01

Drop-in replacement

If you use LinkDM for LINK comments, OpenInstaDM is a 1:1 swap: pick a post/reel, set keywords like LINK, SHOP, GUIDE, and the worker delivers Meta-compliant private replies with your tracked URL.

02

Own your stack

Self-host with no seat limits or opaque AI markups. Your Postgres, your Redis, your encryption key. Hosted SaaS also available if you prefer managed.

03

Prove the click

Every reply can wrap your destination in a tracked redirect (/r/[slug]). See per-campaign clicks and CTR, not just sends.
