Why people choose Croudnest over LinkPlease.
Sell right inside the DMs
Send your products as swipeable catalogue cards. One tap on “More like this” sends similar products, and “Buy now” opens your store.
Safety while you build, not just while you send
Risk Check flags steps that break Meta’s messaging rules, like messages outside the 24-hour window, before your automation goes live.
Ready for small teams
2 seats on Plus and 5 on Pro, with follow-up messages and WhatsApp support from a real person.
Where LinkPlease is the better fit
We’d rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one.
- You want to re-run an automation on comments you missed in the last 7 days, or trigger DMs when someone shares your post.
- You want AI features like AI-written message variants, comment moderation or a brand-deal detector.
- You also want Facebook Messenger automation.
- LinkPlease states that it is a Meta Verified Tech Provider.

Can I move from LinkPlease to Croudnest easily?
Yes. Connect your Instagram account through Instagram’s own login, recreate your keyword automations and switch them on. We’re happy to help.
Is Croudnest cheaper than LinkPlease?
On yearly billing, the entry plans cost the same: ₹399 a month. Croudnest includes Account Protection and 2 team seats at that price, while LinkPlease’s AI features and AI account protection are on its higher plans.
Does Croudnest do everything LinkPlease does?
No. LinkPlease offers re-trigger for missed comments, share-to-DM automation, AI features and Messenger. Croudnest checks the automation while you build on Plus and above, and paid plans include teammate seats. A DM can include a card with an image, a title, and one link. There is no free trial of those paid plans.
Can I run both while I switch?
We don’t recommend it. Two tools replying to the same comments doubles your sending and looks like spam to Instagram. Move one automation at a time.
