Questions
What teams ask when they weigh LumaKol against Runo.
Is LumaKol cheaper than Runo?
It depends on team size. Runo’s lowest SIM plan in India is ₹199 a user a month billed yearly, with at least 3 users. LumaKol starts at one seat, billed monthly from ₹399$9, so a one- or two-person team pays only for the seats it uses. Compare the plans you would need, including which lead sources each one includes.
Does LumaKol check the DND registry like Runo?
LumaKol blocks anyone who asked your team not to call and checks calling hours and attempt limits before every dial. It does not check numbers against India’s DND registry, so screen bought or cold lists before you import them.
Can I move my leads from Runo?
Yes. Export them as a CSV or Excel file and import it into LumaKol, mapping the columns once. Duplicates are matched by phone number.
