Which should you choose, Mojobase or Zoho CRM?
Choose Zoho CRM if
- You run a sales process with pipelines, forecasting, CPQ and approval steps.
- You want a free CRM for up to three users, or a low-cost start with Bigin.
- You want Zia's prebuilt sales agents, such as an SDR, sales coach or deal analyzer.
- You already use other Zoho apps, or want QuickBooks connected on Enterprise.
Choose Mojobase if
- Nobody on your team has time to log calls and update deals, and you want the CRM to come from the work.
- You need the support inbox, invoices and email in the same place as your customers. Mojobase is built for 1 to 25 people, and it works well for teams up to 100.
- You'd rather have one price per person for every app than a CRM edition plus separate email and help desk.
What's the real difference between Mojobase and Zoho CRM?
Zoho CRM is a full sales CRM. Standard brings email integration and mass emails, built-in calling, multiple pipelines, forecasting and custom modules; Professional adds process management, inventory, CPQ, customer portals and AI agents; Enterprise adds multi-team management, approvals and a developer sandbox. It connects to more than 55 Zoho apps.
Mojobase's CRM is a by-product of the work. It finds everyone you've written to or met, groups them into companies from their web domains, and shows each person's mail, meetings, tasks, files and invoices on one page. There's nothing to log: the AI sees who's owed a reply and who's gone quiet, and drafts the follow-up. What it doesn't have is a sales process: no stages, forecasts, quotes or approvals.
Which one costs less for a small team?
Zoho CRM costs less for the CRM alone. Free covers three users; Standard is $14 a user a month billed yearly, or $20 monthly; Professional is $23 billed yearly, or $35 monthly. Zoho's simpler CRM, Bigin, starts at $7 a user billed yearly. Mojobase is $139 a month for five people, or $105 for the first 10 companies, for life.
The comparison shifts once you add what a small team also pays for. Mojobase's price includes hosted or connected email, team chat, calendar, documents, tasks, a support inbox and Stripe invoice tracking.
Where is Zoho CRM the better choice?
Zoho CRM is the better choice for a business with a real sales process. Pipelines, forecasting, CPQ, approval processes, customer journeys, predictive lead and churn scores, and prebuilt Zia agents such as a sales coach or deal analyzer are things Mojobase doesn't offer. Professional also includes inventory management, and Enterprise connects to QuickBooks. If you employ salespeople, choose Zoho CRM; if the owner sells between everything else, Mojobase keeps the relationships without the admin.
What does the AI do with your customers in Mojobase?
It does the follow-up work. Each morning it can check who's owed a reply and who's gone quiet, draft the emails and put the few that need a decision in Needs you today. Ask "who hasn't heard from us in 30 days?" in Quick actions (⌘K) and it writes to each of them in drafts, using what you last discussed. Before a call, it prepares a brief from the last emails and open tasks. It adds and edits people and companies with Undo; deleting waits for a person.
Questions people ask
Is Zoho CRM free?
Zoho CRM has a Free edition, forever free for three users, with contact management, workflow automation, standard reports, mobile apps and 5,000 API calls a day. Paid editions are Standard at $14 a user a month billed yearly, Professional at $23 and Enterprise at $40.
Does Mojobase have sales pipelines like Zoho CRM?
No. Mojobase follows people and companies rather than deals: who you last wrote to, who's waiting on a reply, who's gone quiet for 30 days and who you meet next. If you forecast from pipelines, Zoho CRM is the better fit.
Which is cheaper for five people?
Zoho CRM Standard is $70 a month for five users billed yearly, and Professional, with AI agents, is $115. Mojobase is $139 a month for five people, but that also covers email, team chat, calendar, tasks, documents, a support inbox and Stripe invoice tracking.
How does Zia compare with Mojobase's AI?
Zia builds modules, reports and workflows on request, predicts churn and lead scores, and offers prebuilt agents in the Zia Agents Store from Professional. Mojobase's AI works across email, calendar, tasks and invoices, with a model you choose from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Hermes or your own setup.
Can I bring my Zoho CRM contacts into Mojobase?
You don't need to. Connect your mailboxes and calendar, and Mojobase finds everyone you've written to or met and groups them by company. Notes, deals and custom fields kept only in Zoho CRM stay there.
