The Zoho CRM alternative
that fills itself in.
Zoho CRM is a database your team feeds by hand. Frontdesk is the AI CRM that listens to every call, text, and email and enriches every contact automatically. Start for free, AI agents included.
Why teams switch from Zoho CRM.
Zoho CRM is a capable CRM. The catch is the same one every legacy CRM shares: it only knows what your team types into it. Reps become data-entry clerks, records go stale, and pipeline reflects gut feel instead of real signal.
Frontdesk flips that. The AI listens to every call, reads every text and email, and auto-populates intent, fit, urgency, and outcome. Your team stops doing data entry and starts closing.
On price, Zoho CRM runs $14–$52/seat/mo and pushes you up tiers and into the wider Zoho suite. Frontdesk is free to start with the dialer, AI receptionist, SMS, and email agents included.
