Which to use
Instantly wins when the job is sending and landing cold email, including deliverability, not building a general contact database. Manychat wins when your sales start in Instagram comments and DMs and you want automated replies, lead capture and links to buy.
- Choose Instantly if cold email is the channel and you want sending, leads, and inbox placement together.
- Choose Manychat if you sell through Instagram or other DMs and want comments and messages answered automatically.
