### Is Motion Reel a good Inrō alternative?

If you also post to TikTok and YouTube, yes. If Instagram DMs are the whole job and you want an AI agent answering people, Inrō goes further.

### Can Inrō schedule reels?

Yes, on Instagram. Inrō says it creates, schedules and publishes Instagram posts, reels and stories. Its pages name no other platform.

Free covers 100 activated contacts and 3 active automations a month. Pro is €12.99 a month with a 14-day trial.

### Do both work with Claude?

Yes. Both have an MCP server. Inrō's reaches your contacts and campaigns, and Motion Reel's reaches your posts, stats and automations.

No. It sends the DM you wrote to people who comment your keyword.

### Do I need an AI agent to use Motion Reel?

No. Everything works from the dashboard, and an agent can do the same things if you connect one.
