Why people switch from Interakt
₹999/mo for rule-based Instagram vs ₹499 with a follow gate
Interakt's Instagram Automation plan is ₹999/mo plus taxes (as of September 2026) and covers keyword comment-to-DM and story reactions. Reachlee Pro is ₹499/mo in INR and adds Growth Gate (follow-to-unlock), scheduled DMs, any-post triggers and unlimited DMs.
No Instagram AI — AI is WhatsApp-only
Interakt's AI features live on WhatsApp; its Instagram automation is rule-based. Reachlee Growth (₹899/mo) answers Instagram DMs and comments with Reachlee AI trained on your own knowledge.
Follow gate not published
Interakt's Instagram page lists comment-to-DM, 'Price Please' auto-replies and giveaways — a follow-to-unlock gate isn't published. Reachlee's Growth Gate is a core Pro feature, and it's how comment-to-DM turns into follower growth.
Non-refundable, and Instagram is the upsell
Interakt's FAQs state all charges are non-refundable, and the Instagram plan sits beneath Growth (₹2,799/mo) and Advanced (₹3,799/mo) WhatsApp tiers. Reachlee has a free-forever plan, one-click cancellation and no WhatsApp bundle to grow into.
Stay on Interakt if WhatsApp Business API is your primary sales channel and Instagram is genuinely secondary — its Shopify + WhatsApp stack is what you're actually paying for. For everyone else — creators and small businesses who want Instagram engagement turned into DMs, leads, and link clicks without metered pricing — Reachlee is the strongest Interakt alternative: the core automations on the official Meta API at a flat $9/mo, free to start.
What Reachlee costs
Free: 1 Instagram account, 1,000 DMs/month, lead capture included. Pro $9/mo: 3 accounts, unlimited DMs, contacts and leads, Growth Gate, scheduled DMs, Retrigger. Business $29/mo: 10 accounts, 5 team seats, Google Sheets lead piping. No usage meters on any plan.

How much does Interakt's Instagram plan cost?
As of September 2026 Interakt lists a Starter free plan ('Include Instagram Only'; caps not published), Instagram Automation at ₹999/mo, Growth at ₹2,799/mo (₹2,239 yearly, WhatsApp + Instagram) and Advanced at ₹3,799/mo (₹3,039 yearly), all plus taxes, with a 14-day trial.

Does Interakt refund if I cancel?
Interakt's FAQs state that all charges are non-refundable; cancellation is self-serve in-app. Reachlee cancellation is one click in Settings and keeps access to the end of the paid period.
Does Reachlee do WhatsApp?
No. Reachlee covers Instagram and Facebook Messenger, not WhatsApp, on Meta's official APIs. If you need WhatsApp Business API, keep Interakt (or another WhatsApp platform) for that channel and run Instagram DMs on a tool built for them.
Is switching from Interakt to another tool safe for my Instagram account?
Yes — as long as the alternative uses Meta's official Instagram API (Reachlee does, exclusively). Avoid any tool that asks for your Instagram password; those are browser bots that risk account restrictions.
How long does moving off Interakt take?
Minutes, not days. DM automation tools don't lock in your data the way CRMs do — you recreate your triggers (comment keywords, story replies, welcome DMs) in the new tool and switch off the old one. Reachlee's templates cover the common setups in a couple of minutes each.
