Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Insta360 at 4.4 against Auto's 2.1. Insta360 also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (9.4K vs 55). Auto's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.
