Our verdict

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.

    On Android, every work-SIM call with a lead logs itself to that lead with its exact duration, including calls dialled from the phone’s own dialer, incoming and missed calls
    On iPhone, calls started from LumaKol log themselves with an approximate duration measured by the app. Each then asks for the outcome and books the next follow-up

    The Android app logs calls placed from it, and incoming calls from numbers already in the CRM (per Zoho staff in its forum)
  • Auto-dial
    LumaKol
    Yes
    Auto-dial queue and Power Dialer
    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
