Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iStory for Instagram at 4.4 against MarinDeck's 3.7. iStory for Instagram also leads on ratings volume (2.5K vs 10). MarinDeck's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

iStory for Instagram holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7.

Written reviews complicate that: 22% of iStory for Instagram's written reviews are positive against 44% of MarinDeck's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iStory for Instagram ships an update every 5 weeks, MarinDeck every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
