Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Instabot at 100% against Google Ads's 22%. Instabot also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Google Ads's advantage is ratings volume (5.1K vs 7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Instabot holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4.

Written reviews point the same way: 22% of Google Ads's written reviews are positive against 100% of Instabot's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Google Ads ships an update fortnightly, Instabot every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
