The product

## Why creators switch from ManyChat

Not in ManyChat

Not in ManyChat

Posts your AI plans wait for your Approve. No setting lets it skip you.

The short answer

## Ghostedit or ManyChat?

Use both if you already have ManyChat: keep it for DMs and post from Claude or ChatGPT with Ghostedit. Pick Ghostedit alone if you want posting and comment-to-DM in one tool at a flat price. Pick ManyChat alone if you only need DMs, or WhatsApp and Messenger. ManyChat doesn't post.

### Pick Ghostedit if

- You use ManyChat and want posting that works alongside it
- You want comment-to-DM plus posting in one tool
- You want a flat price that doesn't grow with your contacts
- You want to set up DMs by asking Claude or ChatGPT

### Pick ManyChat if

- You need long DM flows, or WhatsApp and Messenger
- You only need DMs and nothing else

Questions

## Ghostedit vs ManyChat: common questions

### Can I keep ManyChat and use Ghostedit just for posting?

Yes. Your ManyChat flows keep working on posts Ghostedit publishes, since they're normal posts on your account. Ghostedit's own comment-to-DM comes at no extra cost and stays off unless you set it up. Just don't use the same keyword in both, or people get two DMs.

### Does Ghostedit do what ManyChat does on Instagram?

For the most common use, yes: someone comments a word on your post and gets your link by DM. ManyChat goes further with long DM flows and other apps like WhatsApp.

### Is Ghostedit cheaper than ManyChat?

Usually. ManyChat Pro is $39 a month for 2,500 contacts, then $0.05 per extra contact. Ghostedit Creator is $19 a month with 30 DM automations, Pro is $39 with unlimited, and neither charges per contact.

### Can ManyChat post my videos?

No. ManyChat sends messages only. Ghostedit posts to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and more, and sends the DMs.
