BuzzWire
Instagram DM automation for comments, keywords and story replies
BuzzWire turns Instagram engagement into owned audience. When someone comments your keyword, replies to your story, or DMs you, BuzzWire sends an automatic reply with your link instantly, in seconds, every time. Built on Meta's official API, not bots or scraping. Messages are paced like a human sent them, personalized with the commenter's name, and rotated through variations so spam filters never see the same message twice. Each person gets a maximum of one DM per 24 hours. The free plan includes unlimited DMs, unlimited automations, comment-to-DM, keyword replies, story replies, multi-step flows, spintax variations and the complete safety suite. Pro adds follower gating, in-DM email capture, rich image cards and branded removal.
Chatfuel
AI agents that answer DMs and comments
Chatfuel sits in the same place as Manychat and leans harder on the AI half: rather than only matching keywords to canned replies, it will hold a conversation and try to close a sale in the DM. That suits a creator selling a product more than one collecting emails. The free tier is thin enough to be a demo.
