Built for Small.
Breaks at Scale.
Zoho One is a great toolkit for small businesses. But once you pass 100+ users, run inventory across several warehouses, or need real control over your own data, its shared setup starts to show its limits. Infinary gives you your own private section of Google Cloud, built for growing manufacturers and logistics operations.

What It Really Costs Over Time
Cheap at 10 Users. Expensive at 200.
Zoho One at $45/user/month is a fair deal for small teams. At 50 users that's $27K/year — reasonable. But as you grow to 200+ users across several sites, the math shifts: $108K/year for software that has no real manufacturing tool, gives you little control over your data, and runs on shared servers.
Add the custom apps, third-party connections for manufacturing, and the time lost to workarounds, and you're paying bigger-company prices for small-business software. Infinary's flat fee is built for exactly this moment — when you've outgrown Zoho but don't need (or want to pay for) SAP or NetSuite.
What Zoho Costs You Over Five Years
A worked example for a 50-person company, built from Zoho's published rate card as of Q1 2026. Your own number depends on your headcount, which parts of the system you actually run, and what you've negotiated — move the slider to see the shape of it. Infinary replaces the fee for every employee who logs in with a flat plan fee and the computing power you use, so we'll work out your number with you.
Fee Per Employee
Cost to Leave
No Lock-In
ERPNext, Included
No multi-year contract and no renewal penalty — if our price ever changes, you can leave and take your whole system with you, because it already runs in your own Google Cloud account. And every module in ERPNext — the all-in-one business software — is switched on from the first day: accounting, inventory, manufacturing, HR, projects, CRM and the rest, with nothing held back behind an upgrade tier.
Making the Switch
Why Switch from
Zoho?
Move Up to a Setup You Own
Zoho keeps your data on shared servers with few choices about where it lives. Infinary puts your software in your own private section of Google Cloud, where you hold the only keys that unlock your data — and it meets enterprise compliance needs.
Real Manufacturing, Not Workarounds
Zoho has no real manufacturing tool, so you end up with custom apps, outside connections, and manual workarounds. ERPNext includes full production planning, work orders, and quality checks out of the box.
Scale Without a Ceiling on Users
At $45/user/month, growing from 50 to 500 users adds $243K/year on Zoho. On Infinary, those 450 extra users cost $0 in software fees — you only pay for the extra computing power, like a utility bill.
Also Compare
Other Comparisons
vs. NetSuite
You pay a fee for every employee who logs in, so the bill climbs every time you hire.
vs. SAP B1
Even small changes mean paying SAP consultants and waiting, and the dated interface struggles to keep up.
vs. Odoo
The most useful tools — full accounting and manufacturing — are locked behind a paid plan with per-employee fees.
