FAQ
Waveloop and Hypello, answered.
Is Waveloop a good Hypello alternative?
Yes, if you work only on Instagram and want Claude or ChatGPT, Intelligence or a link in bio page in the same tool. If the lowest price or Facebook automation matters most, Hypello fits better.
Is Waveloop cheaper than Hypello?
No. Hypello Pro Unlimited is $8 a month, or $4.9 a month billed yearly, and Waveloop Creator is $15 a month. Both have a free plan, and Waveloop Hobby includes unlimited DMs.
Can I move my Hypello automations to Waveloop?
There is no direct import from Hypello. Recreate each comment to DM automation by picking the post, keyword and DM, or import several at once from a CSV file within your plan's automation limit.
Can I use Hypello and Waveloop at the same time?
Yes, on different posts. If both tools watch the same post, one comment can trigger two DMs, so turn Hypello off on that post first.
Does Waveloop automate Facebook like Hypello?
No. Waveloop is built for Instagram only.
Do I need a card to try Waveloop?
No. Hobby is free with no card. Paid plans start with a 7-day free trial, which asks for a card and takes the first payment on day 7.
