CreatorFlow does one job: when someone comments on your post, replies to a story or sends a keyword, it DMs them your link. It is built for creators rather than support teams, and states that more than 35,000 creators and brands use it. The free plan is usable on its own, with one account, 500 DMs a month, unlimited automations and ready-made templates. Pro, at $12 per month billed annually or $15 monthly, adds a second account, 5,000 DMs per account, an Email Gate and a Follow Gate that ask for an email or a follow before the link goes out, plus click tracking and CSV export. Growth covers five accounts for $24. The pricing is flat, so a list of 50,000 contacts costs the same as one of 500, and extra DMs come in packs that never expire. The limits are scope: there is no AI agent, no broadcast tool and no channel beyond Instagram.
