Our verdict

LumaKol is the better choice for teams that sell by phone from their own mobiles: no per-minute bill, a Power Dialer in the app on every plan, every work-SIM call on Android logged automatically, and calling rules, attendance and field visits included, from ₹399$9 a calling seat a month. Close may fit desk-based inside sales teams that want email sequences, a predictive dialer, numbers in many countries or an AI agent that calls leads, inside a broader CRM.

Choose LumaKol if

Your team calls leads from their own phones and you want no per-minute bill, a Power Dialer in the app on every plan, calls logged even from the phone’s own dialer, and field visits, attendance and calling rules in the same tool.

Choose Close if

Your team sells from a desk over VoIP and wants a broad sales CRM with email sequences, a predictive dialer, numbers in many countries or an AI agent that calls leads.

    After 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

Why LumaKol

Where LumaKol stands out against Close

Everything below works in LumaKol today.

What you get with LumaKol

  • No per-minute bill: agents call from their own SIM, so calls go over each phone’s own mobile plan, and customers see a number they know.
  • The Power Dialer runs in the Android and iPhone apps on every plan; Close’s Power Dialer starts on Growth, at $99 a user a month billed yearly, and its mobile app runs neither of its dialers.
  • On Android, every work-SIM call with a lead logs itself, including calls from the phone’s own dialer, incoming and missed calls; in Close, calls made outside it are logged by hand.
  • Attendance, field visits with a location check-in and a photo, calling hours, attempt limits and a do-not-call block, all on every plan.
  • Call review scorecards and coaching reports on every plan, with no add-on to buy.
  • 18+ lead sources plus Google Sheets sync and two-way HubSpot, Pipedrive and Zoho CRM sync, straight into the calling queue.

Where Close may fit

  • Email built in: two-way sync, templates, bulk email and email steps in automated workflows.
  • A Predictive Dialer on Scale, and outbound calls to nearly 200 countries, with numbers you can buy in other regions.
