Full-featured CRM with per-module pricing. Free for 3 users, then per-user tiers from $14-$52/user/mo — but per-module add-ons, storage caps, and Zia AI costs create a hidden pricing maze.

Zoho CRM Free supports 3 users with basic contact management. Standard at $14/user/mo adds scoring rules and workflows. Professional at $23/user/mo adds Blueprint and inventory management. Enterprise at $40/user/mo adds Zia AI and multi-user portals. Ultimate at $52/user/mo adds Advanced BI. The real catch: each Zoho module (Books, Desk, Campaigns) is priced separately, storage limits are tight, and Zia AI features require Enterprise or higher.
