FAQ
Is Replied actually cheaper than ManyChat for Indian creators?
For most Indian creators, yes. ManyChat charges by active contact ($14/mo (Essential) starting), so your bill scales with audience size. Replied is ₹499/month flat regardless of how many contacts you have.
Can I migrate from ManyChat to Replied?
Yes. Connect your Instagram in 30 seconds and rebuild your rules in the Replied dashboard — no flow-builder learning curve, no per-rule limits. Your existing followers and DM history stay where they are; only the automation provider changes.
Does Replied support Hindi and regional language templates?
Yes — Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, and Gujarati templates are included on every plan, free or Pro. Most international tools, including ManyChat, do not ship regional templates out of the box.
What happens if I cancel?
One click in your billing dashboard. No retention prompt, no support ticket. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for. If you used a watermark-free Pro plan, your old replies stay as-is — only future ones revert to the free tier behavior.
Will my account get banned for using Replied?
Replied uses Meta's official Instagram Graph API (Instagram Login flow). All sends go through approved permissions: instagram_business_basic, instagram_business_manage_messages, instagram_business_manage_comments. We respect Meta's rate limits and the 24-hour messaging window. Same compliance posture as ManyChat for the parts we both do.
