ManyChat alternative for India
The ManyChat alternative built for Indian creators
If you mainly automate Instagram, paying in dollars per contact is hard to justify. AiHopper does comment-to-DM, story replies, follow gates and AI replies, adds content and scheduling tools, and costs a flat price in rupees.
