Where InstantDM fits.
InstantDM automates Instagram and Facebook DMs on flat plans with no per-contact fees.
A low flat price
Legend Pro is $9.99 a month billed yearly, and paid plans carry no per-contact fees.
Bring your own AI model
The AI agent node on Trendsetter and above runs on your own OpenAI, Claude, Gemini or DeepSeek key.
Multi-account plans
Multi Starter is $160 a year for 3 accounts, and Multi Pro is $990 a year for 10.
Start with one Instagram reply.
If your immediate job is responding to Instagram comments asking for a guide, link or offer, test that workflow in HyperDM. InstantDM may be the better fit when a flat yearly price with no contact count matters most.
Use HyperDM’s visual flow builder for fixed steps and, from Growth, its AI Step for optional question handling. Add reviewed business knowledge for the optional assistant, test its answers, and enable human review for uncertainty. AI can make mistakes; a successful import is not factual approval.
Instagram is available today. WhatsApp, TikTok and store chat are coming soon. Abandoned-cart recovery is not offered. HyperDM bills conversations handled, not stored followers or sales. Compare actual activity and required features.
