One vendor publishes rupees, the other publishes a call to sales

Salesforce vs Zoho CRM for an Indian SMB: two price lists, two currencies, and one page with no prices on it at all

An Indian small and medium business comparing these two is usually comparing a published rupee price against a published dollar price, and the honest answer is that the two numbers are not the same kind of object. Zoho CRM prints a price list in rupees, per user per month, on two billing cycles, plus a free edition for three users. Salesforce prints a price list in US dollars, per user per month, four of its five editions billed annually. And Salesforce’s own India pricing page, which exists and loaded, prints no price whatsoever: every product card on it is a Contact Sales link. We are not going to fill that hole with a remembered number, and we are not going to convert one currency into another to make the table look finished.

NoxOrigin makes neither of the two products compared here, and that is the honest version of the disclosure. We publish this page and we are a vendor, so we are naming our interest anyway: NoxOrigin appears in this article only as a short, clearly-bounded note at the end. We will not pretend that our platform out-matures a fifteen-year-old enterprise CRM, and we do not, because both products on this page are far more established than we are. Last verified: 4 October 2026. Every Salesforce figure on this page comes from salesforce.com/sales/pricing/ and every Zoho CRM figure from zoho.com/crm/pricing.html plus the price data file that page loads at runtime. We publish zero Salesforce rupee figures, because Salesforce’s India pricing page publishes none. We have run no trial of either product, so nothing here is drawn from hands-on use.

Evidence and method

What we verified, and what we could not

What we verified

Salesforce, from its own Sales pricing page at salesforce.com/sales/pricing/. We read all five edition amounts with their per-user-per-month suffix and their billing notes, the six add-on prices, the trial terms, and the absence of any free tier.

Zoho CRM, from its own pricing page at zoho.com/crm/pricing/. We read the free edition, the yearly discount statement and the tax sentence from the page, and the monthly and yearly rupee figures from the price data file the page loads at runtime, which we have disclosed as a data file rather than a page.

What we could not verify

Any Indian price for Salesforce. Its India pricing page at salesforce.com/in/pricing returned HTTP 200 and is genuinely the Indian edition, but the rupee sign, the string INR and the word rupee each appear zero times in it, as does the price field the United States pages use. It is seven Contact Sales cards. So the Salesforce column on this page carries dollar figures and an explicit blank where an Indian figure would go.

We also did not resolve a second question: whether either product handles Indian statutory invoicing. Neither pricing page we read contains the relevant text, so rather than carry a figure across from another Zoho page we publish no GST capability for either vendor and tell you to ask them in writing.

Dimension by dimension

What each one actually is

Read the currency row first, because everything downstream of it is affected. Salesforce’s published figures are United States dollars and its Indian page publishes no figure at all. Zoho CRM’s published figures are rupees on a page whose rendered currency was rupees. We have not converted either one, and where a cell would need a currency the other vendor does not publish, we have left it saying so.

Dimension	Zoho CRM (verified 4 October 2026)	Salesforce (verified 4 October 2026)
Currency the vendor publishes	Indian rupees. The page renders rupee figures and its currency selector lists USD, INR, EUR, GBP, JPY, SGD, AUD, AED, SAR, MXN, ZAR, NGN, KES, EGP and CAD.	US dollars on its Sales pricing page, with per-edition localised amounts in other currencies attached to each card. Its India pricing page publishes no currency and no price at all.
Price published for the Indian market	Yes, in rupees, per user per month, on both billing cycles. The page is the India-facing Zoho CRM pricing page and the figures below are its own.	No figure. `salesforce.com/in/pricing` returned HTTP 200 as the Indian edition, but the rupee sign, INR and rupee appear zero times, the price field appears zero times, and every card is a Contact Sales or Request a call link. An Indian buyer needs a quote.
Monthly-billing price, per user per month	Standard INR 1,300, Professional INR 2,100, Enterprise INR 3,000, Ultimate INR 3,200. Read from the price data file the page loads at runtime, which we disclose as a data file rather than a page.	One edition only is published as available on monthly billing: Starter Suite at US$25 per user per month, marked “Billed monthly or annually”. The other four are marked billed annually, and we publish no monthly-cycle figure for them because Salesforce does not.
Yearly-billing price, per user per month	Standard INR 800, Professional INR 1,400, Enterprise INR 2,400, Ultimate INR 2,600, with the page stating a saving of up to 34 percent. These are the figures the page shows by default, which is why both cycles are published here.	Pro Suite US$100, Core US$195, Advanced US$395, Max US$550, each per user per month and each marked “Billed annually”. Starter Suite at US$25 is published on both cycles.
What the entry edition is	ZohoCRM Free, priced at zero, limited to three users, described on the page as “100% free forever”, with leads, deals, workflows, reports and a mobile app. The paid entry point above it is Standard.	Starter Suite at US$25 per user per month, described by Salesforce as “an all-in-one CRM designed for small businesses, bringing together sales, service, marketing and commerce tools”, and as including Slack at no extra cost. There is no free Salesforce CRM edition on the page.
Free option and trials	A permanent free edition for three users, not a time-limited one. We publish no invoice, contact or storage limit for it, because the page states a user limit and nothing further that we extracted.	Trials only, and the distinction is the point: “a free 30-day trial for all Sales Cloud editions” and a “free 30-day trial of Starter Suite for up to 10 users”, with “No credit card, no installations”. We publish no free Salesforce tier and make no claim about what a trial becomes.
Add-on and related-product prices	The page we read carries the edition list and the currency selector. We publish no separate add-on figure for Zoho CRM from this page, because we did not extract one and we will not carry a number across from a different Zoho product’s page.	Published, and we separate them from the edition prices because they are different products: Agentforce for Sales from US$125 per user per month, Sales Programs from US$100, Revenue Intelligence from US$220, Revenue Cloud from US$200, Partner Relationship Management from US$10 per login per month, Slack Business+ as an additional US$25 per user per month.
Taxes	One sentence, quoted exactly: “Local taxes (VAT, GST, etc.) will be charged in addition to the prices mentioned.” The page publishes no CGST and SGST split, no IGST treatment and no tax-inclusive total.	We extracted no tax sentence from the Sales pricing page, so we publish no Salesforce tax statement, and we do not import Zoho’s sentence across to it. For an Indian buyer this is one of the questions to put to Salesforce directly, alongside the price.
GST, e-invoicing and statutory filing	Not published on the page we read. We publish no GST, e-invoicing, e-way-bill or return-filing capability for Zoho CRM, and we flag that as a limit of a pricing page rather than a claim about the product.	Not published on the page we read either, and the same caveat applies. We publish no GST capability for Salesforce on this page. If statutory invoicing decides your purchase, ask both vendors in writing.
What the editions are described as being for	The page describes the free edition in terms of leads, deals, workflows, reports and a mobile app. We publish no Salesforce description in the Zoho column and no Zoho description in the Salesforce column, and we do not paraphrase either vendor’s positioning beyond what each page states.	In the vendor’s own words: Starter Suite is “The smart CRM suite with even more sales, service, marketing – plus commerce”; Core is “The CRM for sales with built-in AI, Slack, Tableau, and Agentforce skills to keep every deal moving”; Max is “The most complete Sales platform uniting AI, CRM, and data to help every seller hit quota”.
How you get a price in India	Read it off the page. That is the whole point of a published list price, and it means you can budget before you talk to anyone.	You contact them. The page routes to Contact Sales and to a “Talk to an expert” card with a Request a call link, and its India edition does the same with seven such cards. A sales conversation is the normal route to an Indian price, which is a real difference in how the two purchases start.
Maturity and scale	A long-established vendor with a five-edition price list across fifteen currencies and a free edition it describes as free forever. We publish no customer count, revenue figure or market share for Zoho, because we verified none.	A long-established enterprise vendor whose published editions include named AI, analytics and data-platform products alongside the CRM. We publish no customer count, revenue figure or market share for Salesforce, and we make no quality judgement from the length of that list.

Where Zoho CRM is the better buy

When the deciding factor is a price you can read, in rupees, today

For an Indian small and medium business, Zoho CRM is the better buy on the evidence in front of us, and the reason is not that it is cheaper. It is that it publishes. Standard is INR 1,300 per user per month on monthly billing, INR 800 on yearly, in the currency you will actually be invoiced in, from a page that states its own tax position: local taxes charged in addition. You can build a budget from that this afternoon without talking to anybody.

It is also the better buy when continuity of cost matters more than depth of product. The free edition is described as “100% free forever” for three users, which is a categorically different proposition from a thirty-day trial. A three-person business that needs a CRM but cannot justify a seat today can use that indefinitely, and can move up to Standard when the pipeline justifies it, with the price delta already published.

The honest caveat is that a published price is not the same as a good fit. Zoho CRM’s page is a pricing page, and this page does not assert that it will satisfy a complex enterprise requirement, because we did not read anything that would let us say so.

Where Salesforce is the better buy

When you need the ecosystem, or you need someone to answer

Salesforce is the better buy in at least three situations, and none of them is decided by price. The first is ecosystem. The page sells Revenue Cloud from US$200 per user per month, Revenue Intelligence from US$220, Agentforce for Sales from US$125, Slack Business+ as an additional US$25, and Partner Relationship Management from US$10 per login per month. An organisation that already runs on that stack is not choosing between two CRMs, it is choosing whether to consolidate, and for that buyer the depth is the point.

The second is governance and scale. The published edition ladder runs to Core at US$195, Advanced at US$395 and Max at US$550 per user per month, billed annually, and the page describes Max as uniting AI, CRM and data for a seller working to quota. If your requirement is a controlled, multi-team sales operation with the vendor&rsquo's own enterprise layer behind it, that ladder is the reason to buy here rather than anywhere cheaper.

The third, and the one that catches people out, is that a sales-led purchase is not a failure to publish. Salesforce’s India page publishes no price, which means an Indian buyer gets a quote rather than a list, and for a business that wants a negotiated commitment on terms, onboarding and support, that conversation may be worth having. What it also means is that you cannot budget from this page, and you should not let anyone fill that gap with a number they remember.

For an Indian buyer

What actually decides this purchase in India

The currency gap is the first thing and it is not a detail. Salesforce publishes dollars, and its India page publishes nothing, so any rupee figure you have seen attributed to Salesforce on an Indian blog, reseller page or comparison article did not come from Salesforce’s own site as far as we could verify on 4 October 2026. Zoho CRM publishes rupees and publishes its tax position on the same page. If you are making this decision on cost, you are comparing a number you can verify against a number that does not exist, and the only honest way to close that gap is a quote from Salesforce.

Per-user pricing punishes an Indian SMB in a specific way

Both products are priced per user per month, which means the bill is a function of headcount rather than of how hard the work is. An Indian business with a wide junior sales team pays more on either product than one with the same revenue and half the seats. Zoho CRM’s ladder starts at INR 1,300 monthly or INR 800 yearly for Standard, and Salesforce’s entry published figure is US$25 on Starter Suite with its paid ladder starting at US$100 for Pro Suite. We are not converting between them. The structural point stands on its own: count the seats that genuinely need the CRM before you read either price list, because on both products the seat count is the price.

Free forever and free for thirty days are not the same product

Zoho CRM publishes a free edition for three users described as free forever. Salesforce publishes a thirty-day trial, for all Sales Cloud editions, and a separate thirty-day trial of Starter Suite for up to ten users, with no credit card and no installation. Both are real offers, and the difference is the whole question for a small team: a trial ends on a date, a free edition does not. If your constraint is that you cannot justify a paid seat yet, one of these two vendors has published a way to run for free indefinitely and the other has published a way to try something for a month.

What neither page answers, and who to ask

Neither pricing page we read contains e-invoicing, e-way-bill or return-filing text for either vendor, and neither states a CGST and SGST split. We publish no GST capability and no tax treatment for Salesforce at all, because we did not find any on the page we read and we will not carry Zoho’s tax sentence across to it. We are not telling you what Indian law requires of your business, what your deadlines are, or what format a submission must take; that is your chartered accountant’s conversation. But if invoicing compliance decides this purchase, it decides it through a question to each vendor and to your accountant, not through a pricing page, because a pricing page is not where that answer lives. Read the Zoho CRM versus HubSpot comparison for an Indian SMB for the same question against a third vendor, and the Freshworks versus Zoho CRM comparison for two CRMs compared on their own published currencies without converting either.

Who should choose which

Match the product to the buyer situation

A three-person team that needs a CRM and cannot justify a seat yet

Zoho CRM’s free edition, because it is the only genuinely free option published by either vendor on the pages we read. Three users, priced at zero, described as free forever, with leads, deals, workflows, reports and a mobile app. Salesforce’s thirty-day trial is a different thing and you should treat it as one.

A business that wants to budget before it buys anything

Zoho CRM, for the simple reason that its price is on its own page in your own currency with the tax position stated. Build the budget from Standard at INR 1,300 per user per month on monthly billing or INR 800 on yearly, add the tax the page says will be added, and you have a number you can put in front of a partner. Salesforce cannot give you that from its India page, because that page has no number on it.

A sales organisation already living in the Salesforce ecosystem

Salesforce, and consolidation is the argument rather than capability. If Revenue Cloud, Revenue Intelligence, Agentforce for Sales, Slack Business+ or Partner Relationship Management are already in your stack, the per-user prices on the page are additions to a decision you have largely made. The published figures are US$200, US$220, US$125, an additional US$25 and US$10 per login per month respectively, and you should confirm each with Salesforce rather than budget from this page.

A multi-team sales operation that needs enterprise governance

Salesforce, on the published edition ladder: Core at US$195, Advanced at US$395 and Max at US$550 per user per month, all billed annually, with Salesforce describing Max as the most complete Sales platform uniting AI, CRM and data. Whether that depth is worth four figures per seat per year is your judgement, not ours, and it is a question about your sales operation rather than about software.

A buyer who needs a negotiated Indian commitment

Start a conversation with Salesforce, because its India page routes every product to Contact Sales and publishes no list price to argue against. That is a legitimate reason to buy, and it is also the reason this page publishes no Salesforce rupee figure: we have nothing to quote. Get the quote, get the tax treatment in writing, and then bring it back to a comparison like this one with two real numbers in it.

A business whose deciding constraint is statutory GST invoicing

Neither, on the evidence here, because neither pricing page we read contains the answer. We publish no GST capability for either vendor rather than importing one from a different page. Put the question to both in writing, take the answer to your chartered accountant, and treat any comparison that claims to know their Indian compliance position from a pricing page with suspicion. Read the GST billing software versus ERP comparison if the real question is which category of tool you are shopping for.

Full disclosure

Where NoxOrigin fits, which is: not in this comparison

We publish this page and we make neither of the two products compared on it. This is the comparison on this site where that admission matters most, and we would rather make it forcefully than quietly. Both products on this page are mature, widely deployed CRMs, and NoxOrigin is a young commercial record. We are not going to publish a platform price next to their per-user prices and let the arithmetic imply we are a substitute.

NoxOrigin has no general ledger. It does not do double-entry bookkeeping, a chart of accounts, a trial balance, or a balance sheet. Bank reconciliation and day-end close are assisted-setup maturity rather than something you switch on. It does not file GST returns, TDS, or any return for you, and it makes no compliance or certification claim of any kind. There is no timesheet record and no payroll module; expenses are Nox-Billings only and purchasing lives in Commerce, both of which are scoped custom deployments. There is no change-request record, no milestone record, no deliverable record, no contract editor and no e-signature, so a scope change is a new quote on the same project. Merge policy is a setup decision: detection flags candidates and a human reviews them, it is never automatic. And an invoice and a payment are different records, with “paid” being a projection of allocations rather than a stored flag.

What our platform plans cost, from our own pricing page, is Starter at INR 800 per month for three users in one workspace, Growth at INR 1,600 for ten users, and Agency at INR 5,000 for twenty-five users across three workspaces, and that is the platform only. NoxCRM, Nox-Billings and Nox-Tickets are scoped custom deployments and must never carry the platform price, so we publish no list price for any of them here. See the NoxOrigin platform plans in INR if you are curious what the platform is. For the buying question on this page it is the wrong category, and if either of these two products fits your operation, buy one of them.

There is one narrow case where our answer is not simply “buy one of them”, and we would rather state it than have someone infer it. If the thing that hurts is not lead management but the gap between the quote, the project, the invoice and the collection sitting in four separate systems, then a CRM is not what fixes it, and reading either pricing page will not answer your question. Name the problem in those words before you compare anything, and only then decide whether you need a CRM at all.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask us first

What does Salesforce cost?

On its United States pricing page, Salesforce publishes five editions per user per month, and four of the five are explicitly annual. Starter Suite at US$25 per user per month, marked as billed monthly or annually. Pro Suite at US$100 per user per month, billed annually. Core at US$195 per user per month, billed annually. Advanced at US$395 per user per month, billed annually. Max at US$550 per user per month, billed annually. The page's own FAQ states it in prose as 'Starter Suite costs $25 USD per user, per month.' It also publishes separate add-on prices, including Agentforce for Sales from US$125 per user per month, Sales Programs from US$100, Revenue Intelligence from US$220, Revenue Cloud from US$200, Partner Relationship Management from US$10 per login per month, and Slack Business+ as an additional US$25 per user per month. Those add-on figures are 'from' prices for separate products, not the price of Sales Cloud itself.

What does Salesforce cost in India?

We publish no Indian rupee figure for Salesforce at all, because its India pricing page publishes none. We requested https://www.salesforce.com/in/pricing on 4 October 2026. It returned HTTP 200 and the page is titled 'Salesforce Pricing: See Pricing Plans for All Salesforce Products | Salesforce IN', but the rupee sign, the string INR and the word rupee each appear zero times in the HTML we received, and so does the price field the other Salesforce pages use. Every product card on that page is a Contact Sales or Request a call link. So an Indian buyer has three options and we would rank them like this: contact Salesforce for a quote, read the US dollar list prices and do your own conversion, or buy a product that publishes rupees. We do the conversion for nobody on this page, and we do not estimate what an Indian contract would cost.

What does Zoho CRM cost?

Zoho CRM publishes a free edition priced at zero and limited to three users, and four paid editions per user per month, in rupees, on two billing cycles. On monthly billing: Standard INR 1,300, Professional INR 2,100, Enterprise INR 3,000, Ultimate INR 3,200. On yearly billing: Standard INR 800, Professional INR 1,400, Enterprise INR 2,400, Ultimate INR 2,600. The page states a saving of up to 34 percent with yearly plans, and states that local taxes, in its words 'Local taxes (VAT, GST, etc.) will be charged in addition to the prices mentioned.' One warning that matters: the Zoho CRM page opens with the yearly position active, so a reader who does not touch the toggle sees INR 800, 1,400, 2,400 and 2,600. Those are yearly-billing figures per user per month, not monthly-billing prices, and an earlier version of a page on this site got that wrong. Both cycles are published here for that reason.

Is Salesforce or Zoho CRM cheaper?

On their published figures, and only in the sense of comparing a dollar price with a rupee price, which we are not going to do for you. Zoho CRM publishes INR 1,300 per user per month for Standard on monthly billing and INR 800 on yearly billing. Salesforce publishes US$25 per user per month for Starter Suite, US$100 for Pro Suite, US$195 for Core, US$395 for Advanced and US$550 for Max, four of those five billed annually. Salesforce publishes no rupee figure on its India page at all. We convert none of it and assert no rupee equivalence for Salesforce anywhere on this page. Your actual cost in rupees depends on the exchange rate on the day, which legal entity invoices you, whether GST applies to that invoice, and for Salesforce specifically on what a sales conversation produces, because its India page publishes no list price to anchor one.

Which one has a free tier?

Zoho CRM does. Its page carries a free edition priced at zero, limited to three users, described as '100% free forever', with leads, deals, workflows, reports and a mobile app. Salesforce does not publish a free tier on the pricing page we read. What it publishes instead is trials: 'a free 30-day trial for all Sales Cloud editions', and a 'free 30-day trial of Starter Suite for up to 10 users'. The distinction is worth holding onto, because a thirty-day trial ends and a three-user free edition does not. An Indian business that needs a CRM continuously but cannot justify a paid seat today has a genuinely free option from one of these two vendors and only a time-limited one from the other.

Can either of them run an Indian business's GST invoicing?

We are not going to tell you what the law requires of your business, because that is a conversation with your chartered accountant rather than with a marketing page. Here is only what the two pages we read contain. The Zoho CRM pricing page we fetched publishes a price list, a free edition, a currency selector and one tax sentence, and the strings e-invoicing, e-way bill, GSTR and return filing do not appear in the content we extracted from it, so this page publishes no GST capability for Zoho CRM. We are explicit that this is a limit of what we read from a pricing page and not a statement that Zoho CRM lacks GST features, because a pricing page is not a product manual. If statutory invoicing decides your purchase, put the question to each vendor in writing and get the answer from them.

Is NoxOrigin a cheaper alternative to either of these?

No, and it is not in the same category. Both products on this page are mature, long-established CRMs, and we are not going to pretend otherwise to make our own platform look competitive. NoxOrigin has no general ledger, does not do double-entry bookkeeping and does not file GST returns or any statutory return. Bank reconciliation and day-end close are assisted-setup maturity rather than a self-serve switch. There is no timesheet record and no payroll module; expenses are Nox-Billings only and purchasing lives in Commerce, both of which are scoped custom deployments. Merge policy is a setup decision, where detection flags candidates and a human reviews them. An invoice and a payment are different records, with paid being a projection of allocations. Our published platform pricing is Starter at INR 800 per month for three users, Growth at INR 1,600 for ten, and Agency at INR 5,000 for twenty-five users across three workspaces, and that is the platform only, with NoxCRM, Nox-Billings and Nox-Tickets as scoped custom deployments carrying no list price.

Sources checked

What we read, and what we could not

Read on 4 October 2026. Two deliberate imbalances run through this page and we would rather name them than let the table look symmetrical. First, Salesforce publishes United States dollars and no rupee figure anywhere we could read, including on its own India pricing page, which exists, loaded successfully, and contains no price at all. Second, we publish no GST or statutory-filing capability for either vendor, because neither pricing page we read contains the relevant text, and we will not carry a figure or a capability across from another page. One further disclosure: Zoho CRM’s monthly rupee figures come from the price data file its own pricing page loads at runtime, not from a document a reader would see, and we have said so in the source note rather than presenting it as a page. We publish no customer count, market share or review score for any product, convert no currency anywhere on this page, and give no tax or compliance advice.

Salesforce

Salesforce Sales pricing page, the five published per-user editions, read 4 October 2026

The page requested was https://www.salesforce.com/sales/pricing/, titled 'Salesforce Sales Pricing | Salesforce'. It publishes five edition cards, each carrying an amount, a '/User/Month' suffix and a billing note. Starter Suite: US$25 per user per month, marked '(Billed monthly or annually)'. Pro Suite: US$100 per user per month, '(Billed annually)'. Core: US$195 per user per month, '(Billed annually)'. Advanced: US$395 per user per month, '(Billed annually)'. Max: US$550 per user per month, '(Billed annually)'. The page's own FAQ repeats the entry figure in prose: 'Starter Suite costs $25 USD per user, per month. It's an all-in-one CRM designed for small businesses, bringing together sales, service, marketing and commerce tools.' Each card also carries a vendor description: Starter Suite is 'The smart CRM suite with even more sales, service, marketing - plus commerce'; Core is 'The CRM for sales with built-in AI, Slack, Tableau, and Agentforce skills to keep every deal moving'; Max is 'The most complete Sales platform uniting AI, CRM, and data to help every seller hit quota'. Currency is US dollars throughout and the page states no rupee figure.

Salesforce Sales pricing page, the published add-on prices, which are not Sales Cloud prices

These are separate products listed on the same page, and we separate them from the edition prices above so nobody reads a 'from' price as the cost of Sales Cloud. Agentforce for Sales: 'From $125 USD/user/month'. Sales Programs: 'From $100 USD/user/month'. Revenue Intelligence: 'From $220 USD/user/month'. Revenue Cloud: 'From $200 USD/user/month'. Partner Relationship Management: 'From $10 USD/login/month', which is priced per login rather than per user. Slack Business+ is carried on the page as 'Additional $25 USD/user/month'. The page's own words on the entry product are 'costs $25 USD per user, per month'.

Salesforce trials and free-tier position, from the same page

The page publishes no free CRM edition. It publishes trials, in these words: 'Salesforce offers a free 30-day trial for all Sales Cloud editions, with simple setup so you can get started quickly and explore key sales capabilities', and separately a 'free 30-day trial of Starter Suite for up to 10 users'. It also states 'Try Sales Cloud free for 30 days. No credit card, no installations.' The page links a 'Contact Sales' route in its header and a 'Talk to an expert' card with a 'Request a call' link. We publish no Salesforce free tier on this page and no claim about what a trial converts into.

Salesforce's India pricing page, checked 4 October 2026, and why it contributes no figure

We requested https://www.salesforce.com/in/pricing. It returned HTTP 200 and is titled 'Salesforce Pricing: See Pricing Plans for All Salesforce Products | Salesforce IN', so the page exists and is the Indian edition. It contributes nothing to this comparison, and the reason is a finding rather than a failure: the rupee sign, the string INR and the word rupee each appear zero times in the HTML we received, the price-amount field that the United States pages use appears zero times, and there are zero pricing-edition cards on the page. Instead it carries seven Contact Sales and Request a call cards. So we publish zero Salesforce rupee figures, no remembered Indian price, and no estimated contract value. This is an absence of published Indian list pricing, not evidence that Salesforce cannot sell in India, and any Indian buyer needs a quote.

Zoho

Zoho CRM pricing, the free edition and the four paid editions on both billing cycles

Requested at https://www.zoho.com/crm/pricing.html. The page renders a free edition priced at zero and describes it as '100% free forever' for three users. Its four paid editions are per user per month on two cycles, and the page opens with the yearly position active, showing the label 'Annually Save up to 34 % with yearly plans'. Monthly: Standard INR 1,300, Professional INR 2,100, Enterprise INR 3,000, Ultimate INR 3,200. Yearly: Standard INR 800, Professional INR 1,400, Enterprise INR 2,400, Ultimate INR 2,600. The page states that saving as 'save up to 34 % with yearly plans' and states the tax position as 'Local taxes (VAT, GST, etc.) will be charged in addition to the prices mentioned.' Read on 4 October 2026. An earlier version of a page on this site published only the yearly figures and described them as monthly, which was wrong; both cycles are published here.

Zoho CRM price data, the file the pricing page loads at runtime

Disclosed plainly because it is not a page a reader would see as a document. The rupee amounts rendered on the Zoho CRM pricing page are the yearly figures only, so the monthly figures on this page come from the price data file that the page itself loads at runtime, at https://www.zohowebstatic.com/sites/zweb/json/pricing/crm-pricing-val.json, which its page markup references through its pricing script. That file carries its own 'currencyOrder' field, which we read as USD first and INR fourth, and its entries are semicolon-separated per currency with the monthly and yearly values separated by a double slash. Reading index 0 as US dollars and index 3 as Indian rupees gives, for the Standard edition, 20 and 1,300 on monthly and 14 and 800 on yearly; the same structure gives Professional at 35 and 2,100 monthly, 23 and 1,400 yearly; Enterprise at 50 and 3,000 monthly, 40 and 2,400 yearly; and Ultimate at 65 and 3,200 monthly, 52 and 2,600 yearly. We publish the Indian rupee figures on this page and we do not publish a converted US dollar figure for Zoho CRM, because the page's own rendered currency was rupees.

Zoho

What the Zoho CRM pricing page does not say

Recorded so the gap is visible rather than filled in from another Zoho page. The content we extracted from the Zoho CRM pricing page contains a price list, edition cards, a currency selector, the yearly discount statement and the tax sentence, and it does not contain e-invoicing, e-way bill, GSTR or return-filing text, so this page publishes no GST or statutory capability for Zoho CRM. We state that as a limit of a pricing page, not as a claim about the product, because a pricing page is not a product manual and the absence of a string in marketing copy is weak evidence. The page publishes a single tax sentence and no CGST and SGST split, no IGST treatment and no tax-inclusive total.

NoxOrigin

Our own published platform pricing, for the disclosure at the end of this page

Platform only, and deliberately not comparable to a mature CRM. Starter INR 800 per month for three users in one workspace, Growth INR 1,600 for ten users, and Agency INR 5,000 for twenty-five users across three workspaces. NoxOrigin does not publish a general ledger and does not file GST returns. NoxCRM, Nox-Billings and Nox-Tickets are scoped custom deployments with no list price, and none of them carries the platform price.
