Cost and billing questions
How much does BuzzWire cost?＋
BuzzWire Free is $0 forever, with unlimited DMs and automations for one Instagram account. BuzzWire Pro is $9.99/mo billed monthly, or $79/yr billed yearly, which works out to $6.58/mo. That is the Founding Member price. BuzzWire never charges per message or per contact.
Is the free plan really unlimited?＋
Yes. The free plan has no cap on DMs, automations or contacts. Every DM still goes out within Instagram’s own limits, at the same pace as on Pro. Free DMs carry a small “⚡ Automated with BuzzWire.io” line. There is no trial timer on the free plan.
What does BuzzWire Pro add?＋
Pro adds Follow Gate, which asks people to follow before the link while the link always arrives, and Follow Nudge, a friendly “follow me” line with no check. It adds Email Capture, which asks for the email first and exports to CSV. It also adds image-card DMs, removes the BuzzWire line and includes priority support.
How does the 14-day Pro trial work?＋
Every new account gets 14 days of Pro, with no card required. You can use Follow Gate, Follow Nudge, Email Capture and image cards during the trial. If you don’t upgrade, the account moves to the Free plan on its own. You are never charged by surprise.
How does BuzzWire’s price compare with ManyChat?＋
ManyChat’s free plan covers 25 active contacts. Its Pro plan is $39/mo billed monthly, or $29/mo billed yearly (as of 15 Oct 2026). BuzzWire Free has no contact cap, and BuzzWire Pro is $9.99/mo. ManyChat covers more channels than Instagram.
What is the difference between Follow Gate and Follow Nudge?＋
Follow Gate checks whether someone follows you before it sends the link. Followers get the link right away. Everyone else is asked to follow first, and the link still arrives. It works on comments, DMs and story replies. Follow Nudge does no check: it adds a friendly “follow me” line to your comment DMs. Both are Pro features.
With Follow Gate, do people who don’t follow me still get the link?＋
Yes, always. Follow Gate asks them to follow you first, but the link arrives whether they follow or not. Nobody is left without what they asked for.
Can I cancel anytime?＋
Yes. Cancel from your settings, or email support@buzzwire.io. Your Pro access runs until the end of the period you paid for, and then the account moves to the Free plan. Refunds follow our Refund Policy at buzzwire.io/refund-policy.
Who handles billing?＋
Dodo Payments handles billing as our Merchant of Record. Dodo Payments takes care of sales tax and invoices around the world. Prices are in US dollars. Pro renews each month or each year, depending on the billing you pick, and you can cancel anytime.
Do you have plans for more accounts or a team?＋
Not yet. Every plan connects one Instagram account today, and multi-account and agency features are on the roadmap. If you run several accounts or a team, email support@buzzwire.io. Tell us what you need, and we will reply with what we can do now.
