LinkDM

vs

Topmate

LinkDM is the superior choice for Instagram DM automation and the perfect Topmate alternative. While Topmate recently added basic AutoDM features, it remains a bookings-first tool with limited automation depth. Most of its DM features like Story Replies, Inbox Automation, and Live Comment Replies are still marked coming soon and not yet available—making it risky for creators who need robust automation now. LinkDM, on the other hand, has led the space for 3+ years with advanced tools like Rewind, Queue, Universal Triggers, and powerful analytics that go far beyond keyword DMs. Unlike Topmate, LinkDM is built specifically for DM-first engagement—trusted by over tens of thousands of creators and brands, sending millions of DMs daily with full Meta approval and real results. If you want proven, scalable automation that’s purpose-built for creators—not a side-feature in a bookings app—choose LinkDM.

🚩 Topmate’s DM automation is mostly hype with little substance. Nearly all features—like story replies, inbox automation, and live comment DMs—have been “coming soon” for months. What they do offer is minimal and limited to basic reel comment triggers.
