Zoho is a great collection of products. NextGen is one platform that replaces the stack — with one flat price and no per-seat tax.
Zoho CRM is $14–$52 per user, per month and every product adds another bill. NextGen is $99/m flat for unlimited accounts.
CRM, pipelines, inbox, phone, payments, courses, communities, funnels, AI agents, and ticketing are built in — no stitching 10 Zoho products together.
Resell unlimited branded accounts with your own desktop/mobile app, login page, help docs, and API domain. Zoho is a SaaS suite, not an agency platform.
Based on Zoho's published per-user pricing and NextGen's $99/m flat platform plan.
