RapidDM is a well-built India-made tool. But it offers only a 3-day trial before you pay, and doesn't cover IG Live auto-reply or multi-account agency management. ReplyKo costs the same — with 100 free automations per month, all four Instagram triggers, and an agency plan for managing multiple accounts.
Free plan: 100 automations/mo · Creator plan: ₹499/mo · Agency plan: ₹2,499/mo for 30 accounts.
RapidDM
₹499/month. 3-day trial. Single plan.
Audio DMs, next-post auto-trigger, timed follow-up sequences. No permanent free plan. No agency structure.
ReplyKo
₹499/month. Free plan. Agency plan.
Comment, story, live, keyword triggers. 100 free automations/month. Agency plan at ₹2,499/month for 30 accounts.
Same price, different gaps
Both are India-built Instagram automation tools at ₹499/month. The difference is in free plan access, trigger coverage, and multi-account support.
Free plan vs free trial
A 3-day trial covers one campaign at best. A real free plan lets you test on multiple posts, see how story replies perform, and understand your audience's engagement before you commit.

Honest comparison
RapidDM has real features that ReplyKo doesn't. Here's the complete, honest picture.
ReplyKo fits better when…
You want to test properly before paying anything
100 automations/month free — forever. Run comment triggers on a real post, test story reply automation, see how your audience responds. RapidDM's 3-day trial doesn't give you the same runway.
You need IG Live auto-reply
ReplyKo fires DMs on keyword comments during Instagram Lives. Capture your live audience engagement automatically — a trigger type RapidDM doesn't cover.
You manage multiple Instagram accounts or clients
ReplyKo's Agency plan: 30 accounts, 10 workspaces, 50 team seats at ₹2,499/month. RapidDM is a single-account tool with no agency structure.
You want all four trigger types at the same ₹499/month price
Comment, story reply, IG Live, and keyword DM — all included in ReplyKo Creator. At the same price as RapidDM, you get broader trigger coverage.
RapidDM fits better when…
You want to send audio/voice messages as DMs
RapidDM lets you upload AAC/M4A/WAV/MP4 audio files that play directly inside the DM. A genuinely unique feature — if a voice note creates more connection than text, this matters.
You want smart follow-up sequences with conditions
Set delays from 5 minutes to 23 hours. Fire the follow-up only if the message was seen, or only if they didn't react. This kind of conditional sequencing isn't available in ReplyKo.
You want the trigger to auto-lock to your newest post
RapidDM's 'next post' trigger automatically attaches to your most recent content — no manual switching required. Useful for creators who post consistently and don't want to update triggers after each post.
You run very high-volume DM campaigns
RapidDM is built around intelligent volume pacing for high-throughput sending — useful for accounts sending tens of thousands of DMs per campaign.
RapidDM's audio DMs and conditional follow-ups are real differentiators. If those are core to your strategy, they're worth the tradeoff. If you just need reliable DM automation across all four Instagram trigger types with a real free plan, ReplyKo covers that better.
Both tools share these foundations
Who this is for
100 free automations per month — comment triggers, story replies, keyword DMs. No credit card. Test it on your next post and your next story before you pay a rupee. RapidDM's 3-day trial doesn't give you the same window.
ReplyKo's IG Live auto-reply fires DMs when people comment a keyword during your live. Turn your most engaged audience moments into direct conversations without being in your inbox. RapidDM doesn't cover this trigger.
ReplyKo's Agency plan: 30 connected accounts, 10 workspaces, 50 team seats at ₹2,499/month flat. One invoice, one dashboard, clean client separation. RapidDM has no equivalent multi-account agency structure.
Getting started
Automation configs don't transfer between tools. You rebuild your keyword triggers in ReplyKo — 3–5 minutes each — and you're live.
Authorize ReplyKo with your Instagram via Meta's official OAuth. Same account you use for RapidDM. Takes 2 minutes.
Set your keyword, pick which posts it applies to, write your DM. Most creators have 1–3 active automations — 3–5 minutes each.
ReplyKo's free plan gives you 100 automation fires to test with. Once you've confirmed it fires on real comments and story replies — cancel RapidDM.
FAQ
RapidDM is an Instagram DM automation tool built in India for creators. It's known for its audio message DMs (voice notes in AAC/M4A/WAV format that play directly in the DM), a 'next post' trigger that auto-locks to your newest content, and smart follow-up sequences with conditions like 'message seen' and 'not reacted' with delays up to 23 hours. It costs ₹499/month with a 3-day free trial.
Three main things: a permanent free plan (100 automation fires/month vs RapidDM's 3-day trial), IG Live auto-reply (fire DMs on keyword comments during Instagram Lives), and an Agency plan (30 accounts, 10 workspaces, 50 team seats at ₹2,499/month). Both tools cost ₹499/month for their core Creator plan and cover comment-to-DM, story reply, keyword triggers, and follow-gating.
Audio/voice message DMs — you can send WAV/AAC/M4A audio files that play directly inside the DM, giving your automation a more human feel. RapidDM also offers conditional follow-up sequences (delay 5min–23hrs, trigger only if 'message seen' or 'not reacted') and a 'next post' trigger that auto-attaches to your most recent content without manual switching.
RapidDM is built on Meta's official Instagram API. It's not a bot or grey-area automation tool — same as ReplyKo. Your account risk is no different from connecting any officially approved app.
You can use RapidDM's 3-day trial and ReplyKo's permanent free plan (100 automations/month) to compare them side by side. Connect both to the same Instagram account via Meta OAuth, run the same keyword trigger on both, and see which workflow feels better. Just don't activate the same keyword in both at once — you'll get duplicate DMs.
Yes. ReplyKo's Agency plan covers 30 connected Instagram accounts, 10 workspaces (one per client), and 50 team seats at ₹2,499/month flat. RapidDM is a creator-focused single-plan tool without a comparable agency management structure.

Comment, story, live, keyword triggers. 100 free automations/month. No card, no expiry.
