ReplyRush handles the reply. Reachook handles what the reply is for: AI conversations in your brand voice, a Graph-API-verified follow gate, a native link-in-bio page with lead forms, and a CRM that makes every commenter a contact you own — all on the official Meta API, from $10/month flat.
ReplyRush covers the popular basics — comment-to-DM, story replies, keyword triggers — with a generous free tier. Creators look for a ReplyRush alternative when the basics stop being the bottleneck: when DMs need to answer questions rather than paste templates, when viral reach should convert into verified followers, and when leads need to live in an exportable CRM instead of a reply log. Reachook is built for that second stage.

The AI reads each comment’s context and sentiment and writes a natural reply in your brand voice — questions get answers, not canned text.
Require a genuine follow — checked through the Graph API — before your lead magnet releases. Reach becomes followers, verifiably.
A block-based bio page with embedded lead forms ships inside the same subscription, wired straight into your automations.
Every commenter becomes a contact: trigger comment, conversation, captured email. Export the whole list to CSV anytime.
Paid plans carry unlimited DM volume with viral-spike queuing inside Meta’s rate limits — flat price, no counter anxiety.
OAuth 2.0, no scraping, no password sharing — the same compliance footing, with rate limits respected natively.

The auto-reply category is converging: every tool sends a DM when someone comments a keyword. The differences that matter now sit after the reply. Does the tool answer the follow-up question at 2 a.m., or does the lead go cold? Did the viral post produce verified followers, or just delivered messages? Can you export the people who engaged, or do they live in a reply log you can’t take with you?
Reachook’s answer to all three is structural: AI conversations instead of templates, a Graph-API-verified follow gate instead of a polite ask, and a CRM with CSV export instead of a send counter. Same reply speed, same official API — the difference is everything downstream.
ReplyRush’s free tier is bigger on raw DM volume — 1,500 listed against Reachook’s 1,000 — and if a high free ceiling for simple template replies is all you need, it’s a fair pick. Reachook’s case starts where templates stop: AI that actually converses, follower conversion you can verify, email capture on a page you control, and an exportable audience. Both free tiers cost nothing. Run your next post through each and let your own conversion numbers decide.

DM automation in IndiaReachook is a strong ReplyRush alternative for creators who’ve outgrown template replies. It covers the same comment-to-DM and story-reply basics on the official Meta API, then adds AI conversations in your brand voice, an API-verified follow gate, a native link-in-bio builder, and a CRM with CSV export. Paid plans start at $10/month with unlimited DMs.
On listed DM volume, yes — ReplyRush advertises 1,500 free DMs/month to Reachook’s 1,000. Reachook’s free plan counters with the full link-in-bio builder, CRM contacts, and lead capture included. If raw free volume is your only criterion, ReplyRush wins that line; the comparison changes when you count the funnel around the DMs.
Keyword replies match a word and paste a message. Reachook’s AI reads the whole comment — context, sentiment, language — and writes a specific reply in your configured tone. "Is this good for beginners?" gets an actual answer, not your link template. That difference is what turns replies into sales conversations.
Yes. Connect Instagram through Meta OAuth, recreate your keyword and story triggers, and disable the old tool once you’ve confirmed delivery. The triggers are simple enough that most creators complete the move within an hour, with no gap in coverage.
Both start around $10/month for paid plans. Reachook’s plans include unlimited DMs, the AI reply engine, follow gate, bio builder, and CRM at that price; Indian creators pay in rupees via Razorpay with UPI. Check both pricing pages for current details — plans change.
