Short answer: Zoho is a broad, low-cost business software suite — CRM, Books, Inventory and dozens of apps — where quoting is spread across modules you assemble and configure. SimpliQuote is a single focused quoting app that works out of the box, so you are not standing up and connecting a suite just to send good quotes.

Zoho is a good fit if you want a single low-cost vendor across many business functions — CRM, accounting, inventory, help desk and more — and you are willing to invest the time to set up and connect those apps. If you already run your business on Zoho, keeping quoting inside the suite can make sense.
