Where Zoho CRM is strong

  • A very broad suite: CRM sits alongside Zoho’s books, desk, campaigns and many other apps.
  • Low entry price in rupees and a free plan for up to 3 users.
  • Deep customisation, workflows and forecasting from the Standard edition.

Where Cheetah is different

  • Field work is native in Cheetah: geofenced check-in and check-out, beats and route plans with suggested prospects, without a separate RouteIQ add-on.
  • Products with plans, one-time fees and AMC are on every Cheetah plan; quotes and price books start at Zoho’s Professional edition.
  • Cheetah ships as a ready industry setup, so a sales team is live in days without configuring a general-purpose platform.
