Aulto / A Manychat alternative

A simpler alternative to Manychat for Instagram DMs

Manychat is a big tool for building conversations. Aulto is for a smaller job: someone comments a word, gets your link in their DMs, and you keep their email. If that's what you need, it's quicker to set up and easier to live with.

Side by side

Which one suits you

Manychat suits you if

  • You build multi-step conversations with branches.
  • You want an inbox to chat with people yourself.
  • You want AI help and several messaging channels in one tool.
  • You don't mind a bigger tool to learn.

Aulto suits you if

  • You want comment-to-DM with a link or a freebie.
  • You want to collect emails in the DM and keep them as leads.
  • You'd rather pick a goal than build a flow.
  • You want your bio page and links next to it.

Check Manychat's own pricing page for its current plans. It prices by how many contacts you have.

Why it matters

Why people pick Aulto

Set up in minutes

Pick a goal, a post and a keyword. There's nothing else to learn first.

Start from a goal

Give something away, send a link, run a giveaway or answer a question. Each one is pre-filled, and you change the words.

Your leads stay yours

Emails go into your own list. Export them as a CSV any time.

Followers first, if you want

Send only once they follow you, with a nudge for those who don't yet.

How it works

Up and running in three steps

  1. 1

    Connect Instagram

    Use the same Professional account you use today.

  2. 2

    Set up the same automation

    Pick a goal, the post and the keyword you already use, and paste your message.

  3. 3

    Switch off the old one

    Turn off the matching automation in your current tool, so people don't get two DMs.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I move from Manychat to Aulto?

Yes. Connect Instagram, set up the same keyword and message, and switch off the old automation. You can import your existing contacts into Leads from a CSV file.

Is Aulto a full replacement for Manychat?

If your automations send a link or a freebie when someone comments, and you want the email, yes. Manychat is built for bigger conversation flows, and it's the better fit if that's what you run.

Will people get two DMs while I switch?

Only if both automations are on for the same keyword. Turn the old one off when you turn the new one on.

Do I need a special Instagram account?

You need an Instagram Professional account, either Business or Creator.

Does it follow Instagram's rules?

Yes. Aulto uses Instagram's own private-reply messaging through Meta's official API, and the guide at aul.to/meta explains what Meta expects from you.
