LinkDM pricing 2026: every plan and what it limits
LinkDM charges by DMs sent, not by contacts: 1,000 a month free, 25,000 on Pro, 300,000 on Platinum+. Past that you buy DM credits that never expire.
The short answer
LinkDM has 3 plans: Free (free), Pro ($19/month) and Platinum+ ($99/month), so you can start free on 1 account. Plans limit DMs sent a month; extra DM credits never expire. Prices are in US dollars, as LinkDM's pricing page showed them on November 2, 2026.

How extra use is billed
Each plan has a monthly DM allowance per account. When it runs out, credits you bought are used automatically; without credits, "DMs will stop sending until the start of the next month". The count resets on the 1st.
Credit packs, from LinkDM's help center: 1,000 DMs for $5, 20,000 for $15, 50,000 for $25, 100,000 for $49, 500,000 for $200 and 1,000,000 for $350. One balance serves every linked account, and "DM credits do not expire."
There is also an hourly pace. On Pro, DMs over it are queued for the next hour (the DM queue is a Pro feature). On Free, sending resumes for new comments at the start of the next hour.
No free trial on paid plans: the free plan needs no card, and a first monthly purchase can be refunded within 7 days. Yearly billing is $182 for Pro (20% off) and $832 for Platinum+ (30% off). LinkDM's pages do not say whether prices include tax.

What LinkDM does not sell at any price
Looked for on LinkDM's own pages on November 2, 2026.
- Post scheduling. LinkDM attaches DMs to posts you publish somewhere else, so you pay for a second tool. Postkey schedules the post to 11 networks and switches its DM keyword on with it.
- An AI agent connection. We found no MCP server for LinkDM. Postkey's lets ChatGPT, Claude or Grok build, edit and switch on automations.
- AI replies. Not found on LinkDM's pages. Postkey AI answers DMs from Create up.
- A DM inbox for live chat. Not found on LinkDM's pages. Postkey has one on every plan.
Who should pay for LinkDM
- A generous free plan and a low price for 3 accounts.
- Safety tools for posts that go viral: a DM queue, Slow Down Mode and sending to past comments.
- DM credits that never expire.
Who should pick Postkey instead
Postkey is the most agentic DM automation tool. Start on the free plan, no card, and rebuild your automations yourself or ask your assistant to do it.
- You want the post and its DM keyword in one place, switched on together.
- You want ChatGPT, Claude or Grok to build and run your automations.
- You want ManyChat's Flow Builder and Quick Automation editors, a DM inbox and AI replies in the same plan as your scheduler.
