What is Zoho Writer?
Why we rate it "Definitely"
Writer earns our “Definitely” rating because it offers outstanding performance, rich feature depth, and tight integration into the Zoho ecosystem—all without the bloated feel of traditional word processors. Its real-time collaboration tools rival Google Docs, but with more robust formatting and workflow automation baked right in.
What really sets Writer apart is how fast Zoho continues to improve it. Whether it's AI-assisted writing (via Zia), mail-merge automation, or better offline syncing, Writer keeps evolving to meet user needs without requiring expensive licenses or complicated add-ons. If you're already in the Zoho world (or thinking about it), Writer is an absolute no-brainer.
