The best fit depends on the task you need to verify. Compare a requested-link reply, ongoing answers, captured lead records and team support separately. Repli publishes this guide, so use each vendor’s own sources and test the exact workflow before choosing.
Official-source evidence checked 2026-10-26. Unknown regional prices are not ranked; billing bases and inclusions differ. Check the official sources before buying.
| Product/plan | Monthly price and billing basis | Workflow and usage boundary |

| Repli Creator / Pro | Creator ₹249 / US$3; Pro ₹499 / US$6 per month, billed monthly | Creator: configured Comment-to-DM. Pro: broader DM and Story replies, lead questions and eligible follow-ups. Creator: unlimited active Comment-to-DM rules. This is not a guarantee of unlimited delivery; Meta restrictions remain. Creator and Pro include no AI credit. AI-generated replies cost extra where AI access is available and use purchased credit; buying credit does not unlock a workflow your plan excludes.

Check selected-post keywords, the requested initial private reply and actual link delivery.
Check incoming-DM triggers, AI instructions, credit and the standard 24-hour window.
Check whether answers are saved and exportable; do not assume scoring or external CRM synchronization.
Verify the actual channel, assignment controls and seat cost. Instagram lead records are not a shared WhatsApp inbox.
Shortlist comment-to-DM products for one maintained resource link.
Compare supported questionnaires and personal review; booking links do not confirm external appointments.
Compare WhatsApp inbox permissions, templates, consent and extra seats independently of Instagram.
Write the requested event, expected reply, real destination and personal-review boundary. Test from a different account, inspect the send result, open the link and read back any captured answers. A successful preview is not proof of API delivery.
Record failures and restrictions before moving existing campaigns. No automatic ManyChat importer, guaranteed setup time, conversion uplift or Meta endorsement is established.
Use monthly versus annual totals consistently. Active contacts, message limits, AI credit, extra seats, taxes and provider charges can change the comparison. The cheapest entry plan may not cover your required task.
Repli prices come from its current catalog. Do not equate its Creator entry plan with full Instagram automation or WhatsApp CRM. Public competitor figures are examples to verify, not a quote or a claim that Repli always saves money.
No. Match the product to the required event, channel, plan and human-review needs.
No. Permissions, eligible messaging windows and provider restrictions still apply.
An automatic importer is not established for Repli. Inventory and recreate supported steps, then test.

Keep Free if one active rule meets your needs. Upgrading is optional: choose a paid plan for a workflow or capacity you actually need, not simply because you have tested the free plan.
No subscription charge or trial expiry. One active automation across channels, one Instagram account, 300-character DMs with a Repli footer, 15 signup credits plus 5 daily credits. Free Instagram also has a 5-message daily cap; available credit and other sending restrictions can reduce delivery. AI evaluation is not a rechargeable money wallet.

Monthly figures are not annual-equivalent prices. Longer billing periods have their own upfront totals; review the selected cycle before checkout. Customer cancellation is designed to stop renewal and retain access through the paid cycle. Meta permissions, rate limits and messaging eligibility still apply. Paid AI uses metered credit; a recharge never unlocks excluded workflows.
