Our verdict

LumaKol is the better choice for teams that call leads and customers from their own phones. Agents keep their SIM and number, LumaKol adds no per-minute charges, and on Android every work call logs itself to the lead, with the phone’s own recording matched to it. The CRM, 18+ lead sources and auto-dial come built in, from a single seat. Aircall may fit teams that need shared business numbers, IVR and call routing on desktop softphones.

Choose LumaKol if

Your team calls leads and customers from their own phones, and you want each call logged to a built-in CRM with its outcome and next follow-up, no per-minute bill, and seats from one user a month.

Choose Aircall if

You need shared business numbers in several countries, IVR and call queues for an inbound support line, or agents who call from a desktop softphone.

FAQ

Questions

What teams ask when they weigh LumaKol against Aircall.

Is there an Aircall alternative that uses your own SIM?

Yes, LumaKol. Each agent calls from the SIM and number already in their phone, and the LumaKol app logs the call to the lead: every work-SIM call on Android, with its exact duration, and calls started from LumaKol on iPhone, with an approximate duration. Aircall calls run over the internet from an Aircall number.

Is LumaKol cheaper than Aircall?

Usually, yes. LumaKol is priced per calling seat from one seat, with no per-minute charges, and up to 3 managers who don’t call are free. Aircall lists $30 or $50 per licence a month billed yearly, with at least 3 licences, and charges calls outside the US and Canada at rates on request. Compare both price lists above with your team’s size.

Can LumaKol give us local numbers in other countries?

No. LumaKol focuses on SIM calling: each agent calls from their own mobile number, so a team in London calls on UK SIMs and a team in Texas on US SIMs. If you need local numbers in many countries from one account, a cloud phone system such as Aircall fits that better.

Can I use LumaKol and Aircall together?

Some teams keep a cloud line for inbound support and use LumaKol for outbound and follow-up calls from mobiles. LumaKol logs calls made on the work SIM; calls placed through Aircall over the internet stay in Aircall and the CRM it connects to. LumaKol does not connect to Aircall directly.
