- You want to start free and pay a flat monthly price as you grow.
- You want Follow-Gate, Fan Mode (points and tiers) and Story automation without a separate add-on.
- You want rupee billing with UPI, or a simple $3 starting plan if you are outside India.
When Spur may be the better fit

How Spur's pricing works, and what it means for you
Spur: Plan price plus flow and AI-credit limits. ReplyKaro charges a flat monthly price per plan, with limits on accounts, active automations and DMs a month (1 Instagram account, 3 active automations and 1,000 DMs a month on the free plan).
The practical difference is how your bill behaves when your audience grows. With a flat plan the price changes only when you move to another plan. With a plan that depends on contacts, messages or credits, the bill follows your activity. Estimate your own numbers before you compare headline prices.
