Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Synology Active Insight holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Synology Active Insight has 32 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of InstaShare's written reviews are positive against 23% of Synology Active Insight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
InstaShare ships an update every 4 months, Synology Active Insight every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
