When to pick LinkDM instead of Elevion
LinkDM is an Instagram DM automation tool from Melbourne, Australia. It is the better choice in some cases, and Elevion is in others.
Pick LinkDM if
- You want to start free. LinkDM's free plan connects 1 account and sends up to 1,000 DMs a month, with LinkDM branding.
- You run 2 or 3 accounts on a small budget. LinkDM Pro covers 3 accounts for $19 a month, and Elevion Creator covers 1.
- You want to send DMs to people who commented on older posts. LinkDM lists a Rewind feature for this.
- You want broadcast DMs, which LinkDM lists as a feature.
Pick Elevion if
- Your posts can go viral. Elevion has no monthly DM limit, so a reel that takes off doesn't hit a cap.
- Your audience is in the EU and you want your data on servers in Germany rather than in the United States or Australia.
- You want an AI assistant that answers DM questions in your tone and hands personal or price questions to you (Business).
- You want emails and phone numbers saved in one lead inbox that you can export anytime (Business).

- Can I run LinkDM and Elevion at the same time?
