Which should you choose?

Jira: Issue and project tracking for agile teams.

Zoho Projects: Project management with Gantt charts, timesheets and issue tracking.

The best way to decide is to run the same week of real work through both — most offer a free plan or trial — and compare how long tasks take, what your team prefers, and the total cost for your number of users including renewal pricing.
