Both automate your Instagram DMs.
LinkPlease and Waveloop both send a DM when someone comments your keyword on a post or reel. Both answer story replies and DMs. Both run on Instagram's official API, and both are Meta Tech Providers. Waveloop is also an Official Meta Business Partner.
LinkPlease puts account safety first. Every send goes through a paced queue, and paid plans add AI message variations, comment moderation that hides spam, and a detector that flags brand deal DMs. It also lists share to DM, Instagram Live automation and Re-trigger, which sends DMs to comments from the last 7 days. Its site says it now works with Facebook and Messenger too.
Where LinkPlease does more.
The LinkPlease free plan is generous. You get unlimited automations, 1,000 DMs and 1,000 contacts a month, with no card. Ask for follow, Re-trigger and data collection are left out of Free and start on Pro.
In India, LinkPlease costs much less. Pro is ₹499 a month, or ₹4,788 a year. Outside India, Pro is $14.99 a month or $139.99 a year.
What Waveloop gives you.
On Waveloop, comment to DM, story replies and DM keywords work on every plan. Hobby is free with no card: 3 automations, 50 new contacts a month and unlimited DMs. Each Hobby automation runs on one post or reel, and the DM can carry a link button.
Creator costs $15 a month or $150 a year, and ₹1,499 a month plus GST in India. It adds follow to unlock, email collection, card replies with an image, title and button, and automations on any post or your next post.
