FAQ
Questions, answered
- Which is cheaper?
- It depends on volume and channels. CommentTap keeps pricing simple: Free, Starter and Growth have a hard usage cap with no overage, while Business and Scale auto-scale at a clear, published per-1,000 rate so a viral post never stops your campaigns mid-flight.
- Can I migrate a comment-to-DM setup easily?
- Yes. Because CommentTap campaigns are just a keyword and a message with an offer, recreating a comment-to-DM campaign takes only a few minutes per post.
- Do both respect messaging limits?
- Both are built to work within Instagram's messaging rules. CommentTap adds cooldowns and per-account pacing so replies stay compliant and are not sent repeatedly to the same person.
