LinkBounce Features
Updated · LinkBounce team
ProductFrom a comment to a product link
For creators who sell from Instagram, LinkBounce matches a whole-word keyword such as LINK and sends one private DM with your product link through Meta’s official API. Free is $0; Creator is $8/month and Pro is $14/month.
Short answer: LinkBounce turns a comment into one private Instagram DM with your product link. You choose the post or Reel and a whole-word keyword, and a matching comment sends the link; nothing sends until you activate the campaign. Every plan includes 1 Instagram account, with Free at $0 and 500 automated DMs a month.
Whole-word comment-to-DM
You pick the post or Reel, the keyword, and the product link. The match is whole-word: a comment that merely contains those letters inside another word is not treated as the keyword. In the workspace, an explicitly activated campaign is what sends. A draft sitting in the account does nothing.
The private reply goes to the person who commented. It is one reply for that commenter on that post, not a thread of follow-ups and not a message to people who only liked the post or watched the Reel. That boundary is the product. LinkBounce is not a broadcast tool and it is not an inbox for WhatsApp or Messenger.
Official Meta API
The workspace connects an eligible Instagram Creator or Business account through Meta’s official Instagram Graph API. You authorize the connection yourself. LinkBounce never asks for your Instagram password. Meta’s own rules still apply: a professional account, its messaging window, and its platform rate limits. Pro removes LinkBounce’s monthly DM cap, and Meta’s limits still apply.
Preview before anything sends
A campaign has a preview, so you can see the DM before a real comment arrives. The preview sends nothing. You can check the wording, the product URL, and the post you selected while the campaign is still a draft.
Nothing goes live until you activate. If the keyword is wrong or the link points at the wrong page, fix it before activation. Comments do not produce DMs while the campaign is saved but inactive.
Public replies, tracking, and plans
Paid plans can also post public reply variations under the comment: 3 variations on Creator, 10 on Pro. Creator and Pro include All Posts and Next Post targeting. Creator includes tracked-link clicks, CTR, and a time series. Pro adds campaign comparison and a media breakdown. Free includes whole-word matching, 1 active automation, basic campaign results, and 500 automated DMs a month.
LinkBounce has three USD plans, billed for paid workspaces by Dodo Payments. Free is $0 with 500 automated DMs per month, 1 active automation, and 1 Instagram account. No credit card. Creator is $8/month or $80/year: 3,000 DMs per month, 10 active automations, 3 public reply variations, All Posts and Next Post targeting, and tracked-link clicks with CTR. Pro is $14/month or $140/year: unlimited monthly LinkBounce DMs subject to Meta’s limits, 50 active automations, 10 public reply variations, and campaign and media breakdown. Every plan includes 1 Instagram account. Free and Creator pause at the allowance. There is no automatic overage fee.
Limits that stay in view
One Instagram account per workspace. The account has to be a Creator or Business account connected with Meta OAuth. LinkBounce does not ask for your Instagram password. Saving a draft does not start sending. You activate each campaign yourself. A matched comment gets at most one private reply per commenter on that post. LinkBounce does not scrape profiles and does not message people who never commented.
Free stops at 500 automated DMs in the month. Creator stops at 3,000. Pro removes LinkBounce’s own monthly DM cap, and Meta’s messaging windows and rate limits still apply. Public reply variations are a paid feature: 3 on Creator, 10 on Pro. Link tracking and CTR are on Creator and Pro. Campaign comparison is on Pro.

Good questions.
Straight answers.
Plain answers about plans, the official API, and what LinkBounce does not do.
Does a saved campaign send on its own?
No. A saved draft never starts sending. You connect an eligible Instagram Creator or Business account and explicitly activate each campaign.
How many private replies does one commenter get?
At most one private reply per commenter and post claim, sent through the official Instagram Graph API when the comment matches your whole-word keyword.
Can I preview a campaign before it sends?
Yes. LinkBounce has a preview so you can see the DM before a real comment arrives. The preview sends nothing, and nothing goes live until you activate the campaign.
Which plans include public replies and click tracking?
Creator includes 3 public reply variations and tracked-link CTR. Pro includes 10 public reply variations and campaign comparison. Free is 500 DMs a month, 1 automation, and 1 Instagram account, with no card.
Does LinkBounce message people who did not comment?
No. It does not scrape profiles or send cold outreach. The trigger is a comment on a post or Reel you selected.
