Questions before you start
Is DMecho a full ManyChat replacement? + −
No. DMecho replaces the focused Instagram comment-to-DM use case, not ManyChat's broader chatbot and broadcast platform.
Do the plans measure usage the same way? + −
No. DMecho counts DMs. ManyChat's current plans use Active Contacts, so the allowances are not directly equivalent.
Can I try DMecho without a card? + −
Yes. The Free plan includes 250 DMs each month and does not require a card.
