Is the software costing more per caller than the calls do?

Dialmio: the Runo alternative for Indian calling teams on their own SIM

Dialmio is a Runo alternative that logs every call on your own SIM for ₹162 per user a month; where Runo is stronger is stated below.

Three days free, nothing locked, no card.


What is the best Runo alternative in India?

Dialmio is a Runo alternative built for Indian teams of roughly two to fifty callers who want every call on the record without cloud telephony. Dialmio replaces the Android phone dialer, so incoming, outgoing and missed calls are all logged against a lead with an outcome, a note and a follow-up captured in two taps when the call ends, and missed calls become a callback queue rather than a lost number. Calls go out through the SIM already in the phone, so the customer sees an ordinary mobile number and answers it. WhatsApp is part of the product rather than a separate line on the invoice, covering messages on call outcomes, campaigns and a shared reply inbox. The app runs in 40 languages, chosen per caller. Dialmio costs ₹162 per user per month on the yearly plan with every feature included. Runo publishes ₹599 per user per month on the yearly plan, ₹699 on six months and ₹899 on three months.

In short

  • Incoming, outgoing and missed calls all logged to a lead
  • Calls from your own SIM, on a number customers recognise
  • WhatsApp rules and campaigns inside the standard plan
  • ₹162 per user per month on the yearly plan

Where Runo wins

  • Deeper manager reporting around recorded calls, built for outbound floors where a supervisor reviews a lot of audio every week.
  • Live team status showing who is on a call right now, which suits a floor manager watching a room in real time.
  • A longer free trial at ten days, and a well established brand with a large Play Store presence behind it.

Where Dialmio wins

  • A free dialer, then one price for everything. The dialer is free forever. The CRM is ₹162 per user per month on the yearly plan, with call tracking, recording on supported phones, lead automation, reminders and WhatsApp included rather than split across tiers.
  • Every call becomes a record. Incoming, outgoing and missed calls all land against a lead, so the call log and the CRM are one thing rather than two systems someone has to reconcile.
  • Your own SIM and number. Calls go out through the phone SIM, so customers see a normal mobile number, answer it, and can ring it back to reach the same person.
  • The app in 40 languages. Each caller picks their own language, worded the way people speak, so a new joiner understands the screen from the first hour.

Published price: ₹162 per user per month on the yearly plan

Worth checking before you choose

  • Compare the yearly figure per caller rather than the headline, since the three-month rate is half as much again as the annual one.
  • Check which of the AI features, WhatsApp Business and extra storage are inside the plan and which are the paid add-ons listed beside it.
  • Check what recording actually captures on the specific Android handsets your team carries, with either product, because the platform restricts this differently by manufacturer and version.

Runo and Dialmio agree on the important thing, that calls should run on the SIM rather than over rented numbers. Both record calls on supported Android phones, so the decision usually comes down to price per caller per year and to how deep the manager reporting needs to go.

Cases where Runo, or another tool, is the stronger choice

  • A contact centre of fifty or more seats working cold lists, where dialing several lines at once over virtual numbers really does yield more conversations an hour than one SIM per person.
  • A business whose main need is inbound routing: an advertised number with an IVR menu, queues and hold music is cloud telephony work, and Dialmio does not do it.
  • A team whose callers carry iPhones. Dialmio replaces the phone dialer, which only Android allows, so there is no iPhone app.

From teams using Dialmio

What do teams who moved say?

My worry was the team refusing yet another app. By day three nobody had said a word about it, and silence after a system change is the highest praise a team gives.
Zeba K.Operations head, MumbaiJul 2026
We had fourteen fields in the old sheet and used three. There are four here and all four get filled, because they appear at the only moment anyone is willing to fill them.
Aniket P.Operations, logistics broker, NashikMay 2026
My four callers use the same handsets they always did. Nothing was bought, nothing was ported, and by Tuesday the call sheet I used to chase every evening was just there.

Questions

What do people ask before switching from Runo?

Is Dialmio cheaper than Runo?

Runo publishes ₹599 per user per month on the yearly plan, ₹699 on six months and ₹899 on three months. Dialmio is ₹162 per user per month on the yearly plan with WhatsApp, call tracking and the auto dialer included. For a five-person team that is roughly ₹2,995 a month against ₹810. Compare the renewal price rather than the first-year price, and check what each plan includes for your team size. Checked 7 September 2026.

Can I move my data from Runo?

Yes. Export your leads to Excel or CSV, import them into Dialmio and map your own columns once. Numbers that already exist are matched and merged rather than added twice, so a customer with history does not become two records.

Does Dialmio use my own SIM or VoIP?

Your own SIM. The call goes out from the phone in the caller hand and shows your own number, which is why answer rates in India stay higher than on rented VoIP numbers. There is no per-minute telephony bill, because the calls run on the mobile plan you already pay for.

What does Runo do better?

Deeper manager reporting around recorded calls, built for outbound floors where a supervisor reviews a lot of audio every week. If that is the deciding factor for your team, they are a reasonable choice, and we would rather say so here than have you find out after paying.

Who should not switch to Dialmio?

A contact centre running fifty or more seats on cold outbound lists, where predictive dialing over virtual numbers genuinely produces more conversations per hour than one SIM per person can, and any business whose main need is routing inbound calls through an IVR menu.

How much does Dialmio cost?

Dialmio costs ₹162 per user each month on the yearly plan, or ₹249 on the three-month plan, taxes extra. Both billing periods include the whole product: call tracking, the auto dialer, the lead record, reminders, WhatsApp rules and the owner dashboard, with no cap on leads or calls. The first three days are free and no card is taken. Prices checked October 2026.

Are there per-call or per-lead charges?

None. The per-user monthly subscription is the entire software cost. Your mobile operator bills the calls as it always has, and your WhatsApp API provider bills the messages it sends; Dialmio takes no cut of either.

What does a call management CRM actually do?

A call management CRM connects the phone to the customer record. The record opens as a call starts, with the previous note visible; a sheet collects the result and the next step as the call ends; unanswered calls line up for a callback; and the owner gets call counts, talk minutes and outcomes per person with no report to chase. Dialmio does all four from a single Android app.

Is there a monthly plan?

The shortest term is three months, at ₹249 per user per month, and the yearly term drops that to ₹162, tax extra on both. A common route is to begin on the three-month term and change to yearly at the first renewal.

What is Dialmio?

Dialmio is a call management CRM: an Android app that turns each call a salesperson makes, picks up or misses into a lead record carrying an outcome, a note and a follow-up date, paired with a web dashboard where the owner watches the whole team as the day runs. Calls travel over the SIM inside each phone.

Is Dialmio cheaper than other call management software in India?

Usually, once WhatsApp and reporting are added up. Published Indian prices for this kind of tool sit anywhere from about 100 to 800 rupees per user per month, and a few charge WhatsApp separately or reserve reports for a dearer plan. The fair comparison is the yearly figure for your actual caller count, with everything you plan to use included.


Price, reporting depth, and the size of floor that needs them

Updated 25 July 2026

What buyers ask about this pair

Does Dialmio record calls like Runo does?

Yes, on supported Android phones, and the recording sits on the lead record beside the outcome and the note. Both products record, so the honest headline of this comparison is price and reporting depth: Runo builds more manager reporting around the audio, and charges roughly four times as much per user for it.

Is Runo worth 599 rupees a user?

On a floor of fifteen or more where somebody manages by numbers every morning, quite possibly, because reporting depth is the product and shallow reporting at that size costs real decisions. Below eight callers the same money generally buys more spread across the whole day rather than concentrated in one part of it.

What changes between their three and twelve month terms?

Their published rate moves from 899 rupees a month on three months to 599 on the yearly commitment, so the number you are quoted depends entirely on how long you are signing for. Compare the renewal figure at the term you will actually renew on rather than the one on the pricing page headline.

Can I move my data across?

Leads and contacts export to Excel or CSV and import here with your own columns mapped once. Call history inside another vendor product is the part that does not travel, so export whatever you need to keep before the account closes.

Where the two genuinely differ

Both call out on the handset SIM and both keep a record beside the call, so those rows would tell you nothing.

Where the two genuinely differ
  Dialmio Runo

Runo figures read from their own published pages on 7 September 2026. Confirm before committing to a term.

Three teams, three answers

A supervisor reviews recorded calls every day.

Runo deserves a look. Both of us record on supported phones, but Runo builds more reporting around the audio, and a floor that runs on daily review will use it.

Fifteen or more callers with a manager reading numbers daily.

Runo deserves a serious look. At that size reporting stops being a screen and becomes how the floor is run, and depth there is worth paying for.

Three to eight callers losing missed calls and callbacks.

Dialmio. That is not a reporting failure. A returned call that nobody queued is a gap in the working day, and better dashboards describe the loss rather than stopping it.

What was read, and when

  • Runo pricing across all three terms and the availability of recording were read from their own site on 7 September 2026.
  • Reporting depth is described in general terms deliberately: we can read what they publish, we cannot fairly rank a dashboard we have not run a floor on.

What this page does not claim

  • We make Dialmio, and this page sends you to Runo in two of three cases, which is what we actually think.
  • We have not operated Runo at fifteen seats, so the claim about its suitability there comes from what they publish.

The short version

  • Runo records calls; Dialmio does not, because Android does not permit apps of this kind to capture audio.
  • Runo publishes 599 rupees per user per month on a yearly term and 899 on a three-month term.
  • Dialmio publishes 162 rupees per user per month on the yearly plan with the whole product included.
  • Both place calls through the SIM in the handset rather than over rented numbers.
  • Reporting depth rarely decides anything below about eight callers.
