Their InstaChamp page offers a free VIP Edition as a limited-time gift, with 250 contacts and replies for up to 5 DM keywords. Platinum is listed at $19 a month, shown next to a limited-time price of $9.95, with 1,000 contacts. Extra contacts cost $10 per 500. Customers.ai's main pricing page does not list InstaChamp plans.
Waveloop
Flat prices. No charge per contact. Hobby is free with no card. Creator is $15 a month, or ₹1,499 plus GST in India, with unlimited contacts.
Both answer Instagram DMs automatically.
InstaChamp is the DM automation tool from Customers.ai, the company formerly called MobileMonkey. It covers Instagram DMs and Facebook Messenger. It replies to DM keywords, story mentions and story reactions, and sends follow-up DMs to people who comment on your posts.
Waveloop is built only for Instagram. Someone comments GUIDE on your reel, replies to your story or DMs you a word, and your message goes back to them with a link. You pick the post, story or keyword, write the DM, and switch it on. Everyone who comments is saved as a contact you can search and export.
Where InstaChamp is stronger.
Facebook Messenger. If you sell through a Facebook Page as well as Instagram, InstaChamp handles both from one place.
It also sits inside a larger company. Customers.ai sells website visitor identification, email and ad tracking tools. If you already use those, keeping DMs with the same company may suit you.
Platinum collects emails and phone numbers in DMs and lets replies change based on the conversation path.
