Zoho CRM alternative
A Zoho CRM alternative that includes invoicing and accounts
Zoho CRM is a capable CRM — and only a CRM. Invoicing, accounting and HR are separate Zoho products. Grovia includes the CRM and the rest of the business, so a won deal becomes an invoice, a project and a payment without switching apps.
Zoho CRM in brief
Zoho CRM is one of the most widely used CRMs among small businesses, with a free plan for up to 3 users and paid plans priced per user per month. It is strong on sales automation, customisation and integrations.
For billing and books you add Zoho Books; for HR, Zoho People. Each is priced separately.
How Grovia is different
- The CRM is joined to GST invoicing and double-entry accounts — no sync between two products.
- Projects, HR & payroll, field staff and support tickets are included in the same price.
- One flat price for up to 5, 15 or 40 users.
- WhatsApp enquiries can become leads in one click (via the WhatsApp Business Cloud API).

What Grovia does not do
So you don't buy the wrong tool:
- No stock, warehouse or manufacturing management (no MRP or bills of materials). Grovia is built for service businesses — agencies, consultants, CA and law firms, IT and field-service companies.
- GST returns are prepared and exported for filing; Grovia does not file them for you, and e-invoices are uploaded manually.
- It is a single cloud product, not a platform you customise with code or host on your own servers.
Frequently asked questions
Is Grovia's CRM as powerful as Zoho CRM?
Zoho CRM has more advanced sales automation and customisation. Grovia's CRM covers leads, pipeline, follow-ups, quotations and the client record, and its advantage is that invoicing, accounts, projects and HR are part of the same product.
How much would a 10-person team save?
At list prices on 23 October 2026 before GST, Zoho CRM Standard for 10 users is ₹8,000 a month for the CRM alone; Grovia Growth is ₹4,999 a month for up to 15 users with every module.
Can I import my Zoho data?
Contacts, invoices, bills and items import directly from Zoho Books. Leads and contacts from Zoho CRM can be brought in through a spreadsheet export.
