Zoho Invoice edges out Zoho Books on rating (4.7★ vs 4.5★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.
Pricing entry tiers: Zoho Books at Free of charge, Zoho Invoice at Free of charge. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.
