The short answer
DevReply is a native “message the developer” chat inside your iOS, Android or web app, answered from one inbox, with an MCP server so your own AI agent can read, answer and set things up. No per-seat or per-answer fees, and the free plan includes the native SDKs. Most tools below do more things; DevReply does this one thing for small app teams.
