Lead Friendly

Lead Friendly vs Numa

Numa is dealership voice AI that reads and writes your DMS and does not publish its price. Lead Friendly is an AI phone agent inside a dealer CRM with inventory, desking and a website, at a published $349 a month, and it does not write to a DMS.

Prices were read from each vendor's own pricing page on October 14, 2026. We list where Numa is the better choice, not just where we are.

Bottom line

Choose Numa if your value is in DMS write-back and service-lane scheduling, you run a larger store, and a quote-based contract suits you. Choose Lead Friendly if you run an independent lot, want the phone agent, lead follow-up, inventory and desk in one subscription at a price you can see, and can live without DMS write-back. Many independents keep their DMS for titling and accounting and add Lead Friendly for the phone.

Frequently asked questions

Does Lead Friendly integrate with my DMS?

Not as a two-way write-back. Lead Friendly captures leads, answers calls, texts, books appointments and keeps its own CRM, inventory and desk; it does not write call outcomes into a DMS record. If the AI must read repair-order status or write into CDK, Reynolds or Tekion, Numa is built for that and we are not a substitute.

Who should buy Numa instead?

Franchise and larger independent stores with a service department, where the value is the AI knowing the customer's repair status and booking service bays against the DMS. If you answer mostly sales calls and web leads, and your DMS is a simple inventory and accounting tool, the write-back matters less.

Who should buy Lead Friendly instead?

Independent used-car lots that want one subscription for the phone agent, lead follow-up, inventory syndication, desking and a website, at a published price: $349 a month, or $279 on annual, plus a $500 setup fee. You can keep your DMS for titling, accounting and F&I and add us for the phone and the follow-up.

What does Numa cost?

Numa does not publish prices; its site routes to a demo and contact form. Ask for a written quote including setup, per-minute or per-call fees, the contract term and any DMS integration charges.

What should I ask any dealership AI vendor?

Which DMS it writes to and whether that is live or planned, what happens when a caller wants a person, how it handles do-not-call and consent for outbound calls, what the contract term is, and what the booking rate measures. Treat any booking-rate figure a vendor publishes as vendor-reported until you see how it is counted.
