OpenReply

ManyChat charges per seat to automate Instagram comment-to-DM replies. The work it does is not complicated enough to rent forever.

OpenReply does the same thing — auto-DMs, keyword replies, follow-ups, follow gates, analytics — self-hosted with your own API keys and your own Meta app. You own the data and the automation, and you deploy it in minutes rather than signing up for it.

In its first month it passed 2,200 GitHub stars and did millions of impressions online. Proudly sponsored by Zernio.com.
