Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Instagram at 30M against OVF Editor's 48K. Instagram also leads on chart position (#3 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence 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 OVF Editor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 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 4.7 for OVF Editor. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Instagram has 30M ratings behind it against 48K, 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 30% of OVF Editor's.
Instagram ships an update weekly, OVF Editor every 8 days. Both last shipped on September 29, 2026.
