AureliusCo vs LinkDM
LinkDM is instagram DM automation priced per message sent. Here's how it compares to AureliusCo's Instagram-only, account-and-reply-priced automation.
Pricing
AureliusCo
Basic $17/mo (1 account, 10 replies/day), Growth $41/mo (3 accounts, 500 replies/day), Elite $66/mo (10 accounts, 2,000 replies/day). 14-day free trial on every plan, annual billing saves 20%.
LinkDM
Free (1,000 DMs/mo, 1 account), Pro $19/mo (25,000 DMs, 3 accounts), Platinum+ $99/mo (300,000 DMs, 10 accounts), custom Enterprise above that.
Pricing model: Priced per DM sent per month, not per contact — a viral post eats into your monthly DM allowance rather than multiplying your bill outright.
Channels
AureliusCo automates Instagram DMs and comments only, built on Instagram's official Graph API. LinkDM covers: Instagram (comments, DMs, Stories, Facebook comments).
Where LinkDM is strong
- ✓Official Meta Tech Partner, built on Instagram's official API
- ✓DM-volume pricing model avoids per-contact cost spikes
- ✓Broad trigger coverage: posts, Stories, comments, IG Live (on paid plans)
Trade-offs to know
- –Entry-tier free plan caps out at a relatively low 1,000 DMs/month
- –Lead-capture integrations (Kit, Flodesk) are limited to specific paid tiers
- –No distinction between a scripted reply and an AI-generated one — replies are template/flow-based
Which one fits you
LinkDM is best for: Creators and businesses who want simple, DM-volume-priced Instagram automation without a contact-based pricing model.
AureliusCo is different because: AureliusCo gives you a choice per automation between a Fixed Message and a Smart AI reply that generates context-aware responses from a prompt — not just template flows. Plans are priced by account + daily reply cap rather than total DM volume.
