“Free” means very different things across Instagram auto-DM apps. One gives you 25 contacts and then charges in dollars; another is free forever but adds its branding to your messages; another meters you in daily credits. Here’s what each one actually gives you for ₹0, as listed on their own pages in October 2026.
Plans change. Check each tool’s pricing page before you decide. A dash means the tool’s pages don’t say.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free Instagram auto DM app? +
Yes. Several tools have a free plan for comment-to-DM on Instagram. yudochat's Free plan answers up to 300 people a month across Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, with link buttons and a follow check included and no watermark. SuperProfile, ManyChat, Repli and ReplyKaro also have free tiers with different limits.
Which free auto DM app is best in India? +
It depends on what you need. If you're Instagram-only and sell digital products, SuperProfile's free plan is generous. If you also post on YouTube or run a Facebook Page, or manage clients, yudochat's free plan covers all three platforms and three client workspaces. ManyChat's free plan is limited to 25 contacts.
Do free auto DM apps put their branding on my messages? +
Some do. yudochat adds no branding to your DMs or replies on any plan, including Free. Check each tool's pricing page — some list 'remove branding' as a paid feature.
Is a free Instagram auto DM app safe? +
It is safe when the app uses Meta's official Instagram API and connects through Instagram's own login. Avoid any app that asks for your Instagram password or runs from a browser extension — those log into your account and can get it restricted.
Do I need a business account for Instagram auto DM? +
You need a professional account — Creator or Business. Switching is free and takes about 30 seconds in the Instagram app: profile → ☰ → Account type and tools → Switch to professional account.
How many DMs can I send free? +
On yudochat's Free plan, up to 300 people a month — a comment that gets both a public reply and a DM counts once. If a reel takes off, the Creator plan (₹199/month) answers up to 5,000 people, and Pro (₹499/month) is unlimited under fair use.
