Loop vs LinkDM — own your audience, not just your DMs
LinkDM does one thing well: it sends a link in a DM when someone comments. If that's all you need, it works.
But a link sent is not an audience built. The follower clicks through, and you have no idea who they were. No email. No way to reach them again. Next launch, you're back to begging the algorithm.
Loop is built around the opposite assumption — the DM is the start of the relationship, not the end of it. Every Loop conversation is designed to capture the email address inside the chat, so when the follower's attention moves on, you still own the way back to them.
Pricing matters too. LinkDM tiers by contacts and features; the more your audience grows, the more it costs to talk to them. Loop is flat. Forever. Your audience grows, your bill doesn't.
And Loop covers Facebook Pages as a first-class platform, not an afterthought. One automation, both networks.
If you only need a link auto-sent and never plan to email your audience, LinkDM is fine. If you want to actually own the list you're building, use Loop.
