Checklist

How to choose an Instagram DM automation tool

Eight things to check before you connect your account.

What should I look for in an Instagram DM automation tool?

First check that it uses Meta's official API and never asks for your Instagram password. Then compare the real limits of the free plan, the price in rupees, and whether it protects your account by spacing out messages.

The best tool is the one that fits how many DMs you send, so work that out first.
