In detail
Pricing
Zoho One has two plans. All Employee starts at US$37 per employee a month on annual billing and needs a licence for every employee on the payroll; Flexible User licenses only the people who use it, at about US$90 per user according to secondary sources. Zoho's FAQ says there is no minimum licence count on either plan, and Zoho's price includes every Zoho One app for each licensed person.
DynamoOS charges for the people who work in the apps. A company of 50 employees with 10 full users pays $240 a month for Dynamo Complete on annual billing. On Zoho One's All Employee plan the same company would license all 50 employees: US$1,850 a month at the starting price.
Apps
Zoho One brings more than 45 Zoho apps together under one admin console. DynamoOS has 25 connected apps: a customer, an item or an employee is entered once and every app uses it. If your work centres on stock, purchasing or production, compare how each handles your warehouses and orders in a trial.
Accounting and e-invoicing
Zoho Books, Zoho's accounting app, lists ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing from its Standard plan in Saudi Arabia, and in the UAE sells e-invoicing as a paid add-on on Professional and above, as we read on 10 October 2026. DynamoOS includes the Saudi Arabia pack at no extra charge, tested against ZATCA's developer sandbox; the UAE pack is in preparation.
Getting started
Both offer a trial without a card: 30 days for Zoho One, and 14 days for DynamoOS, which we can extend once to 30 days in total when the workspace is in real use or onboarding is booked.
Which one fits
Choose DynamoOS if
- Most of your employees only need self-service, and you do not want to license them all
- Your business runs on stock, purchasing, production or projects, and you want them in one system
- You want the Saudi Arabia pack included and prices in riyals, dirhams, pounds, euros or dollars
Choose Zoho One if
- You want Zoho's 45+ apps under one licence
- Every employee needs the full set of apps anyway
- You want a 30-day trial
Moving to DynamoOS
Export your customers, suppliers, items and opening balances to spreadsheets and import them into DynamoOS; there is no direct connector from Zoho One. Our fixed-price onboarding packs can do the setup, import and training with you. Your data stays exportable in standard formats, so the move is never one-way.
Do we pay for every employee on DynamoOS?
No. You pay for full users, the people who work in the apps. Employees who only request leave, claim expenses, check in or open their payslips use self-service for free.
Which is cheaper?
It depends on how many of your employees need the full apps. If everyone does, compare Zoho One with Dynamo Complete for your whole headcount; if only some do, DynamoOS charges nothing for the rest.
Can DynamoOS import from Zoho?
There is no direct connector. Export your records from Zoho to spreadsheets and import them into DynamoOS; our onboarding packs can do it with you.
