How to read this page
We checked public pricing pages in August 2026. Tools change prices. The table is a snapshot, not a contract. Xuios numbers always come from the live plans in this app.
02
What we will not claim
Chatfuel Light is free for non-AI keyword automations. Nobody is cheaper than $0 unlimited. We claim two things we can stand behind: we beat every paid Instagram DM plan we listed, and our Free cap is more generous than ManyChat (25 contacts) and InstantDM (500 DMs).

When to pick someone else
Need WhatsApp + SMS + email in one flow builder? ManyChat or Chatfuel may fit. Need an agency suite at $199/mo? That is Customers.ai. If you want Instagram comment-to-DM, story replies, a follow gate, and a bill that does not move when a reel pops, stay here.

FAQ
Common questions
Are these official prices?
Competitor cells are from public pages as of the verified date on the table. Confirm on their sites before you buy.
Why is Pro $8.99 if InstantDM is $9.99 with AI?
So the plan that includes AI is still cheaper than the cheapest paid Instagram tool that bundles AI in our snapshot.
Do you include WhatsApp?
No. Xuios is Instagram messaging. That is why we can stay cheap and specific.
