Two close tools.
WilloSend and Waveloop are close. Both are built for Instagram creators. Someone comments your keyword on a post or reel, and they get a DM with your link. Both answer story replies, both can ask people to follow you before the link arrives, and both run on Instagram’s official API.
The biggest difference is the free plan. WilloSend starts at $9 a month after a 7-day trial. Waveloop Free costs nothing, with no time limit.

- Follow to unlock and card replies on every plan, including Free.
- DM keywords. When someone DMs you a word like PRICE, they get your reply.
- Link tracking and a link in bio page on every plan.
- Build by chatting. Connect Waveloop to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for the automation you want.
- Low risk to try. Pro starts with a 7-day free trial, and your first payment has a 14-day money-back guarantee.
