Connect an Instagram account for DM outreach (hosted sign-in, no password shared)
Connect an Instagram account for DMs: returns a hosted sign-in link the account holder opens once (username, password and the two-factor code go to the provider's page, never to RouterGrowth), then reports the connection status. Without a name it reports the account already connected instead of minting a link. Run again with the name to confirm or to get a reconnect link. Free to run; a connected account rents a seat billed monthly.

Free: connecting, status checks and reconnect links cost nothing. Each connected account then rents a seat at $8.25 a month, charged to the wallet until you disconnect it (dashboard, or DELETE /v1/instagram/accounts/<name>). The account holder is the sender of record and accepts Instagram's terms on automation.
The exact quote is returned by /v1/inspect before every call and held with headroom (1.5x the quote) on execution. The quote is the price floor: if the provider's actual cost overruns it, the run bills at about 1.5x cost, never above the hold. The unused part of every hold is released.
