Viralyze Starter vs Pro: Which Plan Do You Need?

The difference between Viralyze Starter and Pro is not the Auto-DM engine, which is identical on both. Starter at ₹199 a month gives you unlimited Instagram Auto-DMs, every trigger type, bookings, shop and analytics. Pro at ₹1,199 a month adds AI replies in English, Hindi and Hinglish, a WhatsApp chatbot that is coming soon, priority support and early access to new features.

So the question is really whether you need those four extras. For most creators starting out, the answer is not yet.

What do both plans share?

Both plans include the full Viralyze core. That covers:

• Unlimited Instagram Auto-DMs on comments (specific post or any post) and story replies
• Multiple keywords per automation, with Hinglish, emoji and typo handling
• Follow-gate, public comment replies and AI variations
• Scheduling, auto-pause and the live tester
• Bookings with a service menu, Google Calendar two-way sync and UPI payment
• Shop, courses, smart links and link in bio at 0% platform fee
• Analytics, per-automation funnels and contacts export

If your goal is "turn PRICE comments into sales", Starter already does it.

What does Pro add that Starter does not?

Pro adds four things. First, AI replies in English, Hindi and Hinglish, so follow-up questions in your Inbox can be answered in the reader's language. Second, a WhatsApp chatbot, coming soon, designed to answer FAQs and book slots. Third, priority support. Fourth, early access to new features before they reach Starter.

Note that replying in the commenter's language for the first Auto-DM is already on Starter. Pro's AI replies are about the conversation that follows.

Who should choose Starter?

Choose Starter if you run a small number of automations and handle follow-up DMs yourself. A yoga instructor with one pinned reel, a "BOOK" keyword and a booking link with three services (60-minute private class, 30-minute consult, 5-class pack as an add-on) fits Starter comfortably.

At ₹1,990 a year, Starter costs less than a single ₹2,000 class, which makes the maths easy.

Who should choose Pro?

Choose Pro if you get more replies than you can answer, especially in Hindi or Hinglish, or if you want to be first on the WhatsApp chatbot when it ships. Pro also makes sense if support speed matters because your account is a primary income source.

At ₹11,990 a year it is still flat pricing with no per-contact charges, so the cost does not climb as your list grows.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes. You can move from Starter to Pro or back without rebuilding automations, products or booking pages. Both plans carry the same 7-day free trial with no card needed, and you can cancel anytime.

A practical path is to trial Pro, see whether the AI replies change how you handle the Inbox, and then decide. If you barely open the Inbox, Starter is enough.

How do the two plans compare on price?

Starter is ₹199 a month or ₹1,990 a year (₹166 a month). Pro is ₹1,199 a month or ₹11,990 a year (₹999 a month). Outside India, Starter is $4 a month and Pro is $19 a month. Prices include GST where applicable and promo codes are accepted.
