Narrower by design
Broad automation suites can be powerful, but they also add flow-builder weight. CueDM keeps the campaign path tight: keyword, post, reply, link, result.
Manychat alternative
A focused Manychat alternative for Instagram comment-to-DM campaigns
CueDM turns keyword comments into Meta-compliant private replies, tracked links, campaign analytics, and client reports — and prices on the DMs you send rather than the contacts you collect. Manychat's free plan stops at 25 contacts. Ours does not count them at all.
Free plan, 1,000 DMs a month, no card required.
What you get
- Built around Instagram comments, posts, reels, and private replies.
- Official Meta API flow with no scraping or password sharing.
- Campaign templates, tracked links, and shareable client reports.
- Unlimited contacts on every plan, including free.
Agency proof
Tracked links and shareable reports make it easier to show clients what happened after the comment, not just that a message was sent.
Meta-first delivery
Comment events are processed through webhooks, queued, deduped, checked against limits, and sent as private replies using the comment ID.

CueDM
Contact-metered platforms
Setup
Create a keyword campaign for a specific post or reel.
Build and maintain a larger chatbot automation flow.
Reporting
Campaign-level sends, skips, failures, clicks, CTR, and client report links.
Usually broader conversation analytics that need cleanup for client reporting.
Positioning
Instagram comment-to-DM, done properly.
General DM automation across many channels and use cases.
What you pay for
Messages actually delivered. 1,000 a month free, then $15 flat.
Contacts stored, so the bill grows with an audience you may never message again.
Start from a template
Launch a campaign faster than building a chatbot flow
Use a campaign template, connect the right Instagram account, pick the post, and ship a measurable comment-to-DM loop.
Pricing
Priced on DMs sent, never on contacts
Your audience can grow to a million people without changing the bill. The only number that moves it is how many messages actually go out.

FAQ
Search questions, answered clearly
Is CueDM a full Manychat replacement?
No, and it does not try to be. CueDM is focused on Instagram comment-to-DM campaigns. If you need a full multi-channel chatbot suite, use a broad platform. If comment-to-DM is the job, CueDM does it for $15/month instead of a contact-metered bill.
What happens when my audience grows?
Nothing. Contacts are unlimited on every plan, free included. The only meter is DMs sent, so a post that reaches a million people costs the same as one that reaches a thousand unless you actually message them.
Does it support agencies?
Yes. The Studio plan at $39/month covers five Instagram professional accounts, team members with roles, per-account filters, analytics, and white-label client reports.
