Try it on your own account. Free plan, no card, no password needed.
Start freeWhere each one fits
- ManyChat may fit better if you want a large template library, many integrations and several channels in one mature builder, or your team already knows it.
- ReplyKaro may fit better if you mainly need comment-to-DM, Story replies and keyword automations on Instagram, want a plan price that does not grow with your contact count, want rupee billing with UPI, or want Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp in one inbox.
- Both have a free plan, so you can test the same Reel on each before you pay.
How to estimate your own bill
- Count how many people interact with your content in a month (contacts) and how many DMs you expect to send.
- Check whether the tool counts contacts, DMs, conversations or credits.
- Read what happens at the cap: pause, queue or overage.
- Include tax: Indian GST (18% on some plans) or foreign currency conversion fees.
- Add any feature you need that sits on a higher plan.

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.
