Dreambooks vs Zoho One for UAE businesses

Zoho One bundles Zoho's apps on one licence, and you license every employee to get its lowest price of US$37 per user a month, about AED 8,100 a year for five people. Its UAE compliance is spread across Zoho Books and Zoho Payroll. Dreambooks keeps the VAT, corporate tax and excise returns, UAE e-invoicing and WPS payroll in one accounting product, with Pro for five users at AED 1,000 a year.

One product, not a bundle of apps

In Zoho One, the VAT return is in Zoho Books and WPS salary files are in Zoho Payroll. In Dreambooks, the returns, e-invoicing, payroll and the books are one app with one login, one set of roles and one audit trail.

Priced for a small UAE business

Zoho One's lowest price needs a licence for every employee on payroll, and the flexible-user plan is US$90 per user a month. Dreambooks charges per company: Pro is AED 1,000 a year for five users, and Premium with inventory and payroll is AED 1,500 a year.
