Pick Planoly instead of knit.bio if:
Yes. Its pricing page lists Instagram DM automation among the features of its paid plans, so the two tools overlap there. The differences are what surrounds it: knit.bio’s DM automation is on the free plan, and it sits next to Post Report, Trial Reels, a DM inbox and brand-deal tools.
knit.bio’s Free plan has no time limit: plan 10 posts ahead, 1,000 automated DMs a month, Comment Shield, analytics and a link-in-bio page. Planoly’s pricing page lists a 14-day trial on paid plans and a free mobile app plan limited to 10 uploads a month.
There is nothing to export. Re-add your upcoming posts in the planner, rebuild your link-in-bio page from a template, and keep Planoly running until your queue is empty so nothing is missed. See the Instagram post scheduler.
