Summary

ReplyPilot is an AI-powered social media copilot. It plugs into your browser as a Chrome extension and helps you draft fast, personalized replies for comments and messages across LinkedIn, Instagram, X, and YouTube. You type, it suggests a reply in your tone, and you hit send.

Where it stops: ReplyPilot does not offer Instagram DM automations, campaigns, or CRM. There’s no concept of comment/Story triggers, DM broadcasts, or funnels, it focuses on writing replies, not running flows.

Inrō is an Instagram-first DM automation & CRM platform. It powers comment-to-DM, Story/Live/DM/ad triggers, DM campaigns, segmentation, AI comment replies, and an AI Agent, with unlimited contacts and a pricing model based only on contacts activated in automations, not per DM.

If you want help writing replies, ReplyPilot is useful. If you want to automate funnels, campaigns, and revenue from Instagram DMs, Inrō is the better choice.

What Is ReplyPilot?

ReplyPilot is an AI co-pilot for online interactions.

  • It’s a Chrome extension that integrates into reply boxes on platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, X, and YouTube.
  • You install it, activate a subscription, then type /rp in a comment or DM box to generate a tailored reply in your voice.
  • It focuses on quick, context-aware, on-brand replies that feel like you (tone, style, even regional slang).

What Is Inrō?

Inrō is an Instagram-first DM automation & CRM for creators, coaches, e-commerce, agencies, and consultant-led brands.

Why Instagram DMs?

DMs are where intent happens: someone comments “link?”, replies to your Story, or asks a product question. that’s the hottest moment to act. Most “IG automation” tools either:

  • charge per DM or per contact,
  • are too complex to ship fast, or
  • risk your account with aggressive patterns.

Inrō solves this with:

  • Fast setup, simple flows – launch comment-to-DM or Story automations in under 2 minutes with plug-and-play templates and a visual builder.
  • Affordable at scale – unlimited contacts; you only pay for contacts activated in automations that month (who actually engage), not per DM.
  • Instagram-native power:
    • Triggers from comments (posts/Reels), Story replies/mentions, Live comments, inbound DMs, and click-to-DM ads
    • DM campaigns/broadcasts for releases, drops, restocks, and events
    • AI comment replies that stay fresh and non-repetitive
    • An AI Agent for 24/7 replies, qualification, sales, and bookings
    • Audience tags & segmentation, A/B testing, surveys/quizzes, waitlists
    • 8,000+ integrations via Make.com, plus Shopify, Calendly, Stripe & webhooks

And it’s built Meta-approved and creator-safe, with time delays, wait-for-reply, comment-ratio controls and throttling to keep patterns human and compliant.

Why Inrō Wins

1. Reply-writing vs revenue-generating

ReplyPilot is amazing for writing faster on multiple platforms, it’s an AI copy assistant.

Inrō is built to drive revenue and growth on Instagram:

  • Collect leads from comments & Stories
  • Qualify them via flows and AI
  • Push them to Shopify, Stripe, Calendly or your CRM
  • Re-engage them later with DM campaigns

If you want Instagram to be a sales & acquisition channel, you need Inrō’s triggers, flows, CRM and campaigns — not just faster typing.

2. Full IG funnels, not one-off replies

ReplyPilot helps you answer one comment or DM at a time.

Inrō lets you design:

  • “Comment GUIDE → DM lead magnet → tag → email capture → launch-day broadcast”
  • “Story reply → quiz → product recommendation → checkout link”
  • “Reactivation campaign → send DM to tagged, inactive leads with new offer”

That’s the difference between a reply tool and a funnel platform.

3. AI that runs the conversation for you

ReplyPilot’s AI drafts your reply; you still hit send manually.

Inrō’s AI Agent and AI comment replies can:

  • Answer FAQs automatically
  • Handle objections
  • Recommend products or offers
  • Push users to bookings or purchases
  • Hand off to a human when needed

You’re not just saving writing time, you’re letting AI run parts of your acquisition and support.

4. Pricing that favors scale, not volume

ReplyPilot charges based on how many replies you generate. That’s fine for solo creators, but cost tracks directly with message volume.

Inrō:

  • Gives you unlimited contacts
  • Charges only for contacts activated in automations each month

So when a Reel or campaign goes viral, you’re not punished by per-reply limits or surprise overages.

Final Verdict: Inrō vs ReplyPilot

Choose ReplyPilot if…

  • You mainly want AI help writing replies across multiple platforms (LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube).
  • You or your team are still replying manually but want to save time and stay on-brand.

Choose Inrō if…

  • Instagram is a primary growth & revenue channel.

    • Run DM campaigns and re-engagement sequences
    • Use an AI Agent to sell, support, and book 24/7
    • Keep unlimited contacts with pricing tied to real engagement, not reply counts
