Switching from Zoho
No developer, no app sprawl. Switch from Zoho in a day.
Switching used to take months. Payani's AI reads your exported Zoho data and rebuilds your contacts, companies, deals, forms, and even your automations, with your relationships intact, so you switch in a day, not a quarter.
Why teams leave
Why teams leave Zoho.
You need to think like a developer.
Zoho's automations are powerful, but they are built for admins and power users. The interface is busy and the configuration is heavy for frontline people.
Every capability is another app, and another bill.
The value depends on committing to three or more Zoho apps. The ecosystem is a lock-in and a cost-creep trap.
Fast support is reserved for enterprise.
Support is tiered, so smaller teams wait, which stings given how much setup the platform demands.
The comparison
Zoho and Payani, side by side.
No developer needed. You describe what you want and the AI builds the workflow. One platform instead of a sprawl of apps, and the AI does the configuration Zoho makes you hire for.
| Zoho | Payani | |
|---|---|---|
| Switching in | Export your data, then rebuild your setup and automations by hand. | The AI rebuilds your data, forms, and automations from your export, with associations intact. |
| Building automations | Flows are powerful but built for admins and power users. | Describe it in plain language and the AI builds the workflow. |
| One platform vs many | Value depends on committing to several Zoho apps, each its own subscription. | One platform, one login, one bill. |
| Configuration | Configuration-heavy, often needs a developer mindset. | The AI does the configuration for you. |
| Support | Fast help is tiered toward enterprise. | Priority support on paid plans. |
| Marketing content | Another app in the suite to buy and wire up. | The AI writes and publishes content, built in. |
The one-day switch
Live in a day, not a quarter.
Payani's AI reads your Zoho exports and rebuilds your contacts, companies, deals, forms, and even your automations, with your relationships intact, and flags anything it cannot determine so you finish on the canvas in minutes.
What comes over
Rebuilt from your export, associations and all.
Your data, relationships intact
Contacts, companies, and deals come across with the custom properties you had, which Payani recreates for you. Every deal stays attached to its contact and company, and your pipeline and its stages come too.
In one proven migration: 2,363 companies, 2,758 contacts, and 822 deals moved with zero associations lost.
Your forms keep collecting
Import your forms and Payani matches submissions by form name, so the moment your site posts to Payani they start collecting again. No re-wiring.
Your automations, rebuilt by AI
Upload your workflow export and the AI reads what each one does, then rebuilds it as a review-ready draft in Payani's workflow engine, binding the forms and actions it can read. Where a workflow was basic, it can offer to make it better, like swapping a template email for an AI-written one.
Nothing guessed, nothing hidden
Every rebuilt workflow is a draft you review and activate yourself, never automatic. Anything the export did not include, like an exact enrollment condition, is listed plainly on the draft so you know what to finish.
Marketing that ships like an engineer
A CRM that acts like it has a marketing team.
A legacy CRM automates mechanics: send this template, set this field. Payani automates judgment: it writes the actual email, the actual article, the actual caption. That is the difference between software that stores your marketing and software that does it.
What you gain
What Payani does that Zoho does not.
Publishes to your live site
Payani writes the article and publishes it straight to your site. No copy-paste, no export, no developer.
AI search visibility, fixed
It finds what holds your visibility back and applies the fixes to your live site for you.
Images and social
On-brand images and social posts, generated and scheduled from the same place.
Personalized email at scale
The AI writes the actual email to the actual person, not a mail-merge template.
One platform
CRM, content, email, social, and analytics in one system, one login, one bill.
No per-contact pricing
Grow your list as much as you want. Your price does not move.
Switch to Payani in a day.
No months, no rebuild. Start free, no credit card, and let the AI move you over.
