LinkDM alternative
A LinkDM alternative built for brand deals
What is a good LinkDM alternative for creators?
BravoDM: the same comment-to-DM, at $15 a month flat with no cap on DMs sent, and a rate card, brand pitching, and payment tracking behind the link.
Facts and prices from LinkDM's own pages, checked November 12, 2026: LinkDM pricing page.
LinkDM is a focused, well-priced DM tool: it prices by how many DMs you send each month, and its Pro plan carries a generous 25,000. If sending links by DM is the whole job, it does that job cleanly.
BravoDM is for the creators whose DM starts a brand deal. The automation is one flat price with no DM meter, and behind the link sits the deal desk: your rate card, a catalog of brand programs to pitch, the pipeline, the invoice, and the chase, all in the account that sent the DM.
What a month costs, by DMs sent
| Volume | LinkDM | BravoDM |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000 DMs a month | $0 (Free) | $0 (Free) |
| 25,000 DMs a month | $19 (Pro) | $15 (Pro) |
| 100,000 DMs a month | $99 (Platinum+) | $15 (Pro) |
| 300,000 DMs a month | $99 (Platinum+) | $15 (Pro) |
LinkDM prices by DMs sent per month: Free covers 1,000 DMs on one account, Pro is $19 a month for 25,000 DMs across up to 3 accounts ($182 a year), and Platinum+ is $99 a month for 300,000 DMs across 10 accounts ($832 a year). BravoDM does not meter DMs or contacts on any plan: Free includes DM automation, and Pro is $15 a month or $120 a year for everything. Prices read on LinkDM's pricing page on November 12, 2026.
Feature by feature, honestly
| Feature | LinkDM | BravoDM |
|---|---|---|
| Comment-to-DM automation | Its core job, for Instagram and Facebook, with flow automation on Pro. | The same trigger on Instagram: a keyword comment earns your DM, with your links page and rate card behind it. |
| Follow gate | Lists a follower growth tool among its Pro features. | A true gate, checked at the tap: the person taps for your link, BravoDM checks the follow at that moment, and the default is fail-closed while the answer is unknown. |
| Follow-up and reminder DMs | Reminder DMs are a listed Pro feature. | Two follow-ups per automation, written by you, sent inside the same 24 hour window when the first message gets no answer. |
| DM caps | Plans cap DMs per month: 1,000 free, 25,000 on Pro, 300,000 on Platinum+. | No DM allowance or per-DM charges; sends pace at 200 an hour. |
| Brand deal pricing | None. The tool prices conversations or messages, not deals. | A published pricing model prices each deal from your audience, the deliverables, and the usage terms: a floor, your number, and a strong ask. |
| Rate card and links page | None. | A public rate card and links page the DM carries, so the conversation lands on your prices. |
| Deal pipeline, invoices, payment chasing | None. What happens after the chat is yours to run elsewhere. | One pipeline from pitch to paid: pitch drafts you approve, invoices, and chase drafts on a day 1, 7, 14, 30 ladder you approve before they send. |

Questions, answered plainly
Is BravoDM cheaper than LinkDM?
At low volume they are close: both have a free plan, and LinkDM Pro is $19 a month to BravoDM Pro's $15. The difference is the meter. LinkDM charges by DMs sent (25,000 a month on Pro, then the $99 Platinum+ tier), while BravoDM charges nothing per DM at any volume.
Does BravoDM cap how many DMs I can send?
No. There is no per-DM charge and no monthly DM cap in BravoDM's pricing. Meta's own messaging rules still apply, as they do for every tool on the official API.
Does BravoDM automate Facebook DMs like LinkDM?
No. BravoDM is Instagram only. If Facebook DM automation matters to you, LinkDM covers it and BravoDM does not.
Start free: your first automation takes minutes, and the deal desk is already behind it.
