Free auto reply
Free Instagram auto reply that answers before you have to
The same five questions arrive every day: price, hours, shipping, the link. Set a keyword once and autoreplyig answers them in DMs and comments, instantly, on the official Instagram API. 500 automated replies a month are free.
500 DMs a month free, forever. New accounts also get 14 days of Pro.
Short answer
autoreplyig gives Instagram creator and business accounts free auto replies. When a DM or comment contains a keyword you choose, it sends your reply automatically, with an optional link button. The free plan includes 500 automated messages a month and 3 automations.
The questions you can stop answering
Instagram saved replies vs a real auto reply
| Saved replies | autoreplyig Free | |
|---|---|---|
| Replies on their own | No, you tap a saved reply each time | Yes, on keyword |

| Price | Free | Free for 500 DMs a month |
When keywords are not enough
Keyword replies handle the questions you can predict. For the rest, Pro adds AI auto reply, which answers from notes you write about your business and stays quiet when the notes do not cover the question, so you never get a made-up answer. Pro also unlocks multi-step follow-ups and A/B tests on your replies. It is $12 a month, and new accounts get 14 days of it free.
What the free plan includes
Not a trial and not a demo. These stay on for as long as you use the account.
500 automated DMs a month
Resets on the 1st. No contact cap, so a reel that lands never uses up the plan by itself.
3 live automations
Each one can watch a post, a reel, every post, or your DMs for its keywords.
Comment to DM and DM keyword replies
Someone comments or messages a keyword, they get your DM in seconds, with an optional public reply.
Link buttons with click tracking
Every DM can carry a button. You see who clicked, per keyword, on the dashboard.
1 lead form, 1 document, 1 link page
Collect emails from the DM button, or send a hosted guide instead of a file link.
Official Instagram API
Meta OAuth only. We never see your password, and disconnecting deletes the stored tokens.
Free and Pro, side by side
Free is built to do one job well. Pro is for when automation becomes part of how you sell: more posts running at once, DMs only to followers, leads going straight into a sheet.
| Free | Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Automated DMs per month | 500 | Unlimited |
| Instagram accounts | 1 | 3 |
| Automations per account | 3 | 25 |
| Follow-up steps | 1 | 5 |
| Follow guard (DM only followers) | No | Yes |
| AI auto reply | No | 50 a day |
| A/B test messages | No | 3 variants |
| Google Sheets and webhooks | No | Yes |
| Scheduled DMs and broadcasts | No | Yes |
| Handoff to a human | No | Yes |
| Price | $0, no card | $12/mo |
Every new account starts on 14 days of Pro with no card. When it ends you drop to Free automatically and keep everything that fits inside it.
Questions about the free plan
Does Instagram have a free auto reply built in?+
Instagram has saved replies and FAQ prompts for professional accounts. They help, but you still tap each reply yourself, and none of them react to comments. An auto reply tool on the official API sends the reply for you.
Can I set up an Instagram away message for free?+
You can set a keyword auto reply that answers the common questions any time of day, which covers what most people want from an away message. On the free plan that is 3 automations and 500 replies a month.
Will auto replies feel robotic to my followers?+
Only if you write them that way. You write every message yourself, in your own voice, and it only goes to people who asked for that exact thing. On Pro, AI auto reply can also answer open questions using your own notes.
Can I stop the bot and reply to someone myself?+
Yes. Replying by hand in the Instagram app always works. On Pro, Handoff takes a contact off the bot entirely so it stays out of a conversation you are handling yourself.
Is it allowed under Instagram rules?+
Yes. Replying to people who messaged or commented first, through the official API, is exactly what Meta built messaging access for. Meta's 24-hour reply window applies, and the tool works inside it.
