Social DM automation: what 8 tools cost

Automated replies in Instagram and Messenger, triggered by a comment or keyword. Every price below is the plan a buyer actually lands on to get this capability — not the headline figure on the pricing page, and not the free tier that does not include it. Read from each vendor's own material and dated.

Ordered by what it costs, cheapest first, starting at $25. 7 more products do this and have no researched price, so they are not listed here.

This page compares what each tool does and what it costs. It does not name a winner: picking one honestly needs a researched verdict for every option, and the corpus does not carry those yet — so nothing here is ranked by anything but price.
