# Auto Reply vs SendDM

The clearest difference is rating: SendDM at 5.0 against Auto Reply's 4.2. Auto Reply's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Auto Reply sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and SendDM sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $11.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SendDM holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Auto Reply has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Auto Reply ships an update every 10 days, SendDM fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
