Apiway vs Manychat

Apiway

On Apiway, you pay only for Automation Runs, not for subscribers.

For example, if a follower last interacted with your DM two years ago, Manychat will still charge you as if they were an active subscriber.

Manychat

On Manychat, you pay for 'dead' followers on your list that you can’t engage with.

For example, when someone comments on your post with a keyword and receives a link via Instagram DM, it counts as just one Automation Run.
