Honest answers
Questions about Bagel vs Inbox.
Does Bagel manage DMs?+
Bagel tracks DM metadata (whether a conversation exists, last message timestamp) but does not read or display DM content. It is a relationship CRM, not a DM inbox replacement.
Is Inbox enough if I only use DMs for outreach?+
If DMs are your only outreach channel, Inbox covers the basics at a lower price. But if you also engage via replies, likes, and follows -- and want to track those interactions in a pipeline -- Bagel gives you the full picture.
