Wealthbox vs Zoho Bigin: at a glance
What is Wealthbox?
Wealthbox puts 24 prebuilt AI agents on every plan, at no extra charge.
Wealthbox launched AI Agents on November 4 on all plans: 24 prebuilt agents or ones firms build themselves. It caps a busy stretch: a Developer Portal for AI Assistant integrations with Holistiplan and Nitrogen, the $29 Vault add-on for compliant file storage, CarPlay access to the assistant and Formula Fields in the core CRM.
What is Zoho Bigin?
Bigin went all-in on AI in 2026: MCP, Zia agents, now self-running follow-ups and payments.
Bigin's 2026 releases have been AI-first. MCP support arrived in Q1, followed by in-product AI features in May, Zia Agents in Q2, and a dedicated AI-agents rollout in June. Q3 added Sequences for automated follow-ups and Payment Links, and the iOS 27 update tied Bigin into Apple Intelligence and Siri. The feed only carries blog excerpts, so feature depth is partly hidden.
Wealthbox vs Zoho Bigin: editorial side-by-side
Wealthbox
7.5CRM
Wealthbox puts 24 prebuilt AI agents on every plan, at no extra charge.
◆ Current state
Wealthbox launched AI Agents on November 4 on all plans: 24 prebuilt agents or ones firms build themselves. It caps a busy stretch: a Developer Portal for AI Assistant integrations with Holistiplan and Nitrogen, the $29 Vault add-on for compliant file storage, CarPlay access to the assistant and Formula Fields in the core CRM.
◆ Where it's heading
Wealthbox has moved from an assistant that answers questions to agents that do work, while charging for storage and compliance rather than AI. Partner integrations through the Developer Portal give those agents more data to act on.
◆ Prediction
Expect agents that use partner data from Holistiplan or Nitrogen, and more prebuilt agents; the entries do not list the 24 or the build tools in detail.
Zoho Bigin
5.0CRM
Bigin went all-in on AI in 2026: MCP, Zia agents, now self-running follow-ups and payments.
◆ Current state
Bigin's 2026 releases have been AI-first. MCP support arrived in Q1, followed by in-product AI features in May, Zia Agents in Q2, and a dedicated AI-agents rollout in June. Q3 added Sequences for automated follow-ups and Payment Links, and the iOS 27 update tied Bigin into Apple Intelligence and Siri. The feed only carries blog excerpts, so feature depth is partly hidden.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is clear: hand small-business CRM chores to automation and agents, both inside Bigin (Zia Agents, Sequences) and from outside AI clients (MCP, Siri). Payments inside the CRM point to Bigin closing more of the sales loop itself.
◆ Prediction
Q4 will likely bring more agent actions wired into Sequences and payments; the excerpts don't reveal specifics beyond that pattern.
