TeamEzz vs Zoho People: HRMS comparison
Zoho People and TeamEzz solve the same HR problem from opposite directions. Zoho People is the HR product inside a large suite of separate Zoho apps. TeamEzz is a single product that carries HR, payroll and basic business modules.
We could not open Zoho's official India pricing page during this review, so we show no Zoho price as fact, and entries marked 'reported' come from third-party listings. TeamEzz publishes this page; confirm Zoho details on zoho.com before deciding.
Last reviewed 1 November 2026. Published by TeamEzz, one of the products compared. Prices exclude GST unless a vendor says otherwise.
The two products
TeamEzz
TeamEzz is an HRMS and business operations platform for Indian startups and SMEs. HR records, attendance, leave, PF/ESI/TDS payroll, expenses, GST invoicing and a sales CRM run in one account and one subscription.
Zoho People
Zoho People is the HR product in the Zoho suite. In India, payroll, expenses, invoicing and CRM are generally separate Zoho products that connect to it, which suits teams already on Zoho.

"Not verified" means we could not confirm the item on the vendor's own page. It does not mean the product lacks it. "Reported" means it comes from a third-party listing. Reviewed 1 November 2026; vendors change plans often, so confirm before buying.
A suite of apps versus one account
With Zoho, HR, payroll, expenses, invoicing and CRM are different products that you connect. That is a strength if you already use Zoho CRM or Zoho Books and want everything under one Zoho login, and it lets you buy only the pieces you need.
TeamEzz is not a suite you assemble. HR, payroll, expenses, GST invoicing and CRM are modules of one subscription with one set of users and permissions, which is simpler to run for a team without an IT person but gives you less choice of components.
Payroll in India
Reports say India payroll for Zoho People users runs through the separate Zoho Payroll product. If you choose Zoho, price People and Payroll together and check how data moves between them.
TeamEzz payroll sits next to attendance and leave in the same account, so attendance and leave feed salary directly. It covers PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS with payslips and statutory and bank files; professional tax uses a built-in slab you should check against your state.
Who is each built for
Zoho People suits organisations that want a mature HR tool and are comfortable managing several Zoho products. TeamEzz suits Indian SMEs that want one place for people, payroll and billing, and prefer to see plan prices up front.
