01 / 04
Connect your Instagram professional account by signing in through Instagram. Pick a trigger: a word in a comment on one post or on all of them, a story reply, or a keyword in a direct message. Write the reply, attach your destination link, and save it.
It runs on Meta’s official Instagram API — vkit is a verified Meta Tech Provider — and only ever replies to people who contacted you first. Sending is paced to stay inside Instagram’s limits, and every reply is recorded next to the page views it produced.
02 / 04
Use Content Studio to draft content, Brand Kit to keep it consistent, and publishing to schedule posts across your connected accounts. Instagram AutoDM handles the repeat replies when someone requests your link. You review your content and choose which automations to turn on.
Create a branded page with links, video embeds and forms. Share it from your social profiles and Instagram AutoDM replies.
03 / 04
The page is free, at $0 a month with no card at signup, and one subscription covers the page and the automations together rather than two. The pricing page sets out what each plan carries.
vkit is free to start. Standard paid plans start at $19 per month or $190 per year. See the pricing page for what each plan includes.

For a creator running content and Instagram replies together, vkit brings the everyday work into one workspace. If you need messaging on another channel, check that channel’s support before choosing a tool.
Start with one post and one AutoDM campaign. Create the content, schedule it, and send interested followers to your resource, form or existing checkout.
Each row describes what the two products publish about themselves. Nothing about ManyChat’s prices is repeated here; the link below goes to their pricing page so you can read the current numbers at the source.
| What people compare | ManyChat | vkit |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | ManyChat describes automation across several messaging platforms. | vkit works with Instagram only, through Meta’s official Instagram API. |
| Building a reply | ManyChat offers a visual flow builder for multi-step conversations. | vkit offers keyword rules: a trigger, a reply and a destination, saved in about two minutes. |
| Where the reply points | ManyChat sends people to whatever address you give it. | vkit sends people to blocks on the page you edit in the same product. |
| Who it is built for | ManyChat serves businesses and marketing teams across several platforms. | vkit is built for one creator, or one small team running one Instagram account. |
| Free plan | ManyChat publishes its plans and limits on its own pricing page. | vkit publishes its free and paid plans on its pricing page. |
ManyChat publishes its own plans and limits: ManyChat pricing page
The usual reason is scope. A tool built for several platforms and long branching flows is a lot of product to carry when the job is: somebody comments a word, send them the thing. vkit is that job, plus the page the thing lives on.

Good to know
vkit is a verified Meta Tech Provider and works through the official Instagram API. It only replies to people who comment on or message your account first.
No — Instagram only. The scope is deliberate: it is the platform vkit is approved for and the one the rules are built around.
There is no import. A keyword rule is short by design — a word, a message and a link — so rebuilding a handful of them is a coffee’s worth of work.
Build the Instagram automation supported in your workspace and test its triggers and replies before enabling it. For campaign-specific requirements, our team can help you check the setup.
No, and that is most of the point. The page comes with the automation, and the replies point at blocks on it.
