Free covers 1 Instagram account, 1 active automation and up to 100 leads, with unlimited replies. Pro is ₹149 a month or ₹999 a year in India, or $2.99 a month or $30 a year elsewhere, for 5 automations and 1,000 leads. Creator is ₹249 or $4.99 a month, with unlimited automations, 3 accounts and 2,500 leads. Plans are prepaid and do not renew on their own.
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.
Where they overlap.
Maedix and Waveloop both answer Instagram comments with a DM. Someone comments your keyword and can get a public reply and a DM with your link. Both run on Instagram's official API, and both are Meta Tech Providers. Waveloop is also an Official Meta Business Partner. Both give you a link in bio page, and both let you manage automations from Claude.
Where Maedix does more.
Maedix is built around a visual flow builder. You can branch by follower status, check whether someone has interacted with you before, and add tappable reply buttons. Emails, phone numbers and answers land in a leads view you can export.
Its AI goes further today. On paid plans, an AI sales agent can take over a conversation, qualify the lead, answer from your business details and share your buy or booking link. Waveloop's AI agent, on the Business plan, drafts replies from your own knowledge for you to review in the dashboard. It does not answer DMs on its own yet.
Maedix is also far cheaper. Pro is ₹149 a month or ₹999 a year in India, and $2.99 a month elsewhere. Its plans are prepaid and do not renew on their own.
What Waveloop gives you.
Waveloop starts automations from story replies and from keywords people DM you, as well as from comments. Maedix lists keyword triggers for comments only.
The free plans are set up differently. Maedix Free gives you 1 active automation and up to 100 leads, with unlimited replies. Waveloop Hobby gives you 3 automations, 50 new contacts a month and unlimited DMs, with no card. Each Hobby automation runs on one post or reel.
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 and automations on any post or your next post, with no cap on contacts or automations. It also adds Intelligence, which shows which posts bring you contacts. You can connect Waveloop to Claude or ChatGPT and create automations by chatting.
Which one fits you.
Pick Maedix if the lowest price matters most, or you want an AI agent that chats with leads on its own. Pick Waveloop if you want story replies and DM keywords covered, and no contact cap once you upgrade. See every plan on the pricing page.

FAQ
Waveloop and Maedix, answered.
Is Waveloop a good Maedix alternative?
Yes, if you want story replies and DM keywords covered as well as comments, and no contact limit once you upgrade. If the lowest price matters most, Maedix costs less.
Is Waveloop cheaper than Maedix?
No. Maedix Pro is ₹149 a month in India or $2.99 elsewhere, and Waveloop Creator is ₹1,499 a month plus GST or $15. Creator includes unlimited contacts and automations, while Maedix caps leads by plan.
Can I move my Maedix automations to Waveloop?
There is no direct import from Maedix. You recreate each comment to DM automation in a few steps, or import several at once from a CSV file, within your plan's automation limit. Branching flows do not carry over, because Waveloop has no flow builder.
Can I use Maedix and Waveloop at the same time?
Yes, on different posts. If both tools run on the same post, one comment can trigger two DMs, so turn Maedix off on any post you move to Waveloop.
Does Waveloop have a flow builder like Maedix?
No. In Waveloop you pick a trigger, write the DM and switch it on. On Creator, an automation can still ask for a follow or an email before the link arrives.
Does Waveloop work with Claude like Maedix?
Yes. You can connect Waveloop to Claude or ChatGPT and create automations by chatting. The same plan limits apply as in the dashboard.
