Why people look for an alternative
Zoho Social makes the most sense inside the Zoho world: posts, listening columns and leads that land in Zoho CRM. Teams outside that world, or teams whose real problem is the idea rather than the schedule, are the ones who start comparing.

Where they are strong
Zoho Social has a permanent free plan, publishes to more networks than we do, Mastodon, Bluesky and Google Business Profile included, and its listening columns track mentions, brand keywords and competitor pages. On the Premium plan, social activity turns into leads in Zoho CRM. If your sales run on Zoho, that link is worth a lot.
Where they fall short
It watches and schedules; it does not decide. No trend is scored against your business, no hook arrives with the video it came from, and no Reel is built for you when nobody has time to film.
Choose them if
- Your sales team works in Zoho CRM and social leads should land there.
- You want a free plan for one brand and mention tracking as you grow.
Choose MyTrendView if
- You need to know what to post this week, not only when.
- You want hooks, scripts and Reels without filming next to the calendar.
You can run both. Many people schedule elsewhere and decide here.

Questions people actually ask
Is Zoho Social free?
Yes, Zoho Social has a free plan for one brand, one team member and six channels, plus a 15-day trial of the paid plans without a credit card. Paid plans scale by brands and team members, with Agency plans for 10 or 20 brands. MyTrendView’s Free plan holds one brand and can publish, with a monthly cap.
Does MyTrendView connect to a CRM like Zoho Social?
No. We stop at the content: trends, hooks, scripts, Reels, the calendar and publishing. If social leads must land in Zoho CRM, Zoho Social does that and we do not.
Is MyTrendView cheaper than Zoho Social?
MyTrendView is priced in euros, with a Free plan and three paid plans, and the numbers live on our pricing page rather than here. For Zoho Social, the table above links their live pricing page. We do not copy the number over: a price checked once quietly turns false, and holding a current figure against a stale one proves nothing.
Can I use MyTrendView and Zoho Social together?
Yes, and plenty of people do. MyTrendView covers the step before the post exists: what to make, why it fits your business, and the first line. Zoho Social keeps doing its own job around that. Two subscriptions usually cost less than one tool stretched over two jobs.
