The features available to you depend on your plan, as shown on our pricing page. Some features listed on our pricing page are marked as not included on a given plan; those are not part of what you are buying.

Liffio depends on Meta's platform. Changes Meta makes to its API, policies, or access can affect what Liffio can do.

4. Instagram and Meta

4.1 Official API only. Liffio works only through Meta's official Instagram API. You connect your account by logging in with Instagram. We never ask for your Instagram password, and we do not use unofficial or private Instagram interfaces.

4.2 Meta's rules apply to you. You must follow Meta's terms and policies, including the Instagram Terms of Use, Instagram's Community Guidelines, the Meta Platform Terms, and Meta's messaging policies. Meta may require you to accept its terms directly to use certain features.

4.3 Rules for data you get through Liffio. Through Liffio you can see data about your audience, such as usernames, comments, messages, and contact details people share with you. You must not:

  • sell, rent, license, or share that data except as Meta's terms allow;
  • use it to build profiles of people without their valid consent;
  • use it to discriminate against anyone, or to make decisions about anyone's eligibility for housing, employment, insurance, credit, education, government benefits, or immigration status;
  • use it for surveillance, including for law enforcement purposes; or
  • use it in any other way the Meta Platform Terms prohibit.

4.4 Meta's actions on your account. Meta may restrict or suspend your Instagram account because of your content or how you use Instagram. Liffio is not liable for Meta's actions, except to the extent they were caused by our breach of these Terms. Our Refund Policy sets out the limited cases where you get a credit or refund.

4.5 When Meta requires action. Meta may require us to suspend or end your access to Instagram features. If that happens, we will do what Meta requires and tell you where we are allowed to.

4.6 No claim of Meta endorsement. Liffio builds on Instagram's official API. Neither we nor you may describe Liffio as endorsed by, partnered with, or certified by Meta or Instagram.

5. Your audience's data

5.1 You are responsible for it. You are responsible for the personal data of the people who interact with your connected Instagram accounts ("audience data"). You must have your own privacy notice telling your audience how you use their data, and a lawful basis for using it.

5.2 We process it for you. We process audience data only on your behalf, on your instructions (the automations and settings you set up), and as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not use it for our own purposes, and we do not send our own promotional messages to your audience.

5.3 Requests about your audience's data. If someone asks you to delete or stop using their data, you must do so. If we receive a request about your audience data, from a person or from Meta, we will pass it on to you, and we may delete the data from Liffio where the law or Meta's terms require it.

5.4 When you disconnect or leave. When an Instagram account is disconnected or your Liffio account closes, we delete that account's Instagram data as described in our Privacy Policy.

6. Your account

You must give accurate, current, and complete information when you create your account, including the country you select, which decides your billing currency and tax treatment. You are responsible for keeping your login details confidential and for all activity in your account, including by team members you invite.

You may only connect Instagram accounts that you own or are authorised to manage. Because a Liffio workspace is connected using your Instagram login, anyone who has that login can connect the same Instagram account to a workspace of their own. Treat your Instagram credentials accordingly, and disconnect Liffio from accounts you no longer control.

7. Workspaces, plans, and payment

7.1 Each workspace connects one Instagram account. Agency plans include a set number of workspaces on one subscription.

7.2 Paid plans renew automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel. Cancel before your renewal date to stop the next charge.

7.3 Prices are shown on our pricing page in Indian rupees or US dollars, based on the country on your account. Prices shown in rupees include GST, so the amount you see is the amount you pay. Sales billed in US dollars are treated as exports and are billed without Indian GST. You may owe tax in your own country on such a sale.

7.4 For Indian customers we issue a GST tax invoice for each payment. You must give us your state so we can apply the correct tax treatment, and your GSTIN if you want it on the invoice.

7.5 Refunds and cancellations are covered by our Refund Policy.

7.6 If a payment fails, we may limit paid features until the payment is made.

8. Acceptable use

You must follow our Acceptable Use Policy. It sets out what you must not send or do on Liffio, and the Meta messaging rules that apply to your automations.

9. Creators Program

The Creators Program is covered by our Creators Program Policy.

10. Affiliate Program

The Affiliate Program, including commission rates, payouts, and rules, is covered by our Affiliate Program Policy. On affiliate matters, the Affiliate Program Policy applies.

11. Agencies and client workspaces

11.1 The Agency plan lets you manage several client Instagram accounts as separate workspaces under one subscription, with client roles for the people who work on them.

11.2 Instagram's login screen shows Liffio's name when an account is connected. You must tell your clients, in your own terms or privacy notice, that you use a third-party platform to manage their Instagram accounts.

11.3 You must make sure that each client whose Instagram account you connect agrees to terms at least as protective as these Terms, including Section 4.3 and our Acceptable Use Policy. You are responsible for your clients' use of Liffio.

11.4 If we ask, you must give us the name and contact details of each client whose Instagram account is connected through your agency account.

12. Intellectual property

All content, features, software, trademarks, and technology of Liffio belong to Liffio Private Limited.

You keep ownership of the content you create or upload. You give us permission to host, store, and process it only as needed to provide Liffio to you.

13. Third-party services

Liffio works with third-party services, including Meta (Instagram), Razorpay, and Google. We are not responsible for their terms or actions.

14. Service availability

We work hard to keep Liffio reliable, but we do not guarantee that it will always be available or error-free. In particular, connecting your Instagram account successfully does not guarantee that every comment or message will reach Liffio, since delivery depends on Meta's systems.

15. Disclaimer of warranties

Liffio is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee any specific results, including follower growth, leads, or sales.

16. Limitation of liability

16.1 Liffio Private Limited is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, or data, arising from your use of Liffio.

16.2 Our total liability for all claims relating to Liffio or these Terms is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event that gave rise to the claim.

16.3 Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law.

17. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Liffio Private Limited and its directors, officers, and employees from claims arising from your use of Liffio, your content, your use of audience data, or your breach of these Terms or Meta's terms.

18. Suspension and termination

18.1 You can close your account at any time.

18.2 We may suspend or terminate your account, or specific features:

  • if you break these Terms or any of our policies;
  • if Meta requires it;
  • if the law requires it; or
  • to protect Liffio, Meta's platform, or other users from harm.

We will tell you why where we are allowed to.

18.3 When your account ends, your access stops, your data is handled as described in our Privacy Policy, and any refund is handled under our Refund Policy.

19. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. The courts at Vadodara, Gujarat have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute.

20. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make a material change, we will tell you by email or in the app and ask you to accept the updated Terms before you continue using Liffio.

Frequently Asked Questions

Instagram DM automation

Yes. Instagram permits DM automation through its official API, which is part of Meta's developer platform. Tools that connect via the official API using OAuth, rather than scraping or using your password, are the path Instagram's platform policy allows. Liffio integrates exclusively through this official API using OAuth: you approve the permissions on Meta's consent screen when you connect, and you can revoke access at any time from your Instagram settings. Never passwords, scraping, or unofficial endpoints. The distinction matters practically: tools operating outside the official API (browser automation, credential scraping, or unofficial endpoints) work outside Meta's permitted use guidelines, which is where account risk comes from.

Comment-to-DM automation sends a direct message to someone automatically when they comment a specific keyword on your Instagram post or Reel. Here is how it works: you connect your Instagram account via the official API, choose a post, set a trigger keyword (such as LINK, PRICE, or GUIDE), and write a DM template. When any commenter types that keyword, the automation fires and sends your pre-written DM, after a short configurable delay of 10 to 60 seconds, without you doing anything manually. For example: you post a Reel about a digital product and tell viewers to comment FREE to get the download link. Every person who comments that word receives the link in their inbox automatically, even if you are asleep or offline. One limitation: comment-to-DM only fires on posts you explicitly enable it for. It does not apply to all posts on your account automatically.

Instagram's enforcement targets tools that access accounts by logging in with your password, simulating browser behavior, or using unofficial endpoints. The official Instagram API works differently. You authorize Liffio through Meta's own OAuth screen, the same login flow used by major apps like Hootsuite or Later. Your password is never entered into Liffio at any point, and Liffio never stores credentials. Meta issues an access token directly to Liffio, which you can revoke at any time from your Instagram settings under Apps and Websites. Liffio also adds a configurable 10 to 60 second delay between trigger and send, so each automated reply arrives at a natural conversational pace for the person receiving it rather than as an instant blast.

Yes. With keyword-trigger tools like Liffio, you can automate replies to incoming Instagram interactions such as comments on posts and Reels, story replies, and inbound DMs. Each automation type works through the same mechanism: you define a trigger condition (a keyword or a reply), write the message, and set a delay. When the trigger fires, Liffio sends the message automatically via Instagram's official API. For example: if you run a coaching business, you could set up a DM trigger so that anyone who sends you the word APPLY in a DM receives your application form link, without you checking your inbox. The delay is configurable between 10 and 60 seconds per automation, so replies arrive at a natural conversational pace for the recipient instead of landing the instant they comment.

Liffio. It has a free plan with no credit card required that runs comment-to-DM automation in production, not just as a demo. Paid plans start at $9/month. For comparison: since ManyChat's March 2026 pricing change, its free tier is capped at 25 Active Contacts per month, and paid plans start at $14/month for 250 contacts with per-contact overage fees as your audience grows. SendDM and LinkDM are simpler tools with focused feature sets; pricing varies. SuperProfile bundles bio-link storefronts with automation and prices accordingly. What makes Liffio structurally cheaper for Instagram-focused creators is that there are no per-contact fees. You pay the same $9/month whether you automate DMs to 100 people or 10,000 people. ManyChat charges based on how many people you interact with each month, which means a single viral Reel can trigger overage charges unexpectedly. The free plan includes unlimited DMs, 3 automation workflows, 2 live chatbots, comment keyword triggers, and overview analytics. That is enough to validate whether automation works for your use case before paying anything.

Auto DM tools

An auto DM tool (also called auto DM software or DM automation tool) sends Instagram direct messages automatically when a trigger fires - for example a keyword in a comment, a story reply, or an inbound DM. Liffio is an auto DM tool that lets you set delays (10 to 60 seconds), personalize messages, and run comment-to-DM flows without manual inbox work.

Auto DMs are automated direct messages sent by an auto DM tool when someone triggers a specific action - like commenting a keyword on your post, replying to your story, or sending you a DM. With Liffio's auto DMs, you set up the trigger once, and the tool sends your pre-written message automatically 24/7.

An auto comment tool (or auto comment reply tool) replies publicly under your Instagram post and can send a matching private DM. Liffio combines auto comment reply with comment-to-DM automation so one keyword trigger handles both the public reply and the automated DM - the signature workflow of tools like ManyChat.

The best auto DM tool depends on your needs. Liffio is ideal for creators and brands who want unlimited auto DMs on every plan, Free included, simple pricing, and chatbots as their own module. We offer comment-to-DM, auto comment reply and chatbots, like ManyChat, SendDM, and SuperProfile, without per-message or per-contact fees.

Yes! Liffio offers a free auto DM tool tier that lets you get started with Instagram DM automation without a credit card. The free plan includes comment-to-DM automation, auto comment reply, 2 live chatbots, unlimited DMs, and overview analytics, enough to test if auto DMs work for your business.

Like ManyChat, SendDM, LinkDM, and SuperProfile, Liffio supports keyword triggers, comment-to-DM, auto comment reply, and chatbots for Instagram. Liffio keeps comment to DM simple and puts full DM conversations in a separate chatbot module, with unlimited auto DMs on every plan, simple pricing, and a free tier with 2 live chatbots, making it a top ManyChat alternative.

Both terms describe the same workflow: automating Instagram DMs at scale. Liffio is a DM automation tool (also called a dming tool, auto DM software, or Instagram auto DM tool) for creators, coaches, and brands who want auto DMs from comments, stories, and the inbox.

Comment-to-DM is the core feature of any auto DM tool. You choose keywords (for example "LINK" or "GUIDE"). When someone comments that word on a post or Reel, Liffio sends your auto DM after your chosen delay and can post a public auto comment reply under their comment - the same pattern used by ManyChat, SendDM, and other Instagram auto DM tools.

Instagram auto reply refers to any automated response sent when someone interacts with your account - via comments, stories, or DMs. Liffio's auto reply features include auto DMs from comments, story reply automation, and DM auto responders. All powered by the same auto DM tool technology.

Yes, when you use a compliant auto DM tool like Liffio. We use official Instagram APIs, configurable send delays (10-60 seconds), and rate limiting. Unofficial bots that log in with your password or simulate a browser operate outside Meta's permitted use guidelines. Liffio connects only through Meta's OAuth consent flow.

Getting started

Go to your Liffio dashboard and click 'Connect Instagram'. You'll be redirected to Instagram's own login page. Authorize the app and your account will be connected in seconds.

Most creators connect Instagram and send their first automated DM in under five minutes. Pick a trigger, write your message, set your delay (10 to 60 seconds), and go live. No credit card required.

Keyword triggers are words or phrases in a comment that start an automation. If someone comments "LINK" on your post, Liffio can send them your link in DMs after your configured delay.

Automations & DMs

DMs send after your chosen delay - from 10 to 60 seconds after the trigger (comment, story reply, etc.). You control the timing so replies land at a natural conversational pace while staying on autopilot.

Each automated message sent to a unique user counts as one DM, and follow-up replies within the same conversation thread do not count again. Every plan, Free included, is uncapped: no monthly DM quota, no per-message fee, and no contact limits.

Liffio automates comment-to-DM, story replies and story mentions, inbound DM replies, ask for follow, follow-up sequences, and data collection. Each automation sends its DM after a delay you set between 10 and 60 seconds. The Free plan runs 3 automations, Starter 25, Growth 100, and Business 250. Chatbots are a separate module, with 2 live chatbots on Free.

Safety & compliance

Yes! Liffio is a Verified Meta Tech Provider and uses only official Instagram APIs, operating within Instagram's terms of service.

Each workspace connects one Instagram account, so managing several accounts means several workspaces. Free, Starter, Growth and Business include one workspace each; Agency includes 20, each one a complete Business workspace, on a single subscription, for managing client brands at scale.
