Hey Product Hunter! 👋

We built FollowToDM because we noticed something simple: businesses work hard to get Instagram followers, but once someone follows, the conversation usually ends there.

So we built a simple way to automatically start that conversation.

I’d love your honest feedback, especially on the onboarding, DM experience, and what features you'd want to see next.

If you try it, let me know what you think! 🚀

The question that finally got my silent users to answer: "Even one letter helps"

Most of our signups never connected their Instagram, and almost none of them told us why. Surveys got ignored. "Why did you stop?" got silence or "it was fine."

Yesterday a tester told me setup "felt smooth." On my side, I could see he never connected his account. So instead of an open question, I sent:

"Was it (a) no Instagram account to use, (b) not comfortable connecting a real account, (c) didn't feel worth it yet, or (d) ran out of time? Even one letter helps."

He answered within the hour: (b). He also admitted his "smooth" only covered the steps before the scary one.

We asked 3,000+ people about the worst welcome DM they ever got. Here's what we changed.

Last week I asked Reddit a simple question: what's the worst DM you got right after following an account?

The thread got 3,300+ views and the answers were brutal:

"Hey king ready to 10x your life? 3 spots left "
A 4-paragraph sales pitch, 30 seconds after following, before they'd seen a single post
"My shy friend thinks you're cute" (that friend has been shy on 10,000 accounts)

But the most useful answer was this one: "I don't mind if someone reaches out about something specific. I unfollow when it's obviously automated."

We just reworked FollowToDM's pricing. Here's what changed and why

Last month we launched here with a 5-day trial. The problem: whether a follow-to-DM flow works depends on how many new followers you get, and in 5 days a smaller account might see two or three. That's not enough to judge anything. So we changed it.

What's new:

Free forever: 15 DMs/month, 1 account, no card
Starter, 29/mo: 20 DMs/day
Premium, 49/mo: unlimited DMs/day
Agency: 2-30 accounts. 45/account for 2-5, 38 for 6-15, 30 for 16-30

I'd like your honest take:
