# What can’t Replavia do?

> Replavia automates Instagram comments and DMs, collects leads and hosts a media kit. It does not grow followers, schedule posts, take payments for brand deals, screen your DMs for scams or work outside Instagram.

It is easier to choose a tool when you know what it leaves out. This is the honest list for Replavia, checked against the product.

## Growth and posting

- **No follower growth tools.** Replavia does not sell followers, likes or views. It does not follow or unfollow accounts for you.
- **No follow-gating.** You cannot make people follow you before they get the link. Meta does not allow it. See [Can I make people follow me first?](https://replavia.com/help/can-i-require-a-follow-before-sending-the-link)
- **No post scheduling or publishing.** Replavia cannot post to your feed, stories or reels. It does not ask Instagram for that permission.
- **No cold DMs.** Replavia only answers people who commented, replied, mentioned you or messaged you first. See [Instagram’s 24-hour messaging window](https://replavia.com/help/instagram-24-hour-window).

## Brand deals

- **No payments.** Brand money never passes through Replavia. It takes no commission.
- **No invoices or contracts.** You agree the deal and get paid with your own tools.
- **No prices set for you.** The prices on your media kit are only the ones you type. The editor can show a suggested starting range from published research. Brands never see it.
- **No scam screening.** Replavia does not read your DMs to find fake brands or impersonators. See [How do I spot a fake brand collaboration?](https://replavia.com/help/spot-fake-brand-collab-scams)

## Comments

- **No automatic hiding.** Comment Shield flags comments. A comment is hidden or deleted only when you click.
- **No action on live videos.** Instagram does not allow hiding or deleting comments on a live video.
- **No reporting or blocking on Instagram.** **Block in Replavia** only sends a person’s future comments to your review inbox, and **Stop DM** stops your automations messaging them.

## Channels

- **Instagram only.** There are no Messenger, WhatsApp, TikTok or YouTube messages today.
- YouTube offers no official way for apps to send DMs, so comment-to-DM on YouTube is not possible.

## Account and plans

- **No team seats yet.** You cannot invite teammates with their own logins. Team seats and A/B testing are not available today.
- **No AI on the Free plan.** AI comment replies and the AI DM assistant are on Pro and Scale only.
- **Not an email-marketing tool.** Replavia collects emails and can send two follow-up emails on Pro and Scale. For newsletters, export your leads to your own email tool.

## Good to know

- No tool can promise that Meta will never restrict an account, and Replavia does not.
