Where they overlap.
ReplyRush and Waveloop do the same core job on Instagram. Someone comments your keyword on a post or reel, replies to your story or DMs you a keyword, and they get your DM. Both can ask people to follow you before the link arrives, both can collect an email inside the DM, and both count clicks on the links you send.
ReplyRush also automates Facebook Page DMs, and each plan includes as many Facebook accounts as Instagram accounts. Waveloop is built only for Instagram.

ReplyRush costs less once you start paying. Lite is $10 a month (₹900) for 7,500 DMs, and it already includes follow-gated DMs, the email collector, public comment replies and follow-ups. Boost is $25 a month for 40,000 DMs and 3 accounts. MAX is $100 a month for 400,000 DMs and 5 accounts.
Its free plan sends 1,500 DMs a month with up to 5 triggers per Instagram account. Its inbox automation is described as AI-powered auto replies for common messages.
Where Waveloop is different.
The free plans limit different things. Waveloop Hobby gives you unlimited DMs, 3 automations and 50 new contacts a month, with public comment replies included and no card. ReplyRush Free caps DMs and keeps public replies for paid plans. On Hobby, each automation runs on one specific post or reel. Everyone who comments is saved as a contact you can search and export.
Waveloop Creator costs $15 a month or $150 a year, or ₹1,499 a month plus GST in India. DMs, contacts and automations are all unlimited. It adds follow to unlock, email collection, card replies and automations on any post or your next post. Business adds an AI agent that drafts DM replies from your own knowledge for you to review.
You can also connect Waveloop to Claude or ChatGPT and create automations by chatting, with the same limits as your plan. See the pricing page.
