ReplyKaro review: low prices, a generous free plan and its limits
ReplyKaro is an Indian Instagram automation tool that competes on price. Its paid plans start at ₹99 a month in India and $3 elsewhere, and it bills through Razorpay. This review covers what each plan includes, what you only get by paying, and who it suits.
ReplyKaro plans
| Plan | India | Elsewhere | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free Starter | Free | Free | 1 account, 3 active automations, 1,000 DMs |
| Starter | ₹99 | $3 | 30 AI replies |
| Pro | ₹299 | $9 | 100 AI replies |
| Scale | ₹399 | $15 | 200 AI replies |
| Growth | ₹449 | $15 | 250 AI replies, agency dashboard |
| Agency | ₹799 | $25 | Agency dashboard |

ReplyKaro also sells Instagram plus Facebook bundles: the Pro Bundle at ₹399 and the Agency Bundle, covering 10 Instagram and 10 Facebook accounts, at ₹1,299 a month.
What ReplyKaro does well
- Price. ₹99 / $3 a month is the lowest paid entry point we found in this category.
- A useful free plan. Story automation and the follow gate are on every ReplyKaro Instagram plan, including Free.
- Indian billing. ReplyKaro bills through Razorpay: UPI, cards and net banking in India, and international cards.
- Agencies on a budget. ReplyKaro's agency dashboard comes with the Growth, Agency and Agency Pro plans.
- Facebook comments. It lists Facebook comment automation alongside Instagram.
What is paid-only
- More than 3 automations and 1,000 DMs a month. Both limits apply to the free plan.
- AI replies. ReplyKaro's AI replies are not on Free; paid plans include a monthly allowance (30 on Starter, 100 on Pro, 200 on Scale, 250 on Growth, 800 on Agency Pro).
- The agency dashboard, which starts on Growth.
Where it falls short
- We did not find link-in-bio pages, product carousels or WhatsApp handoff in its listings.
- We did not find DM limits for its paid plans in the pricing we checked, so confirm them before a large campaign.
- Its FAQ says Facebook Messenger automation is not included, only Facebook comments.
- It is younger than the global tools, with a smaller public review base.
Setting up ReplyKaro
Setup is quick: connect a professional Instagram account, pick a post, choose keywords and write the DM. Turn on the follow gate if you want follows before the link, and add a story automation for your next story.
The limit to plan around on Free is 3 active automations. Pick your three busiest posts, or one post, one story and one DM keyword, and switch older automations off as new reels go out. If you find yourself rotating automations every week, the paid Starter plan at ₹99 a month is the cheapest fix.
