What you gain by moving from LinktoDM to Hypello
- A lower bill, with GST already counted
- Hypello Creator is ₹249 a month billed yearly or ₹399 monthly for 2 accounts, and that is the full amount. LinktoDM Pro is listed at ₹542 or ₹699, then 18% GST is added at checkout, so a monthly subscription costs ₹824.82.
- Ask to Follow before you pay
- Hypello includes Ask to Follow on its free plan, so commenters can be asked to follow before the DM arrives without you paying anything. LinktoDM only offers it from Pro.
- No contact cap and no branding on free
- LinktoDM Free has a 2,000-contact limit and shows LinktoDM branding until you upgrade. Hypello Free has unlimited contacts and no branding. In return, LinktoDM Free includes 2,000 DMs to Hypello's 1,000 a month, plus a third account.
- AI agents trained on your business
- Hypello's Sales, Support, and Leads agents read your website, documents, and FAQs, then answer DMs, collect contact details, share discount codes, and hand chats to your team. LinktoDM's AI writes public comment replies and matches comments by intent, and Pro+ adds agents that like and hide comments, but it doesn't list an agent that answers DMs from your own content.
- Live comments and direct email tools
- Hypello automates Instagram Live comments along with posts, Reels, and Stories, and paid plans send collected emails straight to Mailchimp or Klaviyo. LinktoDM doesn't list Live comments and reaches email tools through Zapier.

How to switch from LinktoDM to Hypello
- 1
Write down what each LinktoDM automation does
Record the post, the trigger keywords or intent, the public replies, the DM and its buttons, and whether it uses Ask to Follow or a follow-up.
- 2
Switch off those automations in LinktoDM
Pause each one before you rebuild it, so a single comment never gets a DM from both tools. If you're leaving for good, disconnect the account in LinktoDM as well.
- 3
Create a Hypello account and connect Instagram
Sign up free with Google or email, then connect your Instagram professional account through Meta. Add your Facebook Page if you run ad or Messenger automations.
- 4
Rebuild from the DM from Comments template
Pick your post or Any post or reel, add the keywords, public replies, and DM, and turn on Ask to Follow, which works on the free plan.
- 5
Go live and pick up recent comments
Click Go Live and test with a comment from a second account. On Creator or above, run Re-Trigger to answer comments from the past seven days. Message support on WhatsApp or email if anything looks off.
The verdict
LinktoDM suits Indian creators who want a roomy free plan, logins for a small team, and a flow builder with conditional follow-ups and AI intent matching. If 2,000 free DMs across three accounts covers you, or your setup depends on Zapier, there is little reason to move.
Once you're paying for one or two accounts, Hypello usually costs less, and its rupee price already includes tax. You also get Ask to Follow and no branding on the free plan, Instagram Live automation, direct Mailchimp and Klaviyo integrations, and AI agents that answer DMs from your own content.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Common questions from LinktoDM users looking at Hypello.
For one or two Instagram accounts, yes. Hypello Creator costs ₹249 a month billed yearly or ₹399 billed monthly, tax included, with unlimited DMs. LinktoDM Pro costs ₹542 a month billed yearly or ₹699 monthly, and 18% GST is added at checkout, so the monthly plan comes to ₹824.82. With exactly three accounts, LinktoDM Pro is slightly cheaper on monthly billing (₹824.82 against ₹849 for Hypello's 6-account tier), but Hypello is cheaper yearly at ₹6,828 against ₹7,668.82.
LinktoDM Free costs nothing and includes 2,000 DMs, 2,000 contacts, and 3 accounts. Pro is ₹542 a month billed yearly (₹6,499 a year) or ₹699 monthly, and Pro+ is ₹993 a month billed yearly (₹11,919 a year) or ₹1,290 monthly. Rupee prices are shown before 18% GST. Outside India, LinktoDM bills in US dollars, with Pro at $15 a month.
No. LinktoDM shows its rupee prices before tax and adds 18% GST at checkout, so Pro costs ₹824.82 a month or ₹7,668.82 a year. Hypello's rupee prices already include tax, and you can pay by card or UPI.
Hypello's free plan includes 1,000 DMs a month, unlimited contacts and automations, Ask to Follow, and no Hypello branding in your messages, for up to 2 accounts. LinktoDM's free plan lists 2,000 DMs, without saying whether they reset each month, and one more account, but it caps contacts at 2,000, keeps Ask to Follow for Pro, and adds LinktoDM branding. Pick the one whose limit you are less likely to hit.
There's no direct import, so you rebuild each automation in Hypello. Switch off the matching LinktoDM automation first so a comment doesn't trigger two DMs. Most comment-to-DM automations take a few minutes with Hypello's templates, and the support team can help on WhatsApp and email.
Yes. Hypello's Re-Trigger replies to eligible comments from the past seven days that arrived before your automation went live, which covers the same need as LinktoDM's Backtrack. Both are paid features: Re-Trigger comes with Hypello Creator, and Backtrack with LinktoDM Pro.
Yes, with a different focus. Hypello's Sales, Support, and Leads agents answer Instagram and Facebook DMs using your website, documents, and instructions, and they can collect contact details, share discount codes, and hand the chat to your team. AI credits start on Creator ($4.90 a month billed yearly). LinktoDM's AI writes public comment replies and DM variations, matches comments by intent, and builds flows from a prompt, and Pro+ adds AI agents that like and hide comments.
Both tools use Meta's official API and say they don't store your Instagram password. Hypello is a Meta Tech Provider, and LinktoDM describes itself as a Meta Business Partner and Tech Provider. No tool can promise account safety, so Hypello paces sending with reply delays, a DM Safety Queue, and Slow-Down Mode to stay within Instagram's limits.
