What changes at LiliFlow

Nobody here charges for the work the AI does

All nine bill per contact, per message volume or as a flat subscription. LiliFlow leaves basic automation unlimited and charges only for AI actions, the only ones with real processing cost.

0 creditsis what a comment, a DM, a keyword rule and a public reply cost. Unlimited on every paid plan.
10 creditsis one AI-generated reply that reads the comment and answers that specific person.
200 creditsis a 30-second block of audio in your own voice. None of the nine offers it.

FAQ

What everyone asks first

What exactly consumes credit on LiliFlow?

Only AI actions. Replying to a comment with a keyword, sending the DM, replying publicly and delivering a link consume no credit on any paid plan. Credit is spent on two things: an AI-generated reply at 10 credits, and cloned-voice audio at 200 credits per 30-second block. That is the complete table.

If I run out of credit, does my automation stop?

No. Basic automation keeps running because it does not depend on credit. Only the AI layer pauses, and you are notified on the first refusal by email and inside the app. You can also set a monthly spending cap so the bill never surprises you.

Does purchased credit expire?

No. Credits included with a plan renew monthly and do not roll over, but top-up credits bought separately accumulate indefinitely while the subscription is active. If you cancel, they are held and become valid again on reactivation.

Is the LiliFlow free plan really free?

Yes, no card and no time limit. It includes 1,000 automations per month and one Instagram account, with a discreet LiliFlow signature on DMs. On activation you also receive 2,000 AI credits valid for 7 days.

How much does LiliFlow cost?

LiliFlow has three plans: Free, with 1,000 automations per month and no AI; Starter at $8.97 per month with unlimited automations and 8,000 AI credits; and Pro at $18.97 per month with unlimited automations, 25,000 AI credits and cloned-voice audio unlocked. A top-up costs $5 for 3,000 credits and never expires.

Is LiliFlow safe for my Instagram account?

Yes. LiliFlow runs exclusively on Meta's official API, with official login and no password sharing. There is no scraping, no browser automation and no messages sent to people who never interacted with the account, which is exactly the behaviour that gets accounts restricted.
