Kommo vs Alumbra: Sales CRM or AI Customer Service
They solve different jobs
The Kommo WhatsApp CRM vs Alumbra comparison becomes clear when you separate sales from customer service. Kommo tracks opportunities in a pipeline. Alumbra resolves conversations.
A CRM can record an opportunity while Alumbra serves the customer before, during, and after it.
When a pipeline is not enough
Many messages are not sales opportunities. Customers also ask common questions, send voice notes, request information, follow up on previous purchases, or need a person.
If every message becomes a lead, the sales team gets noise. If nothing is resolved first, the CRM only records pending work.
What Alumbra does in the conversation
Alumbra's AI answers from business information, remembers the customer, and manages the next step.
For services, it explains offerings and receives appointment requests. For products, it can connect a catalog and take orders. Topics that need judgment go to a person according to your rules.
