From a credit balance to a message count
Zorcha sends unlimited DMs and bills the AI behind them. Moving to inDM trades unlimited sending for a bill you can forecast — worth it for some setups, not all.
The pricing delta
Zorcha, checked 2026-08-14. Free $0/₹0 with 15,000 AI credits, 3 automations and unlimited DMs. Pro $14.99/₹1,199 with 150,000 credits and unlimited automations. Ultimate $39.99/₹2,999 with 1.5M credits. Business $109.99/₹8,999 with 7.5M credits. These are month-to-month rates — their page defaults to Monthly, not to a discounted view.
inDM, as of 2026-08-12. Free forever at 1,000 messages a month, then Growth at $9.99 for 10,000 or $19.99 for 30,000, plus $1 per extra 1,000. No credit system.
Be honest with yourself about volume before moving. Zorcha sends unlimited DMs on every tier including free. inDM does not. If you are pushing 30,000 simple keyword-to-link sends a month through three automations, their free plan is doing something our $19.99 plan cannot, and switching would cost you money for no gain.
The move makes sense when the credit meter is the problem rather than the message count — when your bill has become hard to predict, when a balance has run out mid-month, or when you want more than three automations without moving to a paid tier. inDM's free plan has unlimited automations and unlimited keywords at 1,000 messages a month; the paid plans add volume and nothing else.
One adjustment when estimating: a link delivery here spends two messages, the invite and the link. Follow-gate prompts are never counted.
Theirs → ours
| In Zorcha | In inDM | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| AI credits (15K / 150K / 1.5M / 7.5M) | No credit system | Nothing in inDM is gated on a balance. |
| Unlimited DMs on every tier | 1,000 free, then 10,000 or 30,000/month | A real trade — theirs is unlimited and ours is not. |
| 3 automations on free | Unlimited automations and keywords, free included | The cap disappears rather than moving up a tier. |
| Comment and story triggers | Comment, story reply and DM keywords | Attached to the post the automation runs on. |
| AI-composed replies | Not available | inDM does not sell AI credits or position as an AI reply tool. |
Moving day, step by step
Count your sends before anything else
Pull your monthly DM volume from Zorcha. If it is well above 10,000 and your automations are simple, their unlimited free tier beats our paid plans and the honest advice is to stay. If you are under that, or the credit meter is what's causing you trouble, keep going.
Check what your automations depend on
If AI is composing your replies, inDM does not replace that — we do not sell AI credits and do not position as an AI reply tool. Rebuild the automations as keyword-and-template flows or stay where you are.
Connect Instagram to inDM
Sign up and connect through Instagram's own login — inDM never sees your password. Connect every account you run; there is no cap and no per-account charge.
Rebuild past the 3-automation cap
If you have been rationing to fit Zorcha's free-tier limit of three, this is where that goes away. Open My Content, pick each post, set the keyword and write the DM — the live preview renders it exactly as Instagram will. Keep Zorcha connected while you verify, pausing each of their automations as its replacement goes live.

- Follow-gate prompts that are never billed
- No cap on connected Instagram accounts
- Zorcha sends unlimited DMs on every tier including free. inDM does not — if raw volume is your whole story, stay.
- No AI-composed replies. inDM does not sell AI credits and is not building toward that.
- Zorcha quotes INR on its India page; inDM bills in USD at $9.99 a month wherever you are.

- Figures checked 2026-08-14 (Zorcha) and 2026-08-12 (inDM).
Questions, answered plainly
Should I switch from Zorcha to inDM?
Not if you send high volume through simple automations — Zorcha's free tier is unlimited DMs at $0 and inDM's paid plans cap at 30,000 plus overage. The switch makes sense when the AI credit meter is the problem: an unpredictable bill, a balance that runs out, or the 3-automation cap on their free tier.
Does inDM do AI-written replies like Zorcha?
No. inDM does not sell AI credits and does not position itself as an AI reply tool. Automations run on keywords and templates you write, with a live preview showing exactly what will send. If you want a model composing your DMs, Zorcha is built for that and we are not.
Will my sending volume be capped after switching?
Yes, and this is the honest trade. Zorcha is unlimited on every tier; inDM is 1,000 messages free, then 10,000 at $9.99 or 30,000 at $19.99 with $1 per extra 1,000 above. Count last month's sends before you move.
