Why creators switch

  • Comment-to-DM, ready to use

    Set a keyword per Reel, reply publicly and send your link by DM, with daily limits, quiet hours and a pause button.

  • The sale happens in the same place

    The DM can link to your Plugio product or booking page, and each rule reports clicks and sales.

  • Your posts and your buyers, together

    Schedule to YouTube, Instagram and Facebook, then see every buyer and booking in one list.
