LumaKol is the better choice when your team’s day is calls from their own mobile numbers: logging, auto-dial, outcomes, follow-ups and calling rules work on day one, with no numbers or telephony to buy. You don’t have to give up Zoho to get it: on Growth and above, new Zoho CRM leads or contacts come into LumaKol and every call is logged back in Zoho. Zoho CRM may fit teams that need a deeply customisable CRM across sales, marketing and support, and the wider Zoho suite.
Choose LumaKol if
Your callers sell from their own phones and you want calling, logging, auto-dial and follow-ups to work out of the box, without buying numbers or setting up telephony, whether you replace Zoho CRM or keep it and sync the two.
Choose Zoho CRM if
You need one customisable CRM for sales, marketing and support, already use Zoho apps, or want virtual numbers through Zoho’s built-in telephony.

- Zoho CRM

- Auto-dial
- LumaKol
- YesAuto-dial queue and Power DialerAfter each hang-up a 3 to 60 second countdown runs and the next lead in the list is dialled from the agent’s SIM. Calls that don’t connect are tagged automatically, the session ends when the list is done, and a missed lead is rung once more only if the agent switches that on. Pause, Skip lead and End session work at any time; it works on individual accounts too, and managers get a calling sessions report. No predictive dialer; LumaKol focuses on SIM calling
