DropThis turns Instagram comments into instant DMs. Someone comments your keyword on a post or reel, and your link lands in their inbox in under a second, automatically, day or night. It solves a simple problem: "link in bio" makes people dig through your profile, and most never do. DropThis catches that interest the moment it happens and sends your link straight to the person who commented, while the post is still fresh in their mind.
Setup takes about 30 seconds. You pick one keyword, connect your account, and it handles every matching comment from then on. No flow builder, no funnels, nothing to maintain. It works on feed posts and reels.
DropThis is the simpler, cheaper alternative to ManyChat. Instead of building out multi-step automations, you set one keyword and you're done. The free plan includes 100 DMs a month, and Pro is $12/month for unlimited drops and 5,000 DMs. Built for creators, coaches, and brands who want to turn engagement into clicks without the complexity of a full chatbot platform.
WilloSend is a comment-to-DM automation platform built for creators, coaches, and course sellers who want to turn Instagram engagement into leads and sales.

WilloSend's answer:
Most competitors of WilloSend charge you based on number of contacts but we don't. We only charge you a flat monthly fee for a set number of DMs and when your post goes viral, we don't stop the automations or penalize you. We allow you free-overages and continue the automations giving you sufficient time to upgrade.

DropThis's answer
DropThis came out of a simple frustration: people act in the moment, but "link in bio" makes them dig through a profile, and most never do. The goal was to answer every commenter instantly, while the post is still fresh, without the overhead of a full chatbot platform. We also run DropThis on our own Instagram, so every demo doubles as both the product and the marketing.
DropThis's answer
DropThis is built on the official Instagram Graph API, which is how it reads comments and sends DMs. Messages are only sent in response to someone commenting your keyword, never unsolicited, which keeps it within Instagram's rules.
