THE SHORT ANSWER

Is Zorcha a free alternative to LinkDM?

Yes. Zorcha offers unlimited Instagram DM automations and messages for free. LinkDM has a permanent free plan too, with 1,000 DMs per month and one Instagram account. Both support Post/Reel and Story automation.

The main difference is the message allowance and the features you need next. LinkDM Pro adds flow automation and in-DM Lead Gen; Zorcha’s Pro plan adds capabilities such as lead collection and custom flows. Compare those steps separately from the free message allowance.

How LinkDM pricing works

LinkDM’s plans combine a monthly DM allowance with account and feature limits. Free provides 1,000 DMs; Pro raises the allowance to 25,000.

$19 USD / monthLinkDM Pro · monthly billing

Pro supports up to three Instagram accounts. Platinum+ costs $99/month, with 300,000 DMs and up to ten accounts. Annual subscriptions are offered separately.

LinkDM’s monthly Pro card lists 25,000 DMs/month and up to three accounts, while its annual card explicitly says per account. Confirm how the allowance applies across accounts before calculating a total. Instagram’s own delivery rules still apply.
