Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
XPics costs $0.99 and Instant Lines $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Instant Lines holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Instant Lines has 24 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of XPics's written reviews are positive against 62% of Instant Lines's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
XPics ships an update every 6 weeks, Instant Lines weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
