The questions our community asks the most
If one of these questions is what's holding your start back, it's probably answered right below.
How do I choose a promotion tool for groups?
Compare four objective points: which channels it publishes to (WhatsApp, Telegram or both), whether it schedules times, whether it builds the offer artwork and copy, and the monthly price.
What is the difference between a support bot and a promotion tool?
A bot answers people who message you; a promotion tool publishes offers to your groups and channels on time. DivulgaNinja is the second kind: it finds offers, creates the post and publishes it.
How much does a group promotion tool cost?
The market charges monthly by number of channels or posts. DivulgaNinja plans start at R$ 49.90 per month and can be cancelled whenever you want.
Is it worth paying for a promotion tool?
The maths is simple: how much time per day you spend building and pasting offers manually. Once that time is worth more than the subscription, the tool pays for itself.
Can I test before subscribing?
Yes. The usual path is creating the account, connecting one group or channel and publishing a few offers before expanding to every channel.
Do I need separate tools for WhatsApp and Telegram?
Not if the tool publishes to both. Keeping a WhatsApp group and a Telegram channel on the same schedule is standard for anyone working at volume.
