01The short version
Choose SuperForge if you want one clean workspace for sales, support tickets, GST invoices and social media, priced per user in rupees, that a small team can set up in an afternoon.
Choose Zoho CRM if you want the wider Zoho suite (Books, Desk, Campaigns and dozens more), deep workflow customisation, or you already run other Zoho apps.

03Why teams move from Zoho CRM
The most common reason is simplicity. In SuperForge, the CRM, helpdesk, invoicing and social scheduling are one product with one login and one bill, not several apps to connect. Teams also like that the free plan includes support tickets.

Free is ₹0 forever for up to 5 users and includes the Sales, Service and Marketing Forges with 30 Forge AI credits a month. Pro is ₹580 per user per month billed yearly (₹760 monthly) and adds the Content, Data and Commerce Forges with 500 AI credits per user. New workspaces can try Pro free for 14 days.
