Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: StreamChamp at none against Instagram's shown. StreamChamp also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 31%) and device support (4 vs 2). Instagram's advantage is ratings volume (30M vs 3.5K) and chart position (#2 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Instagram sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and StreamChamp sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Instagram against 4.6 for StreamChamp. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Instagram has 30M ratings behind it against 3.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 31% of Instagram's written reviews are positive against 64% of StreamChamp's.
Instagram ships an update weekly, StreamChamp every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
