I got tired of paying ManyChat a success tax, so I built my own Instagram automation
Hey Product Hunt š
I'm Aman, and I run an Instagram creator account myself. When ManyChat changed its pricing earlier this year, I'd had enough. I wasn't going to pay a per-contact tax just to auto-reply to comments and DMs.
So I did what any frustrated builder does and went to Reddit to rant. Turns out I wasn't alone. Thread after thread of creators were complaining about unpredictable bills, clunky flow builders, and AI locked behind add-ons.
So I built DMflo, and tried to do it better.
ā 2-minute setup. Or skip the dashboard entirely and run your comment, story reply, and DM automations straight from Claude or ChatGPT.
ā Actually agentic, not just keyword rules. Deploy agents that moderate and engage with your comments, or Frontdesk, which answers every DM from your own knowledge base (like your Shopify store info) in your brand's voice.
ā Speaks your audience's language. Replies in 100+ languages, including the mixed ones people actually type, like Hinglish, Tanglish, and Spanglish.
ā Flat pricing. Free forever to start, or one flat monthly price for unlimited comment, story, and DM automations. No per-contact billing, so a viral Reel doesn't blow up your bill.
I've been running my own account through Claude MCP, and managing Instagram has honestly never been easier.
Give it a spin and tell me what's missing or broken. And if you've moved off ManyChat, or are thinking about it, I'd love to hear what pushed you.
