Ala Hamdan is a filmmaker and visual storyteller with over 1.2 million followers on Instagram. Her content centers around culture, faith, and the kind of everyday human moments that stop you mid-scroll. She tells stories through cinematic reels that feel personal, intentional, and real.
But Ala isn't only creating content: She's also building brands and running a business, all while managing a community that actually shows up. Her audience doesn't just watch and leave. They comment, reply, and start real conversations.
When Engagement Becomes a Full-Time Job
That level of engagement is great until you realize you can't physically reply to everyone. Ala's content consistently drives hundreds (sometimes thousands) of comments and DMs. Responding manually? Not realistic.
That's where AutoDMs come in. They let her instantly share links, send resources, and keep the conversation going without having to copy-paste the same reply 500 times. For creators at her scale, AutoDMs aren't a bonus feature. They're essential infrastructure.
The $500/Month Problem
Before switching to SuperProfile, Ala was using ManyChat to handle her AutoDMs. It worked fine. But every month, she was paying $500 for it.
That's $6,000 a year. Just to automate replies and send links.
She didn't need advanced chatbot flows. She didn't need complicated segmentation or marketing funnels. She just needed a tool that could reliably send the right message to the right person at the right time.
Paying premium prices for features she'd never touch started to feel like a waste.
A Simpler Solution That Actually Works
Ala switched to SuperProfile because it gave her exactly what she needed without the bloat.
She could still automate replies seamlessly. She could still share links instantly through DMs. She could still handle high volumes of engagement without breaking a sweat.
The difference? The price tag.
On SuperProfile's annual plan, Ala pays $300 per year. That's it.
What Changed (and What Didn't)
Nothing broke. Engagement didn't drop. Her workflow stayed smooth.
The only thing that changed was how much she was spending.
By making the switch, Ala cut her AutoDM costs by 95%. She went from paying $6,000 a year to $300. Same results, wildly different invoice.
The Bottom Line
If you're spending hundreds of dollars every month just to run AutoDMs, it's worth asking yourself: am I paying for what I actually use, or am I paying for what the company wants to upsell me?
You don't need a complicated tool with a million features. You need something that works, stays out of your way, and doesn't drain your budget.
If you want to keep more of what you earn and start the new year with a leaner, smarter setup, it might be time to make a change.
Create freely. Automate confidently. Spend intentionally.
