# Insta360 Nano vs Insta360

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.

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.
