What to check on any free plan
- The cap: DMs, contacts or automations per month, and what happens when you reach it.
- Branding: some free plans add the vendor's name to your messages.
- Features held back: Story automation, follow-gating, exports or multiple accounts.
- Expiry: a free plan with no time limit is different from a trial.
- Card: whether you must enter payment details to start.
Where ReplyKaro fits
ReplyKaro sends a DM when someone comments a keyword on a Reel or post, replies to a Story or messages you, on Instagram and Facebook Messenger. The free plan includes 1 Instagram account, 3 active automations and 1,000 DMs a month, with Follow-Gate and Fan Mode. Paid plans start at ₹99 a month in India or $3 a month elsewhere; Pro (₹299 (India) or $9 a month with unlimited automations and DMs) removes automation and DM caps.
ReplyKaro does not do WhatsApp. If WhatsApp Business API messaging is your main need, use a WhatsApp platform and consider ReplyKaro for Instagram alongside it.
What to compare before you pick
- Does it connect through Instagram's official login and never ask for your password?
- Is there a free plan you can test with your own account, and what are its limits?
- Is pricing flat, per contact, per DM or credit based? Estimate your real monthly bill.
- Which features sit behind paid plans: Story automation, follow-gating, multiple accounts, API?
- What happens at the cap: pause, queue or extra charge?
- Can you see which links people tap, and can a person take over a chat?

Indi website with a friendly UI and competitive prices. You can try their free version before commiting. The payment process is trustworthy (already finished one month subscription and upgraded to a yearly one)

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is ReplyKaro safe for my Instagram account?
ReplyKaro uses Instagram's official API, never asks for your password and only messages people who commented a keyword, replied to your Story or messaged you. It sends within its own hourly limits, set below Meta's. No tool can guarantee an account will never be restricted.
How accurate is the competitor information?
We checked each vendor's public pricing and help pages on 12 October 2026. Plans change often, so confirm on the vendor's site. If you spot an error, or you represent a vendor listed here, email hello@replykaro.com and we will correct it within 7 days.
Can I switch tools without losing my audience?
Your followers are on Instagram, not in the tool. You rebuild your keyword automations in the new tool; conversation history stays in the old one, so export contacts first if it allows. Pause the old automation on a post before enabling the new one, because Instagram allows one private reply per comment.
