ReplySync automates Instagram DMs and comments with a visual builder of triggers, conditions and actions. Its higher plans add an AI agent you train to reply in your brand's voice, custom lead forms and contact export. It also runs a marketplace where you can buy and sell automation templates. ReplySync takes a fee on each sale, from 25% on Lite down to 5% on Pro. It says the platform is Meta-approved.
Where ReplySync is stronger.
ReplySync is built for teams and agencies. Pro covers up to 20 Instagram accounts and 5 team members on one plan, and its builder lets you branch a conversation with conditions. Its AI agent is designed to reply to messages for you, with 1,000 AI credits a month on Semi and 3,000 on Pro. If you want to sell automations you have built, the marketplace gives you a way to do that.
What Waveloop offers.
Waveloop covers the core moments on Instagram: comments, story replies and keywords people DM you. Each one sends your DM with a link button. Everyone who comments is saved as a contact you can search and export. On Creator, you can ask people to follow you first or collect their email inside the DM.
Waveloop has no flow builder. You set up each automation in a few fields: the post, the keyword and the message. Business adds an AI agent that drafts replies from your own knowledge for you to review in the dashboard. You can also connect Waveloop to Claude or ChatGPT and create automations by chatting.

Can I move my ReplySync automations to Waveloop?

Can I use ReplySync and Waveloop at the same time?
Yes, on different posts. If both tools watch the same post and keyword, people can get two DMs, so turn the ReplySync automation off on that post first.
