Why creators switch from LinktoDM to Reachlee.
Capture leads on the free plan, not the ₹699 one
LinktoDM's free tier does the DM but not the lead: data collection, ask-to-follow, follow-ups and AI auto-reply all wait for Pro at ₹699/mo (as of September 2026). Reachlee Free asks for the email or phone inside the DM, keeps 10 leads with 30-day analytics, and replies to the comment publicly and privately. You learn whether your funnel converts before you pay anyone.
A monthly cap resets; a contact cap doesn't
LinktoDM's 2,000-contact limit counts people, not months — every new commenter uses up a slot for good, and one popular post can finish the free plan in a weekend. Reachlee's free-plan limit is 1,000 DMs a month, back to zero every cycle. Pro removes it for $9/mo with unlimited DMs, contacts and leads across 3 accounts.
$9 vs ~$15 for the same three accounts
Both Pro plans connect 3 Instagram accounts. LinktoDM Pro is ₹699/mo — ₹542 billed yearly — and $15/mo flat in the USD listing on Capterra. Reachlee Pro is $9/mo, or ₹399/mo in India billed in INR by Dodo with UPI and cards, with unlimited DMs, Growth Gate, scheduled DMs, any-post triggers and lifetime analytics.
Leave without reading the refund clause
LinktoDM's terms limit refunds to cases 'required by law', its pricing page says 'cancel anytime' without saying where, and there's no trial (as of September 2026). Reachlee doesn't publish a refund window either — what it does is make leaving trivial: one click in Settings, access to the end of the period, nothing to email.
₹699 for the lead features vs ₹399 — and free from day one.
LinktoDM Pro is ₹699/mo, ₹542/mo billed yearly, or $15/mo in its USD listing (as of September 2026); Pro+ is ₹1,290/mo for 8 accounts and 10 seats. Reachlee Pro is $9/mo — ₹399/mo in India, billed in INR by Dodo — for 3 accounts and unlimited DMs, and Business is $29/mo (₹1,499) for 10 accounts, 5 seats and Google Sheets. Both have a free plan; only Reachlee's captures leads on it.

Common questions.
What does the LinktoDM free plan include?
As of September 2026: 3 creator accounts, 2 team members, unlimited automations, comment-to-DM and story replies, capped at 2,000 contacts. Ask-to-follow, follow-ups, data collection, the AI intent trigger, AI auto-reply and the scheduler are Pro features at ₹699/mo. Reachlee's free plan is 1 account, 1,000 DMs a month, 10 leads, 30-day analytics — with email and phone capture included.
Is LinktoDM the same as LinkDM?
No. LinkDM (linkdm.com) is a US-based auto-DM tool with $19 and $99 tiers and DM caps; LinktoDM (linktodm.com) is a newer, India-heavy tool with a ₹699 Pro plan and a contact-capped free tier. Search results mix them up constantly — a 'LinkDM review' Trustpilot listing is actually LinktoDM's, and LinkDM runs a 'did you mean LinkDM?' page. Check the domain before you compare prices.
What do LinktoDM reviews say?
Thin sample. As of September 2026 LinktoDM shows a 3.8 on Trustpilot in search results, has zero reviews on Capterra, and the rest of the SERP is SaaSworthy, Product Hunt and competitor comparison pages. We don't extrapolate from that. The published facts are what to weigh: the 2,000-contact free cap, follow gate and lead capture paywalled at ₹699, no trial, and refunds only where the law requires.
When is LinktoDM the better pick?
When you're a small team that wants seats without paying for them: two team members on Free and five on Pro, with 3 accounts on both. Reachlee's team seats are on Business at $29/mo. If you're under 2,000 contacts and just need collaborators in the same dashboard, LinktoDM Free is a fair choice — until you want follow gates or lead capture.
How much does LinktoDM cost in USD?
LinktoDM prices by region. The INR page shows Pro at ₹699/mo (₹542 billed yearly) and Pro+ at ₹1,290/mo (₹993 yearly); Capterra lists Pro at $15/mo flat (as of September 2026). Reachlee Pro is $9/mo in USD and ₹399/mo in India, both flat, with unlimited DMs and 3 accounts.
Does LinktoDM give refunds?
Only where required by law, according to its terms as seen in search snippets (the terms page itself returned an error when we checked, as of September 2026). The pricing page says 'cancel anytime' but doesn't document where. Reachlee doesn't publish a refund window either; cancellation is self-serve in Settings, one click, access kept to period end.
Is Reachlee compliant with Instagram's rules?
Yes. Reachlee runs on the official Instagram API through Instagram Business Login — no password, no browser bot. It never first-contacts anyone, sends one private reply per comment within Instagram's 7-day window, respects the 24-hour messaging window and runs a rate-limit pre-flight on every send. LinktoDM also states it's built on Meta's official Graph API and shows a Meta Business Partner badge.
