Loopli or Manychat: which one for your Instagram DMs?
Manychat automates conversations: someone comments a keyword and gets a DM, a story mention gets an instant reply, a flow qualifies a lead. Loopli runs the whole account: it makes the content, drafts a reply to every comment and DM in your voice and sets up the Meta ads. They do different jobs, and some businesses use both.
| What you compare | Manychat | Loopli |
|---|---|---|
| What it automates | Conversations: comment-to-DM, keyword triggers, story-mention replies, default replies and drip sequences on Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, SMS and email. | The whole account: content plans, posts and Reels, replies drafted for every comment and DM, Meta ads and a weekly report, on Instagram and Facebook. |
| Replies | Scripted flows you build; an AI add-on recognises intent and writes steps. | The agent reads each comment, mention and DM and drafts a reply from your brand's voice and facts; you send or edit it, or let it send. |
| Content | Does not plan, create or schedule posts. | Plans, writes, designs and publishes posts, carousels, Reels and Stories. |
| Ads | No ads management. | Boosts, campaigns and lead ads on Meta, created paused (Pro and Agency). |
| Scale of conversations | Built for volume: thousands of contacts, instant flows, lead capture at scale. | Built for a business's own inbox, with a person reviewing, or autopilot per brand. |
| Price | Free up to 1,000 contacts; Pro is priced by the number of contacts; the AI features are a paid add-on. | US$49, US$199 or US$599 a month by plan; 14-day trial, no card. |
| Best for | Creators and brands running giveaways, lead magnets and high-volume DM funnels. | Businesses and agencies that want their Instagram and Facebook run, not only their DMs answered. |
They do different jobs
Manychat is a conversation engine: you design the flows and it runs them instantly, at any volume. Loopli is a social media manager: the agent makes the content and the ads and reads each conversation to draft a reply in your voice. One is about scale; the other is about having the work done.
When Manychat is the right choice
If your Instagram runs on "comment PRICE to get the link", giveaways, lead magnets or thousands of identical questions a day, you want instant scripted flows. Loopli does not build flows.
When Loopli fits
If you need the posts made, each comment and message answered properly, and ads set up — and you want a person deciding before anything goes out — that is Loopli's job.
- A reply drafted for every comment, mention and DM, from your brand's facts
- Posts, carousels, Reels and Stories planned and made for you
- Boosts, campaigns and lead ads, created paused (Pro and Agency)
- Approval or autopilot, per brand
Using both
Both connect to the same Instagram account through Meta's API. A common setup: Manychat handles the keyword funnel, Loopli makes the content, drafts the replies to the real questions that reach your inbox and runs the ads.
