Three meters down to none
ReplyRush rations messages, connected accounts and triggers separately. Moving to inDM removes all three meters and replaces them with one yes/no question, and here's where staying is still the better call.
The pricing delta
ReplyRush, checked 2026-08-14 (USD and INR, as they publish it): Free $0/₹0 for 1,500 DMs with no comment auto-reply and no follow gate; Lite $10/₹900 for 7,500 DMs with branding still on; Boost $25/₹2,100 for 40,000 DMs; MAX $100/₹8,400 for 400,000 DMs. Connected accounts run 1/1/3/5 and global triggers run 5/20/50/500 per account.
inDM, as of 2026-10-12: Free forever with unlimited messages, then Growth at $4.99 for the first month and $14.99 after. No allowance and no overage, and Growth runs unlimited automations. Free connects one Instagram account; Growth removes app branding and connects up to 5 Instagram accounts, two of the things it adds.
At the entry tier they are now cheaper on price and we are unbounded on volume: Lite is $10 for 7,500 DMs against Growth at $14.99 for unlimited. Above Lite it stops being close: Boost is $25 for 40,000 and MAX is $100 for 400,000, both more than unlimited costs here. And neither their free tier nor Lite is permitted to run comment auto-reply or the follow gate at any price.
But the honest way to price this switch is not per DM. It is to ask what your current tier is allowed to do. If you are on Free or Lite, you are paying for a plan that cannot run comment auto-reply or a follow gate and still puts ReplyRush branding on your messages. The comparable inDM plan is free and has neither restriction.
There is nothing to estimate on our side. Whatever your ReplyRush tier turns out to need, the inDM figure is $0, or $14.99 on Growth.
Theirs → ours
| In ReplyRush | In inDM | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly DM allowance (4 tiers) | No allowance, one plan | Different units now. Theirs is a number you spend, ours is not a number at all. |
| 1 / 1 / 3 / 5 connected accounts | Up to 5 connected accounts on Growth | More in one workspace on the agency plans. |
| 5 / 20 / 50 / 500 global triggers per account | Unlimited keywords on every automation | Included on the free plan too. |
| Comment auto-reply (Lite and above) | Comment-to-DM on every plan | Including the free one, it's the core mechanic, not an upsell. |
| Follow gate (Lite and above) | Follow gate on every plan | Theirs needs Lite at $10; ours is on the free plan. |
| Email capture | Email capture gate | The DM asks for the email before delivering the link. |
| Remove branding (Boost, $25) | App branding removed on Growth ($14.99) | Removed for $10 less than Boost, and without Boost's 40,000-DM ceiling. |
| Facebook automation on all tiers | Not available | inDM is Instagram-only by design. This is a genuine loss if you use it. |
| Up to 5 accounts on MAX | Every client account in one workspace | Up to 5 accounts on Growth, 15 on Agency Lite for $39 a month, 30 on Agency Pro for $99 and then $3 each. Clients connect their own accounts from a link you send. |
Moving day, step by step
Check whether you actually use Facebook
ReplyRush includes Facebook accounts at parity with Instagram on every tier, and inDM does not do Facebook at all. If Messenger automation is live and earning, this switch costs you something real, decide that first.
Connect Instagram to inDM
Sign up and connect through Instagram's own login, inDM never sees your password. Connect the accounts you run: up to 5 on Growth with no per-account charge, and more on an agency plan.
Rebuild your triggers without the cap
If you have been rationing automations to fit a 5- or 20-trigger limit, this is where that constraint disappears. Open My Content, pick each post, set the keyword and write the DM, the live preview renders it exactly as Instagram will.
Run both, then retire the old ones
Keep ReplyRush connected while you verify. Two tools answering the same keyword on the same post will both fire, so pause each ReplyRush automation as its inDM replacement goes live.
- Comment-to-DM and both gates on a free plan, where ReplyRush's free tier excludes comment auto-reply and the follow gate entirely
- One connected Instagram account on Free, and no cap at all on Growth, against their 1 / 1 / 3 / 5 ladder
- No cap on automations or keywords, the 5/20/50/500 trigger ladder goes away
- Branding removed at $14.99 rather than at Boost's $25, and with no 40,000-DM ceiling attached to it
- No message meter on either plan, so a viral post cannot move the bill
- No Facebook automation. ReplyRush includes it on every tier; inDM is Instagram-only by design.
- At Boost ($25 / 40,000 DMs) and MAX ($100 / 400,000) their per-message rate beats ours. High-volume senders should price it carefully.
- ReplyRush quotes INR on the page; inDM bills in USD. Compare the actual figures rather than the currency.
- Conversation history cannot transfer between tools. Export what you need first; contacts rebuild as people engage.
- Figures checked 2026-08-14 (ReplyRush) and 2026-08-12 (inDM). Verify both pages before committing.
Questions, answered plainly
What do I lose moving from ReplyRush to inDM?
Facebook automation, primarily. ReplyRush includes Facebook accounts at parity with Instagram on every tier and inDM is deliberately Instagram-only. You would also give up their per-message rate at Boost and MAX, which is lower than ours. If either matters, staying is the right call.
Why is inDM's free plan better than ReplyRush's?
Because it can do the job. ReplyRush's free tier excludes comment auto-reply and the follow gate, the two mechanics most people install a DM tool for, and caps you at 5 global triggers with their branding on your messages. inDM's free plan has every automation type, unlimited keywords, the follow gate, analytics and the inbox, with no message limit. Both free tiers carry the vendor's branding; only one of them also decides which automations you may run.
Do the trigger caps really matter?
They do if you run more than a handful of automations. ReplyRush allows 5 global triggers per account on Free, 20 on Lite, 50 on Boost and 500 on MAX, so your tier decides how many automations can exist, not just how many messages they send. On inDM, keywords are unlimited on every automation on both plans, and Growth runs unlimited automations for $14.99 a month.
