These examples use published prices.

Confirm tax, region and renewal at checkout.

HeyDM: The live annual Pro card shows ₹3,999 paid upfront and labels it ₹333/month.
That is a rounded monthly share, not a monthly payment.
A 14-day trial ends.
Zorcha: Pro: $14.99/month, or $179.88 for 12 monthly payments.
Free may be enough for a follower-gated link.
Confirm tax and checkout currency.
If the only needed paid step is a follower check, test Zorcha Free first.
HeyDM’s annual plan should solve an extra job you need.

Example: a returning commenter on a new post

A follower asks for the same link on two posts.

You want useful replies without confusing repeats.

Zorcha lists Ask for Follow on Free.
Test both existing and new followers.
HeyDM lists next-post and comment re-trigger tools.
Check when they repeat a reply and which post they target.
Test the new post separately from an older post.
Keep the word and link clear for each offer.
Record whether the follower gets the link, how repeat comments behave, and how long delivery takes.

What should you keep before switching?

Keep Zorcha when its free follower path does the job.
Keep HeyDM if its repeat-trigger or next-post setup helps your publishing routine.
Before moving, list active posts and pending triggers.
Leave your bio page and store in place.
