The short version

ReplyKaro has very low rupee pricing: Starter ₹99 a month (30,000 DMs), Pro ₹299 for unlimited automations and DMs, Growth ₹449 for five accounts, Agency Pro ₹999 for ten, and Instagram + Facebook bundles from ₹399. Its free plan includes a follow gate, its API is on every plan, it runs an MCP server, Facebook automation and a Fan Mode loyalty system, and its AI Studio answers from approved facts with a casual-Hinglish preset. ViralDM's Starter is ₹499 — about 1.7 times ReplyKaro Pro — and the difference is inside the DM: UPI payments with the screenshot checked, AI replies in the follower's detected language from your price list, voice notes understood, booking, AI calls and a 0% store.

In detail

ViralDM and ReplyKaro, in detail

✨01

What ReplyKaro does well

Very low rupee pricing: unlimited automations and DMs for ₹299, and Instagram + Facebook together for ₹399.
A developer API on every plan, plus an MCP server for Claude, Cursor and VS Code.
Follow gate and Fan Mode loyalty even on the free plan.
A dated AI fact sheet that admits its limits (no WhatsApp, no DM to new followers).

🔍02

Where ViralDM is different

The sale happens in the DM: UPI QR and Pay button, the screenshot checked by AI, and the product delivered once the payment is approved.
Every plan detects nine Indian languages, and from Starter the AI answers in the follower's own language from your price list — 3,000 replies a month on Starter, not 100.
Voice notes understood, Live-comment replies, booking from your real free slots and AI phone calls.
A store and bio page with 0% fees, a media kit and a brand-deal tracker.

✨03

Which one should you pick?

Pick ReplyKaro if you need the cheapest unlimited link-drop DMs, or Instagram and Facebook together on a tight budget. Pick ViralDM if followers ask questions and pay inside the chat — the extra ₹200 over ReplyKaro Pro buys AI replies, payment checks and calls.

Questions

ViralDM or ReplyKaro?

Something missing? Ask us

Why would anyone pay ₹499 when ReplyKaro is ₹99?

ReplyKaro Starter (₹99) and Pro (₹299, unlimited) are great for sending a link to everyone who comments. ViralDM Starter (₹499) is for when the DM is where you sell: AI replies in the follower's language (3,000 a month), UPI payments with the screenshot checked, voice notes, booking and AI calls. If you only drop links, ReplyKaro Pro is the cheaper tool.

Does ReplyKaro support Hindi replies?

Their site says DMs and keywords can be written in Hindi or Hinglish, and AI Studio has a casual-Hinglish preset; you choose the allowed languages, and automatic detection is not stated (read 15 Oct 2026). ViralDM detects nine Indian languages on every plan and replies in the one the follower used from Starter.

Does ReplyKaro have an MCP server?

Yes — at replykaro.com/api/mcp, with 8 tools, alongside a REST API on every plan. ViralDM's has 58 tools and works on every plan — read-only on Free, read and write from Starter.

Can I keep ReplyKaro and add ViralDM?

Yes, on different posts or accounts — for example ReplyKaro for link drops on old Reels and ViralDM for the posts where you sell. Never point both at the same post: Instagram allows one private reply per comment.
