Before you choose
What to check in any Instagram auto DM tool
- It connects through Instagram’s own login (the official Instagram API), so you never share your password.
- The free plan limit is per day or per month. 1,000 DMs a month and 1,000 DMs a day are very different.
- It covers the triggers you need: comments on posts and reels, keyword DMs, story mentions.
- Prices are in rupees, or you are ready for card charges in dollars.
- Support answers in a language you are comfortable with.
- You can disconnect and delete your data whenever you want.

FAQ
Choosing a tool: questions
What is the difference between a daily and a monthly DM limit?
A daily limit resets every day, so a busy reel can keep sending DMs tomorrow. A monthly limit is shared across the whole month, so one viral post can use it up in a day. Check which one a free plan uses before you compare numbers.
Do Instagram auto DM tools need my Instagram password?
Tools built on the official Instagram API connect through Instagram’s own login screen, so they never see your password. Comment Kro works this way, and you can disconnect it from Settings or from Instagram at any time.
Can I move from another tool to Comment Kro?
There is no import tool, but an automation is just a post, a keyword and a message, so most people recreate theirs in a few minutes. Turn off or disconnect the old tool first so the same comment doesn’t get two DMs.
