Both send a DM when someone comments.
Grohubz and Waveloop are both built only for Instagram. Someone comments a keyword on your reel, and they get a DM with your link. Both also handle DM keywords, story replies, follow gates and contact collection.
Grohubz lists a lot on its plans. Paid plans add story mention replies, image and video replies, a persistent menu and its own SuperLink page. Higher plans add quiz campaigns, event reminders, loyalty rewards and a comment hub. Its homepage also describes AI replies with a brand persona and a knowledge base, though those are not named on the plan cards.
Waveloop keeps things simple. You pick a post, a story or a keyword, write the DM, and switch it on. Everyone who comments is saved as a contact you can search and export.
Where Grohubz is stronger.
Price. Grohubz paid plans start at ₹99 a month, and its Growth plan covers 5 Instagram accounts for ₹299. Its DM limits are high too: 10,000 a month on Starter and 100,000 on Growth. Waveloop plans are per Instagram account, so each account you connect has its own plan.
Follow gates and contact collection also cost less on Grohubz. They start on the ₹99 Starter plan. On Waveloop, they start on Creator.
How the free plans compare.
The Grohubz free tier gives you 1,000 DMs a month on one account. It covers reel automation and keyword replies. It does not include story automation, follow gates or lead collection.
Waveloop Hobby is free with no card: 3 automations, 50 new contacts a month and unlimited DMs. Comment to DM, story replies and DM keywords all work on it. Hobby DMs carry a small Waveloop footer.

It adds follow to unlock, email collection, card replies and Intelligence, which shows which posts bring you contacts. The Business plan adds an AI agent that drafts DM replies for you to review. See the pricing page.
