By Harikrishnan, Founder & Chief Zoho Consultant, Flowpeak · 10+ years in Zoho · Published · Last updated
Zoho CRM Plus bundles the customer-facing apps (CRM, Desk, SalesIQ, Campaigns, Social, Analytics and more) for sales, marketing and support teams. Zoho One includes almost every Zoho app, including Books, People, Inventory and Creator, for running the whole business. Choose CRM Plus if only customer-facing teams need Zoho; choose Zoho One if finance, HR or operations will use it too.

Both are bundles, both are sold per user, and both include Zoho CRM. The difference is how much of the business you plan to run on Zoho.
