → Export. Import companies first, then contacts and leads, then deals, and map Zoho's custom fields as you go.

Is BeigeCRM cheaper than Zoho CRM?
Per seat at list price, Beige Professional is below Zoho CRM Professional — and the gap grows once a full stack needs Zoho Campaigns, Bookings, and Forms as separate subscriptions. Both are priced in rupees, so the comparison in the table above is direct.
Do I need other Zoho products for a complete sales stack?
Usually, yes. Email marketing lives in Zoho Campaigns, booking pages in Zoho Bookings, lead capture in Zoho Forms, and calling comes through a telephony partner. They integrate well, but each is its own plan and its own admin surface. In Beige those are plan features.
Can I import my Zoho CRM data?
Yes. Export each module as CSV from Zoho's Data Administration screen and use Beige's bulk import — it maps columns interactively, detects duplicates by email and domain, and dry-runs the file before writing.
What does Zoho do better?
Range and configurability. Zoho One's forty-plus apps and Zoho CRM's custom modules and scripting go far beyond what we offer, and Zoho has a free tier for up to three users. If you're standardising an entire company on one vendor, that's a real advantage.
