Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TCG Trader at none against iStory for Instagram's 5. TCG Trader also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks). iStory for Instagram's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
