Manychat

DM and comment automation for Instagram, WhatsApp, and TikTok

Manychat answers Instagram comments and DMs, Facebook Messenger, TikTok, WhatsApp, and Telegram for you, so a keyword in a comment can send a link, collect an email, or start a sale. Essential is $14 a month billed yearly ($17 monthly) for 250 active contacts and 2 users, but leaves out WhatsApp, SMS, email, and most integrations. Pro at $29 billed yearly ($39 monthly) adds them, with 2,500 active contacts a month and 3 users, and each extra contact costs $0.038 to $0.05. The free plan stops at 25 contacts. It suits shops, creators, and service businesses that get a steady stream of DMs. It does not schedule posts, so a business that mainly needs a content calendar should pick Buffer or Later instead.
