Zoho CRM for Digital Marketing Agencies
3.7/ 5
Our Take
Zoho CRM offers exceptional value for budget-conscious agencies. The broader Zoho ecosystem — Campaigns, Social, Analytics, Projects — creates an affordable all-in-one agency stack. The free tier for up to 3 users is perfect for small agencies just getting started, and the Zia AI assistant punches above its weight.
