How Inrō and FavStash handle comment-to-DM
Inrō triggers on keywords, emoji, phrases or AI-detected intent in post and Reel comments, story replies, mentions, DMs, Live and ads. It replies publicly (with variations or an AI rewrite), captures contact details in the conversation, tracks who clicked, and can hand over to an AI agent. Pro is metered by activated contacts, from €12.99/mo.
FavStash builds comment-to-DM as five steps on one screen: post, keyword, public reply, DM and link, with a live preview of the post, the comments and the DM. A map shows every automation across accounts. Plans are flat, with a monthly DM allowance and an overflow queue.
Why creators choose FavStash over Inrō for comment-to-DM
| A bill you can predict | Inrō Pro's price follows the contacts you activate, and the Free and Annual plans stop reaching new people at their caps. FavStash is a flat plan, with an overflow queue for viral spikes. |
| No sales machine to configure | Creators delivering a guide or a link don't need intent models, CRM fields or campaigns. FavStash is five fields and a preview. |
| See it before it sends | Switch the preview between Post, Comments and DM before going live. |
| One map of every automation | Keywords branch from each account, and shared keywords link accounts. Hover to see the Reels, and open Insights for the numbers. |
