Quick verdict
InstantDM sells flat-rate unlimited automation in US dollars, from $9.99/month, with a 7-day trial rather than a permanent free plan. likecmtshare bills in rupees by DM volume, starting free with 1,000 DMs and ₹149/month after that. At current rates InstantDM's entry plan is roughly ₹850–900 a month, so likecmtshare is cheaper until you need very high volume; InstantDM becomes better value if you send huge numbers of DMs every month.
