At a glance
How Omni compares to Zoho
Zoho One is an enormous horizontal suite — 50+ apps spanning CRM, inventory, books, projects, HR, marketing, and support — licensed per user and billed annually. Omni is a single unified platform with one data model, purpose-built for retail, wholesale/B2B, e-commerce, and service operations: orders and POS, inventory, purchasing, AR/AP, CRM, fulfillment, and a B2B portal, at flat pricing with no per-user fees. Zoho wins on sheer breadth; Omni wins when you want one coherent operations system instead of stitching several apps together, priced by outcome rather than by seat.
Pricing compared
Omni
Flat-rate, with no per-user fees — 2 users or 200, the whole team gets full access at one price. Five published tiers from $79 to $999 per month (20% off billed annually), with a free trial and no credit card.
Zoho
Zoho One is priced per user and billed annually — roughly $37 per user per month on the all-employee plan (you must license every employee) or about $90 per user per month on the flexible-user plan — so cost scales with headcount.

Accurate to what Omni ships today. Omni does not manufacture (no MRP or BOM) and is the operations platform behind your storefront, not a webshop.
Where each fits best
Choose Omni if…
You want one purpose-built platform for retail/B2B/service operations, flat pricing that does not scale per seat, a single data model instead of many apps to configure and connect, and AI on every plan.
Choose Zoho if…
You need a broad horizontal business suite spanning marketing, HR, projects, and support — dozens of apps Omni intentionally does not cover — and you are comfortable licensing and configuring them per user.
Switching to Omni from Zoho
Import your catalog, customers, and orders with Omni's guided import, keep Shopify and QuickBooks connected, and consolidate retail/B2B operations into one platform. Omni focuses on operations — it complements, rather than replaces, a dedicated storefront or accounting system you keep.
Frequently asked questions
Is Omni cheaper than Zoho One?
It depends on team size. Zoho One is priced per user (and typically all-employee), so cost rises with headcount. Omni is flat-rate with no per-user fees, so growing teams often pay less — the whole team is included at one tier price.
Does Omni do everything Zoho does?
No — and it is not meant to. Zoho spans 50+ horizontal apps (marketing, HR, projects, support) that Omni does not cover. Omni is purpose-built for retail, B2B, e-commerce, and service operations, delivered as one unified platform rather than many apps.
Do I need to connect multiple apps like with Zoho?
No. Omni is a single platform with one data model — orders, inventory, purchasing, CRM, billing, and B2B live together, so there are no separate apps to license, configure, and sync.
Can I keep QuickBooks and Shopify?
Yes. Omni integrates with QuickBooks and Shopify rather than replacing them — connect the storefront and accounting you already use.
Is AI included on every plan?
Yes — Omni includes AI on every plan: ask your data questions in plain language and get in-product help, metered per plan.
