Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Insta360 at 4.4 against Insta360 Nano's 2.5. Insta360 also leads on ratings volume (9.4K vs 17) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). Insta360 Nano's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 23) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Insta360 sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Insta360 Nano asks for nothing beyond the download.
Insta360 holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Insta360 has 9.4K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Insta360 Nano's written reviews are positive against 29% of Insta360's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Insta360 Nano ships an update every 3 weeks, Insta360 every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
