bundle.social vs Zoho Social
This comparison is on our website, so take it with a grain of salt. We’ll stick to facts and publicly available pricing. If something’s wrong, tell us.
TL;DR
Zoho Social is part of the massive Zoho ecosystem. If you’re already neck-deep in Zoho CRM, Zoho Desk, and Zoho Everything-Else, their social tool plugs in neatly. If you’re not in the Zoho world and you need an API - that’s where we come in.The Comparison Table

Where Zoho Social Wins
- Zoho ecosystem integration. If you use Zoho CRM, the native integration is genuinely useful. Lead generation from social, contact enrichment - it’s seamless within their world.
- Lower entry price. $15/month for Standard is hard to beat for a solo social media manager who just needs a publishing calendar.
- Social inbox. Unified messaging starting at the Professional tier ($40/mo).
- Publishing calendar. Clean, visual, drag-and-drop. Great for non-technical users.
- SmartQ. Their AI suggests optimal posting times. Nice touch.
Where bundle.social Wins
- API access. Zoho Social has no public API for social media operations. If you’re building a SaaS product, an internal tool, or any kind of integration - they can’t help you.
- Unlimited users. Zoho charges $10-13/month per additional team member. Their Premium plan includes only 3 members. Adding 10 users gets expensive.
- Unlimited accounts. Our Pro tier gives you unlimited social accounts. Zoho Standard caps at 10 channels.
- More platforms. We support 14 including Discord, Slack, Bluesky, and Google Business. Zoho covers 9.
- Multi-brand without agency pricing. You need teams for multiple brands? We include that in our standard tiers. Zoho’s agency plans start at $320/month for 10 brands with only 5 team members.
- Developer tools. SDK, webhooks, OpenAPI spec. Zoho Social is a dashboard - there’s nothing to integrate with programmatically.
