What ManyChat is

What sets it apart deep Instagram and Messenger comment automation

Best for creators automating social DMs · Pricing model Free plan for 25 contacts, paid tiers from about $15/mo scaling by active contacts, AI add-on billed separately

ManyChat, founded in 2015, automates direct messages and comment replies across Instagram, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and TikTok. It targets creators and small businesses running marketing and lead-capture flows rather than support desks. In 2026 it restructured into five tiers, cut the free plan to 25 contacts, and now sells AI features as a separate add-on.

Cancellation

You cancel yourself on the website only (Settings then Billing then Cancel Subscription); it is not available in the mobile app. Cancellation is not immediate: the status becomes 'Pending cancellation' and Pro access continues until the end of the current billing period. If next month's invoice was already generated, that charge still goes through.
