LinkDM made comment-to-DM link delivery popular. Reachook does the same instant delivery on the official Meta API — then adds AI replies in your brand voice, a verified follow gate, a native link-in-bio builder, and a CRM you can export. Same free 1,000 DMs a month, lower paid entry.
LinkDM is built around one job: replying to comments with a DM containing your link. Creators start looking for a LinkDM alternative when they want what happens after the link — AI conversations that answer questions, a follow gate that converts commenters into followers, a bio page that captures emails, and a CRM that turns every interaction into an owned contact. Reachook ships all of that in one flat-priced platform.
Last updated: July 2026
Real-time Meta webhooks fire the DM within seconds of the comment — on posts, Reels, stories, and mentions. You lose nothing on speed.
Beyond dropping a link, Reachook’s AI reads each comment and answers questions in your brand voice — price, contents, fit — automatically.
Require a genuine, Graph-API-checked follow before the link releases — every viral post converts reach into followers.
A full block-based bio page with lead forms ships inside Reachook — not a separate subscription bolted on.
Every commenter becomes a contact with conversation history and captured emails — exportable anytime. You own the list.
Both tools offer 1,000 free DMs a month. Reachook’s paid plans start at $10/month with unlimited DMs — billed in rupees via Razorpay for Indian creators.

The comment-to-DM link drop is step one of a funnel, and a tool that only does step one leaves the rest to you. Who asked a question instead of commenting the keyword? Who got the link but never followed you? Which post actually produced email subscribers? With a delivery-only tool, those answers live in your memory or a spreadsheet.
Reachook closes the loop in one system: the AI answers the questions, the follow gate converts the commenters, the bio page captures the emails, and the CRM records all of it per contact — exportable to CSV whenever you want. Same delivery speed, same official Meta API, more of the funnel.
If your entire use case is "someone comments LINK, they get my link," LinkDM does that well and its free tier is generous. Switch when the gaps start costing you: unanswered questions in your DMs, viral posts that didn’t grow your following, leads you can’t export. Both free tiers cost nothing — run your next post through both and keep the one that moves your numbers.

DM automation in IndiaReachook is a strong LinkDM alternative: it matches instant comment-to-DM link delivery on the official Meta API and adds AI replies in your brand voice, an API-verified follow gate, a native link-in-bio builder, and a CRM with CSV export.

Yes. Both tools listen to Meta’s real-time webhooks, so the DM goes out within seconds of the comment. Delivery speed is a property of the official API, not a differentiator between API-based tools.
Your triggers are quick to recreate: connect Instagram via Meta OAuth, add the same keywords, attach the same links. Most creators run a handful of link automations and finish the move in under half an hour.
Then LinkDM will serve you fine — it’s a competent tool at its one job. Reachook earns the switch when you want the funnel around the link: AI conversations, verified follows, email capture on a bio page, and a contact list you can export and own.
Free plan, no credit card, official Meta API. Your next viral post shouldn't go to waste.
