FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What people ask before switching from KittyChat to Hypello.
For most accounts, yes. Hypello's Creator plan costs $8 a month, or $4.90 a month billed yearly, and includes two accounts with unlimited DMs. KittyChat charges $13 a month for one account on Starter, $22 for two on Pro, and $49 for three on Expert, and it has no yearly plan.
KittyChat has four plans billed monthly in US dollars: Free at $0, Starter at $13, Pro at $22, and Expert at $49. They include 1, 1, 2, and 3 connected accounts and 50, 50, 3,000, and 8,000 AI replies a month. For more than three accounts you contact KittyChat, and its English site lists extra accounts at $12 a month each. KittyChat takes credit cards only and says it does not offer refunds.
Hypello's free plan includes 1,000 DMs a month, two accounts, public comment replies, Ask to Follow, and Story mention DMs, with no branding in your messages. KittyChat Free covers one account and 500 auto DMs a month and adds a Kittychat intro line to your DMs. In fairness, KittyChat Free includes 50 AI replies and works on unlimited posts, while Hypello Free covers your last 25 posts and AI credits start on Creator.
Yes. KittyChat's Catch-up DM sends your auto DM to comments from the last seven days, but it needs the Pro plan at $22 a month. Hypello's Re-Trigger replies to eligible comments from the past seven days and is included from the Creator plan at $8 a month.
There's no direct import, but most automations take a few minutes to rebuild with Hypello's templates. Switch off your KittyChat auto DMs or disconnect KittyChat from Instagram first, since KittyChat's own FAQ warns that two DM tools on one account conflict. Then recreate each keyword, comment reply, and DM in Hypello and go live.
No. Hypello covers Instagram and Facebook, including Facebook Page comments and Messenger. If you need TikTok DM automation alongside Instagram in one tool, KittyChat covers it.
Yes. Hypello's Creator plan costs ₹249 a month billed yearly, or ₹399 billed monthly, for two accounts, and you can pay by card or UPI. KittyChat bills in US dollars by credit card only.
Both tools use Meta's official API. Hypello is a Meta Tech Provider and never stores your Instagram password. No automation tool can promise account safety, so Hypello paces sending with a DM Safety Queue and Slow-Down Mode, plus reply delays on paid plans, while KittyChat offers sending delays, an hourly cap on comment replies, and an option to stop comment replies after three warnings in 24 hours.
