About ThenChat
We're on a mission to help small creators and businesses save time and build stronger relationships with their Instagram audience — without breaking the bank.
Our Story
Hey, I’m Smith — and like many creators, I used to spend hours replying to DMs and comments on Instagram just to keep my community alive.
I wanted to run simple comment-to-DM workflows like:
But I hit a wall. Some tools cost $21/month just for that — way too expensive when you’re a growing creator.
So our goal? Help you save time, grow faster, and never miss a chance to connect — all without overpaying or overcomplicating your workflow.

Early Access Rollout
Slowly started onboarding our first users to test core features like comment-to-DM automation, AI replies, and keyword triggers.
