Pick the plan that fits your pages, team and volume
Comment moderation on every plan, priced by the comments it checks each month, with DM automation in the same plan from Starter. 7 days free with everything on.
DM automation from Starter with unlimited contacts, and comment moderation in the same plan. No charge per contact or per message. 7 days free with everything on.
Every comment moderation checks counts once toward the month's pool, on ads, posts or both, as you choose for each page. Comments moderation does not cover never count, and your automations still answer them. Past the pool, moderation waits until you upgrade or the period resets; your automations keep running.
The Ads tab on each page: every ad with its comments sorted by what people mean (wants to buy, question, objection, praise, complaint, spam), what moderation removed, and the comments behind every number.
Ad insights
What to do about your ad comments: message the people who want to buy, answer questions, see why people object, get spike alerts by push and email, and a written read of each ad (3 AI credits).
Ad reports
Your ads across all pages and brand groups in one tab, a written summary of the week in your Monday email, and a read-only link to share with a client.
Unlimited contacts and DMs
Everyone your automations reach is a contact: a commenter you reply to in DMs, someone who sends a keyword, replies to a story or taps your link. No limit and no charge per person, so a post that takes off never raises your bill.
Reply automatically when a comment contains a word you chose, in public under the comment. From Starter: private replies, DM keywords, welcome messages, story replies and the drag-and-drop flow builder, reaching unlimited contacts.
An agent answers comments and DMs from your knowledge and FAQs, by itself or as a draft for you to send. It is set up once for the account and placed where it should answer.
Your emails are answered first, ahead of the queue, and Pro adds chat.
Dedicated support
A named person who knows your setup, by email and chat.
Onboarding call
A call at the start to connect your pages, set your rules and bring in your team.
DM automation free for 7 days
Run comment to DM, keyword DMs, the flow builder and the DM inbox live on your real posts for 7 days, free. Once only, nothing to cancel, your plan stays the same. After 7 days your DM automations pause, kept as you built them; Starter keeps them running.
Comment-to-DM, DM keywords, welcome and story replies
Every way a conversation starts: a comment on a post, reel or ad, a keyword sent in DMs, the first message someone sends, or, on Instagram, a reply to your story or a post shared with you.
A drag-and-drop canvas for longer conversations: messages with buttons, cards and media, questions that save the answer, conditions, A/B splits, delays, tags and fields, and HTTP requests that send to and read from your own tools. Start from a template or a blank canvas.
Describe the flow in your own words and watch it built on the canvas, ready to test before it goes live. Building uses AI credits, what each build takes.
What the AI writes for you: an AI agent’s answer to a comment or a DM uses 5, a translation or a test of your agent 1, and Build with AI what each build takes. Your plan brings as many each month as it has moderated comments, and they reset with them. Moderation and your own replies and flows never use them.
When comments flood in on a post, the app notices by itself: the public “check your inbox” reply is left out and every DM still goes, in order. It switches back on its own, and you can turn it off for a page. First DMs and public replies always stay under Meta’s limit: up to 700 an hour per page, and the rest wait their turn. If Meta slows or blocks a page, sending pauses until the time Meta gives and resumes by itself. You can also choose a slower sending speed: 200 an hour, or one a minute.
Important: Every payment is processed in US dollars, whatever currency is shown. The figures in your currency are approximate, for display only, from rates updated daily.
7 days free with every feature on and 250 moderated comments included, no card needed. If you do nothing when the trial ends, moderation pauses and nothing is charged.

Credits
One credit per moderated comment, nothing hidden
Every plan includes a monthly pool of comment credits, spent only on the comments moderation checks. Automations never use them. Not sure how many comments you get? Start the trial: Insights counts what arrives, so you pick a plan from real numbers.
Credits
Unlimited contacts. AI credits only when the AI writes
DM automation never counts the people it reaches or the messages it sends. What the AI writes for you, an answer, a translation or a flow it builds, uses AI credits from a monthly pool the size of your comment pool. Moderation keeps its own comment credits.
Live moderation: one credit per comment checkedEach comment moderation checks counts once, whether it is hidden, deleted or left up. You choose what it covers on each page: ads, posts or both.
Post cleanup: one credit per comment checked or acted onA comment you already paid for is never billed twice.
Automations: never countedReplies, private messages, flows and the people they reach are unlimited, and they keep running when the month's pool is used up.
AI credits: only when the AI writesAn AI agent’s answer to a comment or a DM uses 5, a translation 1, Build with AI what each build takes. Every plan brings as many as it has moderated comments, every month.
Free: loading, browsing, searching and filteringOpen any post, read every comment and narrow the list before you decide. None of that uses a credit.

What people ask before they pick a plan.
Every comment moderation checks counts once: each incoming comment on the ads, posts or both that moderation covers on a page, whether it gets hidden, deleted or left up, and each comment you check or act on in Post cleanup. Comments moderation does not cover are never counted, automations never use comment credits, and loading, browsing, searching and filtering a post are free. A comment is never billed twice.
The trial opens everything for 7 days, at Elite level: every feature, unlimited pages, people and agents, with 250 comment credits, 250 AI credits and no card. Pick a plan when you are ready; from then on the plan decides what is on. If you do nothing, moderation pauses and nothing is charged.
Yes. Cancelling is self-serve from Settings and takes effect at the end of the period you already paid for; everything keeps working until then. Upgrades apply immediately. If a smaller plan includes fewer pages, people, agents or automations than you use, the newest ones beyond it are paused, never deleted, and an upgrade brings them back. Payments are not refunded for the current period, as the refund policy explains.
Facebook pages and Instagram business or creator accounts, on posts and ads, through Meta's official API. You sign in with one Facebook account, and the pages and Instagram accounts it manages can be added, up to the number your plan includes. Messenger and Instagram DMs come with them from Starter.
We email you at 90% of your monthly volume. At 100%, moderation pauses until you upgrade or the next period starts, while your automations keep replying and messaging; nothing is deleted and your pages stay connected. We never charge overage on our own. If your volume regularly exceeds your plan, we will ask you to upgrade.
No. Comment credits and AI credits both reset at the start of each billing period, so pick the plan that covers a normal month. Insights shows how many comments arrived, per page or across the brand, so the number is never a guess. AI credits you buy are the exception: they never expire.
Mini includes 1 page and 1 person, Lite 2 pages and 1 person, Starter 3 pages and 3 people, Growth 10 pages and 5 people, Pro 25 pages and 15 people, and Elite has no limit on either. A Facebook page and an Instagram account each count as one page, and the owner counts as one person. From Growth, a teammate can be limited to specific pages.
Starter or above. From Starter, comment-to-DM, DM keywords, welcome messages, story replies, links that start a conversation, the flow builder with HTTP requests, Build with AI and the Messenger and Instagram DM inbox are all on, with unlimited contacts. Lite replies to keywords in public, and Mini and Lite include one free 7-day DM pass: DM automation runs live on your real posts for a week, once per account, then pauses, kept as you built it, until you move to Starter.
A contact is anyone your automations reach: someone who comments and gets a private reply, sends a keyword in DMs, replies to a story or taps your link. From Starter there is no limit on them and no charge per person, so a post that takes off never raises your bill. The plan counts only the comments moderation checks. Fair use applies, as the terms describe.
AI credits pay for what the AI writes for you: an AI agent’s answer to a comment or a DM uses 5, a translation 1, and Build with AI uses what each build takes. Moderation and the replies and flows you write yourself never use them. Every plan brings as many AI credits each month as it has moderated comments, and they reset with the plan. On a paid plan you can add 1,000 for $10 when you need more; bought credits never expire.
No. From Starter the same plan runs comment-to-DM, DM keywords, welcome messages, story replies, a drag-and-drop flow builder with templates, and AI agents that answer from your own knowledge, on Facebook and Instagram, with unlimited contacts. Moderation hides the spam and abuse under the same posts and ads, so one tool covers both.
