About Bigin by Zoho

Bigin by Zoho is a CRM designed specifically for small businesses that find traditional CRMs too complex. It strips away enterprise features and focuses on what small teams actually need.

CRM Without the Complexity

Bigin was built for businesses that manage their sales in spreadsheets and want something slightly better, not a full Salesforce implementation. Setup takes minutes, and the interface is intentionally simple.

What You Get on the Free Plan

  • 1 user - Solo founder or freelancer
  • 500 contacts - Manage up to 500 leads and customers
  • 1 pipeline - Track deals through customizable stages
  • Built-in telephony - Make calls from the CRM
  • Email integration - Connect your inbox
  • Mobile app - Manage your pipeline on the go

What to Know

The free plan is limited to 1 user and 500 contacts, which is tight for growing businesses. Paid plans start at $7/user/month. Bigin integrates with the broader Zoho ecosystem, so if you already use Zoho tools, it fits in naturally.
