Instagram and Facebook DM automation tools (39)

Tools that do the same core job as ReplyKaro: send a DM when someone comments a keyword, and automate Story and DM replies.

WhatsApp-first platforms (6)

Built around the WhatsApp Business API. Meta's per-message fees are billed on top of the plan, so the headline price is not like-for-like with an Instagram tool.

Support and multi-channel platforms (6)

Team inboxes, chatbots and ticketing across channels. Priced per agent, contact or conversation.

Social media schedulers (3)

Plan and publish posts. They do not send DMs when someone comments, so many creators use one alongside a DM tool.

Developer APIs (1)

Build your own product on a unified social API.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose between Instagram DM automation tools?

Start with the channel and the job. If you want a DM sent when someone comments a keyword on a Reel or post, pick an Instagram-first tool and compare its free plan, whether pricing is flat or per contact, and which features sit behind paid plans. If you mainly message customers on WhatsApp, a WhatsApp Business API platform is the better category.

Is there a free Instagram DM automation tool?

Several tools have free plans, including ReplyKaro (1 Instagram account, 3 active automations and 1,000 DMs a month), SuperProfile (free Starter plan with Auto-DM on Reels and Posts), CreatorFlow, Inro and LinkDM. Free-plan limits differ, so compare the caps on each tool's pricing page.

Is it safe to use an Instagram automation tool?

Tools that connect through Instagram's official API and never ask for your password are the lowest-risk approach. Browser extensions and password-sharing bots break Instagram's rules. No tool can guarantee an account will never be restricted, so keep message volume sensible.

Why are WhatsApp platforms in this list?

People searching for ManyChat or Instagram automation often also compare WhatsApp tools such as WATI, AiSensy and Interakt. They are a different category, priced with Meta's per-message fees on top, so we group them separately and say so.

How current is this information?

We checked each vendor's public pricing page and help pages on 12 October 2026. Plans change often, so confirm on the vendor's site. If something is wrong, email hello@replykaro.com and we will correct it within 7 days.
