Where LinkDM is the better choice
No product wins everything. LinkDM beats snazzy on:
- 1,000 free automated DMs a month is a strong free tier for the DM job alone
- Story mention auto-replies and inbox starters
- Advertising automation and multi-step flows on the paid tier
If any of those are the reason you are shopping, buy theirs. You will be happier.
The short version
LinkDM does one job well and its free tier is more generous than ours on DM volume. It does not schedule posts, so if you use it you still need a scheduler alongside. snazzy is both in one place.

Why snazzy can afford a free tier
Most schedulers run on always-on servers and bill for video storage and bandwidth, so every free user costs them money every month. snazzy runs on Cloudflare Workers, D1 and R2: an idle account costs us essentially nothing, and R2 charges no egress fees — the line item that hurts most for a video product. That is why our free tier has no expiry and needs no card. It is not a promotion we have to withdraw later.
